For those that have seen the show--even though there is a warning about explicit language in the show, have there been many instances of people leaving before act two? It seems like the
"atmosphere" of the show can swing either way.

I had the same thoughts.
I've been twice and only known of 2 old ladies that walked out -- but that seems more because they didn't actually get that they were getting STANDING room.
If there are others, it's not noticeable.
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?

Posted: 8/14/11 at 7:15pmI've never seen anyone walk out during the performance. I can't say people haven't returned for act 2 or not, though.

Posted: 8/14/11 at 8:06pmWhen I saw the last preview from standing room, I noticed at least a handful of people walk out during Sal Tlay Ka Siti because it was a dimly lit number that allowed them to exit somewhat discreetly.

No one walked out when I saw it (at least not during the actual show). At intermission all I heard was everyone raving about how great it was and how much fun they were having

Posted: 8/15/11 at 10:27amI've never seen people walk out during the show. But in the 3 times I've seen it, there's always been a few people who don't come back after intermission. That's pretty much every show I see on Broadway. I'm not sure why I notice that....other than to maybe move up to better seats. :)
