Eating in the theatre. Thoughts?

Well, when I saw the horrible Roundabout revival of The Cherry Orchard, two 20-something girls sitting next to me were gnawing popcorn the entire show. It was already a torture to have to sit through that not so funny travesty on stage; and not being able to retire to a more satisfying world in my head due to the cacophony only adds more misery to an already miserable night.

Just because a theatre is selling drinks and snacks doesn't mean you're obligated to participate. Do you buy all the merch too?

I'm fine with eating or drinking at intermission. Just finish it in time. If it's a loud(ish) show and you need something, open/consume it during applause or a raucous number.

Eating in the theatre. Thoughts?

dunebuddy said: "I'll never forget the night I was toa production at the Lunt Fontaine. I was seated in the front mezz. Three women arrived just before curtain, giggling and carrying cups of soda. They sat down in the front row.Sometime during the performance one of the ladies placed her soda on the ledge in front of her. Evidently at some point she was unable to reign in her enthusiasm for what was happening on stage and moved in such a way causingthe soda to fall from the ledge and splashing onto an unsuspecting patron seated in the orchestra section below. The resulting scream was heard throughout the theater."

Minus the scream from me, this happened to me at a performance of Once a couple of years ago. This person at least had the courtesy to close the cup before they dropped it on me, so it was only a small splash.
