i agree that the cast is responsible for the energy of the show, but i guarantee you that the better the audience is, the better the show is...i was a member of the audience for Master Class with Faye Dunaway, and she and the entire cast thanked me and my friends for being in Miss D's words "vociferous"...and as a performer, the audiences in Anchorage and Corpus Christi almost blew the roof off the place and made me want to perform even harder! so there you go...

Dud audiences just drain all the life out of the actors!

The first time I saw a musical on Broadway was last April when I saw Wicked. There were two men next to me checking their cell phones and pagers during the first act. I was so annoyed. Why pay $100 for orchestra seats when you're not going to even watch or listen to the music!! When I saw it the second time in July, the audience was much better.
