AIDA Spitting

Oh that is too funny! I've seen a spray here and there but then again I don't really try to get seats that close. I try to get at least between 8th and 10th row back.

I hear Douglass Sills really showers the audience in LSOH.

yeah...lol everything is so overpriced in theatres....I think skittles at the bar are 3 bux.

I'm surprised someone hasn’t brought a towel–you could sell it on E-bay afterwards. Guaranteed spit from your favorite Star! Someone would buy it.

BTW, Can they clone from spit?????

D

try being on stage and getting spit in the eye.

Wow, that is the absolute worse. I was doing the comedy Harvey for my school school and the other actor on stage was giving this big frustrated speach to my character, and he was just so into it that he spit right in my face. And I really didn't want to make a face or wipe it away (although now that I look back on it, that would have been funny), so you just kind of stand there, feeling this wetness on your face, and not being able to do anything about it. But luckily I got the hell off the stage right after. That was nasty.

When I watched the "Makeover Story" w/Sutton and Jennifer I coulda sworn I saw something fly out of Sutton's mouth during one of the TMM clips they used.

yes there is and it is hysterical. I just think that if it ois so extreme where the 2nd balcony patrons can see every bit of spittle then it is overkill.

When I saw Little Shop, EVERYONE was spitting up a storm. It's totally part of Doug Sills' character, and if you notice, he spits ten times as much as the Dentist than as anyone else. That's why the "Now SPIT!" is so funny at the end of his song...it always gets big laughs because most of the audience is like "Eww, why is that guy spitting so much?" and then they get that line and they're like "Ohhh, hahaha, so funny." I saw it from the second row to the left both times I saw it, and when Hunter came over there during "Meek" he was spitting like a mofo. I also noticed lots of spit from Rob Bartlett. That was a spitty show.

Off the topic of spit and onto Snot... did anyone else see Little Shop and notice Hunter was sniffling in between every line? It was my 2nd time seeing it and I didn't remember him sniffling that much the 1st time...but literally after every line, he'd sniffle. My mom said it was probably a character choice because Seymour's nerdy...and nerds usually have colds? lol, but I don't think THAT much sniffling was part of his characterization.

The Dentist is a verrrry sexual song! "Say ahhhh, now spit"??

Raul spit a lot in Rocky Horror.

There's only a few shows I've sit really close for, but I've noticed a lot of spitting! I don't think it's really something they can help, though it can get amusing. The worst is when it's supposed to be a really emotional song, but you can't help but laughing by the spit flying. This happens to me all the time at Rent, while watching Mark Richard Ford sing "I'll Cover You: Reprise". Or Matt Caplan sing anything.
