He doesn't know how to work a camera the best, so it's a little blury & dark, he didn't wait for us to finish smiling so Mitch has this weird half smile and I look absolutely ridiculous.
But of course my brother's came our perfect, haha.

I will have to get a better one if/whenever I get to go back.

Bump.

Here's what I did instead of being productive the other day:

Okay as one of the "two women", no, we were not there just to drink, we tend to go stand in the back for certain scenes when we are in lotto on the left side and can't see. Yes, we had some drinks, it was Thanksgiving Eve for christ's sake. Last night would be the 2nd time either of us have drank at the show and combined we've see it enough times where that is a small percentages of shows.

Last time I checked they gave the lighters out for a reason. And since we used them for what equated to 3 full songs, just like the majority of the rest of the audience, not so much in the orchestra, but the Mezz was lit up like a christmas tree, I don't think we need to give it a rest.

Hi Kate2, as the person in the "hideous pink wig", I thought I needed to defend myself here. First of all, I was up TWICE. AND I WAS ON THE AISLE so I didn't disturb anyone. I ran around the back so I could see the screen during the Stacee Jaxx intro and I ran to the bathroom during Harden My Heart. Your characterization that I was "back and forth constantly" is just WRONG.
Second, as said by lstbutifulgrl, yeah, we had a few drinks, for maybe the 2nd time ever at the show. But we were not drunk. You haven't seen the drunks that go to this show sometimes. People have been pulled out for being drunk & disorderly. We were no where near that and the ushers would have called us on it, if they thought we were being disruptive (which we were not).
We don't go to drink (there are plenty of places in NYC to get cheaper drinks, if that's your choice). We go to have a good time.
And as said, we use the lighters WHEN APPROPRIATE. The mezz had those lighters out for almost every song!
Ok, response to the rant over.
You should probably go on a Sunday to see how you like Emily. I think you'll be very pleasantly surprised.
I wish you and yours a Happy Thanksgiving!

I'm just going to but in for a second to wish everyone here a Fabulous Thanksgiving!!

P.s. It's nice to find out who this pink-wigged girl is, haha.

StarStruckGB - If you know who I am, please let me know! I'm a work in progress! LOL!

Oh, and just to mention, I get the same as lstbutifulgrl "I had such a great time watching you have fun!" or "I want to sit by you 'cause the people by me were dead!". But if someone asks us to settle down (and I still don't think we're ANYWHERE near disruptive), we will.

Nice pic! Happy Thanksgiving!

I've been at the show a few times when they were there... Hollis right? Im not a creeper lol cast members have mentioned you haha anyways I never thought they were a problem so I think you are just over reacting to what happened...

No I dont think you do lol I only saw the show three four times so I wouldnt really consider myself a regular but Ive seen you there doin the choreography with the cast haha I went with my friends and they were like wow I wonder how many times shes seen this

and theyve just said things like oh yeah shes a super fan and its sad she wasnt here for wes's last show, stuff like that

I definitely will then! and congrats on the five years cancer free! happy thanksgiving to you too!

I don't think either side is really 'wrong' here, just different expectations of how to enjoy the show. The show certainly encourages audience . . . um . . . enjoyment. It even thrives off an excited crowd. That said, it is still Bway, so you are going to have lots of people there just to watch, and they want to focus on the show, and the show alone.

I personally love the excitement in the crowd, but I can see others being annoyed. However, the songs are so loud, it's not like someone singing along is going to keep you from hearing it.

People who haven't seen it before aren't going to understand the moving around to get a better view of certain scenes, and in fact, that's the most annoying part of the show for me - there are A LOT of partial view seats. If you are in the outer half of either side orchestra section, you are missing a lot of the show, some of which is important to the plot. If you can't see Stacey Jaxx on the big screen, that whole scene would be confusing. The entire right side of the right orchestra can't even see the stairs, which is BS. Poor planning, imo.

The only time I've ever been annoyed was when there was a group of 3-4 young 20ish year olds (probably in college), who basically were having a conversation the entire time. Most of which was running commentary/sarcastic comments, too cool for the whole experience type stuff. They got some dirty looks, and eventually shut up.

Same show, the guys next to me were semi-loud, but only because they were genuinely enthused/surprised by the show, and/or laughing. While, probably inappropriate at South Pacific, they were not annoying in the least, because it was clear their noise level was just the result of liking the show a lot, and were enjoying it in the manner it was intended, as opposed to the kids behind me.

IN fact, one of my favorite moments from the show was the result of "inappropriate audience behavior". When Drew got up on stage to replace Stacey Jaxx, some woman in the back of the orch yelled, "I LOVE YOU CONSTANTINE!"

Everybody started laughing, CM paused for a full 3 seconds trying to think of something to say, then finally came with, "Who the F is Constantine?". Brought the house down.
