Audience Members You Want to Kick!

The worst is candy wrappers and cell phones.

yes actually this loser lasy the other night at the SING HAPPY benefit RIGHT IN FRONT of me kept moving around, getting up to leave to the rest room, coming in late, crossing over people, constantly looking thru binoculars, even though we were realy close, UUHHHH annoying.

also once when i saw bye bye birdie front row, this old lady that smelled like apple sauce kept coughing up a lung the whole time. UHHH

the other night at Wicked, i think it took this woman the entire 1st act to open 1 piece of candy...maybe if someone chokes (but doesnt die) it will teach them a lesson to eat candy during intermission..sorry to be rude but, im tired of idiots who have no respect and also pick the quiet scenes to be the loudest.

Ugh, there should be a height limitation on the people are going to sit in row A-F or something! I hate tall people sitting in front of me. Send them to the back damnit!

---sorry tall people!

Amen to the height limit! Short people should get priority seating in the first 10 rows. There's nothing worse than paying $100 for a premium seat and then having someone with a giant head sit in front of you when you're 5 feet tall! Or at least give us booster seats!

I believe at LSOH they actually had an announcement before the show (along with the usual 'turn off your cellphones') asking people to open candy wrappers before the show started. I also think it should be mandatory for people to bring KLEENEX... nothing worse than sitting next to someone with a cold who sits there sniffling through an entire show...

How could you not sing along to RENT? I want to, but to be polite I sing in my head.

"Ugh, there should be a height limitation on the people are going to sit in row A-F or something! I hate tall people sitting in front of me. Send them to the back damnit!"

Hey us tall people like to sit close to! Get a buster seat or something it's not our fault you are height impaired lol j/k. But I don't not agree on the height thing I'm to tall to agree!

But my 2 worst experiences where the first time I saw Hairspray there was a women a few people down from singing a long to the songs!! Who does that! Well, I do but only for the last few lines of the show after bows when everyone is clapping so no one can hear that's not the same as sings along to all the songs!

The second was the first time I saw Little Shop there was a boy who was maybe 5 sitting behind me and he kept leaning over to his grandpa sitting next to him saying things like "He hit Adurey" or "That's Seymour" stuff like that like it was cute cause he was little and really into it but there are other people who want to watch the show to!

They actually did the whole... NO CANDY WRAPPERS at a show and while they were telling people the anouncer opened a candy wrapper really loud in the microphone. It was a good laugh. I think it was Noises Off (the revivial they did)

I nearly felt like kicking my friend today, who was an audience member at Phantom yesterday.

Now I think that understudies are way underrated to begin with, so this really made me mad. She saw Sarah Lawrence as Christine instead of Lisa Vroman and said she didn't like her much...well, I could live with that, right? But then she whips out her Playbill, turns to the page with this cast listing, points to her name and goes: "Look, she's listed ALL THE WAY down here!" as if that explained everything. I was like, "And your point is...?" It's one thing if she didn't like her performance, but it really bugged me that the billing of her name should have anything to do with it. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I love how the announcer at Hairspray and how he says "We will be travailing back to the 1960s and since this was a time before cellphones and other electronically devices.." I don't know it exactly but it's funny!

Took the kids to see a saturday matinee of Phantom a week or so ago. (They behaved!).

We sat right in front of a group of people with southern accents. Before the show started, they talked (loudly) about someone they knew in the show. I was thinking to myself, oh great, loud southern tourists, a-hootin' and a-hollerin' every time their hometown friend appears on the stage. This is going to be terrible.

And then the show starts and ... SILENCE. The group didn't make a peep! Once act one ended, they started up again. blah blah blah and yakkity yak. And once the entracte began, total silence again!

I was really ashamed of myself for assuming that they were going to talk during the show. If you folks are reading this, I apologize! And that home town friend of yours was terrific.
