I understand. There are certain times when only bourbon--or Daniels or Dickel--will do.

How the hell do you sway to "What I Did For Love?"

Gurl, I don't know, but she did. It was spectacular.

Can everyone seal themselves in a bubble before entering the theater?

I'd prefer "whorish" perfume to pungent B.O. any day.



Can't stand the funk if I'm trapped in a theatre.

Fabrizio - I completely agree. People really make me mad when they think they are entitled to both arm rests.

I have a huge, albeit random theatre pet peeve, other than the offensive smells.

Are any of you ever bothered by men who put their arms around their significant other or child and then rub their backs? I get stuck by these people where ever I am, the theatre, movies, church or anywhere with similar seating circumstances. Not only is it really distracting to sit behind, but most of these men apparently reject any and all moisturizers. The result is a constant scratching noise from their over-dry hands on the others fabric.

Maybe it's just me.

Or women with long hair who sit in front of you, then drape it over the back of their seat...your legs become bathed in their hair. ICK.

My uncle once stood up and kneed a girl in the back of the head.

That doesn't really add anything to this thread, but I thought it was pretty funny. Still do, in fact.

I hate it when people feel the need to chew gum and leave their cell phones on. I can understand wanting to keep your cell on, but could you at least put it on silent or vibrate?

i agree with the hats, but then there is of course the big hair...I get to see one show a year on my annual vacation to New York. This summer I was sitting in the theater and this older woman who had teased her hair into an almost gravity-defying POOF sits directly in front of me. I missed half the show. i don't understand why that's necessary.

And I also hate when people don't hear every word going on in front of them and they say loudly "WhAT DID HE SAY!?" and the person next to them very loudly repeats back what was just sung or said. And then they start discussing loudly.

p.s i don't know if anyone cares but, there is an interview today on playbill.com with Christine Esterbrook of Spring Awakening and she talks about how she's allergic to perfume and people sitting on stage how she starts coughing.. etc

Well, she needs to take medication or wear nose plugs then. You can't predict if people are going to wear perfume, and there is onstage seating. The whole world isn't obligated to know that Christine Estabrook is allergic to perfume when they are getting ready to see that show.
