Posted: 2/10/05 at 4:34pmI fell asleep during 42nd Street. The first act was so boring to me. I loved the second act though.

Stratford Festival- generally anything in the Tom Patterson Theatre I fall asleep, which is awkward because the cast can see pretty much everyone in the audience. At one show I was sick and had a water bottle in my hand, I fell alseep and the bottle fell out of my hand and carreened down five wooden levels of seats, causing a big noise.
Also, S.F.'s Pride and Prejudice starring Lucy Peacock. Only thing I've ever disliked her in.

I fell asleep during Star Wars in 1977 also. I do love the movie, but I must have been exhausted.
I met my neice in NY last Spring. It was her first trip to NY and she was dozing during Rent.

Posted: 2/10/05 at 4:44pmDuring a school trip, I nodded off midway during the first act of a matinee of "Cats". I was elbowed awake by the girl next to me because I started to snore...

My friends know that if they fall asleep at the theater with me, even if it's the worst show ever, they will be in big trouble.
I can't tell you how many times I've been on school trips, seeing shows, and people who haven't slept in days hold their eyes open.

Posted: 2/10/05 at 4:55pmI've never fallen asleep...but I'm poor, so I usually do standing room if I can, and falling asleep while standing up is not one of my talents.

Posted: 2/10/05 at 5:45pmWas noding off during the 1st act of Pacific Overtures, everyone was really good in the play, but the story was slow and I was really tired. Also during Sound of Music and Oklahoma.

Posted: 2/10/05 at 5:50pmI don't see Oklahoma out of the fear that I'll never wake up again....
I most definitely have issues with my word choices on this board.

The only show I've ever slept through was Stomp. Irony, huh?
I was ten and it was late.

Posted: 2/10/05 at 6:01pmAmadeus, for like 5 minutes. It was boring, I'd seen it before and the theater was warm. And my friend sitting next to me had fallen asleep 5 minutes into Act 2, so I was all alone.

Posted: 2/10/05 at 7:37pmFell asleep when I took my younger sister to see Beauty and the Beast, but it was only during intermission...besides, I had had two midterms that day! lol
#46re: Have You Ever Fallen Asleep In The Theatre?
Posted: 2/10/05 at 7:42pmI fell asleep for like a minute before the intermission at RENT, but that was because I had a headache and had my math regents that day. But I didn't miss anything because I woke up quickly.

Posted: 2/10/05 at 7:43pmOnly on an 8th grade field trip to see Swing!-we sat all the way up and I don't like shows like that and it remains to this day the only musical I ever saw that I honestly did not at all like.

I fell asleep during most of the night shows at the 2002 National Thespian Convention. I was really sleep-deprived, so at least I have a good excuse...
And I'm pretty sure I dozed off during the tour of "Mamma Mia."
