Why anyone would come to a show angry and drunk, then ruin things for everyone in the theater working or enjoying the show is beyond me. Mr. Pierce was full of grace and class as always. Ugh."



Can I bring you to the theater with me? I get so annoyed when people are loud at the theater!!! Or when they take their phones out with that light.

I’ve seen it 3x and never noticed any problems with the audience.

Was anyone else at the performance of The Little Prince where 20 minutes from the end, a woman took out her phone, refused to put it away, shone it in the faces of people who told her to…eventually security was called. What the hekcifjd is wrong with audiences??

I wanna know if it was the same woman in the second row of SOME LIKE IT HOT, who took phone calls the other night. We can call her the “2nd Row Lady”.

If anyone sees her at any show, at any point, stand and point and yell “Shame! Shame!”

Some of the worst audience behavior I've recently experienced was at Salesman a couple of months ago. From the woman that multiple times for minutes on end used her cell phone light to look at her Playbill, to the women in front of me who seemed to think she was watching TV and reacting so loudly half the orchestra kept looking at her, to obvious picture taking, to more I chose to forget, it was a frustrating afternoon. ATG makes offering drinks such a priority, and they don't seem to let their ushers do anything to stop such behavior. Like, just wave a flashlight down the aisle, it's the least they can do, and it's really unfortunate they're not empowered to do so.

What about when we saw Summer with Oscar winner Arianna Debose? Don't you remember the ladies singing and dancing drunk? Haha.

I saw a matinee in October. I heard not one line of the play due to continuous audience talking, opening wrappers, phones going off, and the guy behind me moaning the entire time. The lady next to me felt the need to explain EVERYTHING to her child. I even asked her to stop talking every minute but she continued. I had enough and left at intermission. I wrote a complaint to the Hudson about this but never heard back. I’ve been attending theatre in NYC for the last 12 years, and local many years before. This show, for whatever reason, attracts the worst audiences. My particular matinee was by far the worst audience I’ve ever encountered. Finally happy seeing a disruptive audience member get kicked out for their behavior. About time!

Because it’s a public space and not your living room. Show some respect and keep your f***ing shoes on, it’s really not that hard a concept to grasp on why you shouldn’t do that.



You can't ask for respect and use the F word in the same sentence you idiot. OK, point taken, I won't take my shoes off anymore, unless you are in the theater, then I will do it just to upset you for being so rude.

So, there were/are no consequences for this drunk and disorderly woman? Why wasn't she hauled off to jail and booked?
