Hilarious Comments Overheard By Tourists and Audience Members — Page 25

You don't need to join to read the site And yes as a matter of fact i did read this entire thread today from start to finish . Did i do something else wrong .

I shan't be bothering any of you again.

I guess they assumed Wickedday was American. Not many Europeans know what Broadway is. I was talking to my Irish cousins about Broadway once and they asked me, "What's that?"

It's not being rude. It's ignorance.

Okay, a new story:

This year, my high school did Fiddler on the Roof for our spring musical.

We got rave e-mails to my choral director's inbox and she posted them up on the door.

One of them was from our football coach. Moore is the last name of our Tevye.

"Amazing show, Karen! Those kids are extremely talented. You work wonders with them. Keep up the good work.

Coach Gilbert

p.s. Who taught Moore that butt-jiggle dance?"

I about pissed myself when I read that.

Football coaches...

Kevin Cahoon got booed after every performance of CHITTY. I've seen it after a few other shows too. Sometimes at shows where there weren't even any chlidren. People have to learn that the curtain call is the time to cheer for the actor, not boo the bad guy.

mijofly19, they cheered for him at the final performance.

Oh, if I were playing a villain in a show that kids/families go to, I'd be tickled pink to hear booing. Maybe a Morrible/Wizard boo isn't very appropriate, but I'd feel I'd done a completely ****ty job if I were playing the Childcatcher and *didn't* get boos at the end. ^_^

Maybe I've just done panto a few too many times. *shrugs*

That's a little inappropriate to boo Moribble and the Wizard.

Gte pie with him? That's pretty creepy.

Oh, God, I forgot about the pie thing. I saw him, too. What a nut. Patti gave him the dirtiest look I've ever seen.

Yankeefan and I were about ready to kill him. He brought a book bag with him too. I think he had his own human pies in the bag in case someone took him up on his offer...odd man.

Old lady to her husband as they were coming out of Wicked:
"This reminds me of that show we just saw, CATS."

Well this is more something i saw:

Yesterday my friend and I walked past where the Rocky Horror Picture Show is playing here in the west End and it was intermission... well about 40% of the theatre goers, including old, fat, etc people were dressed "in costume", meaning fishnets, make-up the whole nine yards... it was pretty amusing ...lol

Rocky Horror, as you konw, isn't your typical show. With it's cult following, I'd be surprised if there WEREN'T a bunch of people in costume.

And I would LOVE to hear boos as a villain, I imagine it'd actually be sort of the same high as a laugh.

At Les Miserables tour last month:

Before show:
Woman 1: Oh, I'm so excited!
Woman 2: Oh, me too! I've been waiting to see this since it opened on Broadway 4 years ago! It's Andrew Lloyd Webber's newest musical.
Woman 1: Didn't he produce [sic] Cats and Phantom of Oprah? (that's what it sounded like) Oh, and I think he used to be casted as the Wizard on Broadway in Wicked.
Woman 2: Oh, I know! He does everything! I saw him as the wizard on when Wicked came here last year, and oh, he was wonderful!

During Prologue:
Woman 1: I can't believe it! That's Andrew Lloyd Webber right there! (pointing at Valjean [Randal Keith]) Oh, my, he has such a rich voice!
Woman 2: I heard there was no actor who could play the part to satisfy him, so he got the part for himself.
Woman 1: Really? He must be really self-conceited.

Right after One Day More!:
Woman 2: Wow, that was amazing!
Woman 1: I totally agree with you! I'm surprised there's no standing ovation.
Woman 2: Some people think it's rude to give a standing ovation in middle of the performance, so they do it at the end.
Woman 1: Oh, hey! Look! (points at Rent ad in Playbill) They're showing movie of Rent here!
Woman 2: Isn't this theatre a bit too big for movies?
Woman 1: Oh, never mind. It's a live show. It says "Live" on it.
Woman 2: Oh really? I loved Rent! That girl.. um... Kristen Chenoweth, I think, played a lesbian girl and it was really touching.
Woman 1: Oh, I've heard many great things about her!

I had to go to the bathroom, so I left the spot.

It amazes me how people just agree and tries to act like he/she knows as much as the other person...
