Eating during Wicked — Page 2

Question about eating in theaters...just curious really.

Here in the UK it's a tradition that the ushers sell tubs of ice cream during the interval which invenitably I end up eating during the first part of the second act. Is this the same in the US as no one has mentioned ice cream.

Even in the far reaches of London, when I saw Wicked a middle aged woman was eating mints and rustling her packet all the time. Drove me nuts. Although I've never seen more than sweets (normally mints) being eaten in a theater here.

"no one has mentioned ice cream."

I guess you didn't read my post.

I personally think it's quite tacky to eat during a live performace. It is not a movie house. But, what do you do with those that HAVE TO constantly eat during a tv and movie show. Unfortunately, Broadway has to accommodate them because it is a business anyway. I regret to see theatre lobbies turning into movie house concessions of hotdogs, nachos, popcorn, and soda machines someday. I know a few that already look like one. Bring in the chicharones!
