Hilarious Comments Overheard By Tourists and Audience Members — Page 31

While I was on the phone talking to my mom and asking what shows she wanted to see:

Me: Well, Haylie Duff is in Hairspray (She knows who she is because she loves Napolean Dynamite)
Her: Really? Wow. She must have to wear a fat sute then right?
Me:......

This was overheard at my boyfriend's house, actually. We had just seen the final tour show of Les Mis in St. Louis and his parents were telling his aunt and uncle what the show was about.

Dad: It's about the French Revolution.
Mom: And a cripple.
Dad: But the main character is this little girl, this waif. That's why she's on the logo.
Aunt: Oh, yeah, we saw that a couple years ago. It was awful.
Uncle: Yeah, some guy saved another person's life. He was trapped under something really heavy, I can't remember what it was. Liam Neason was pretty good, though.

When I saw Drowsy, at the curtain call, when the Aviatrix came out, this really annoying girl sitting beside me screams, "I LOVE YOUR SHOES!!" And when we went to the stagedoor, and when Kecia Lewis-Evans came out, that girl started freaking out, screaming, "Yeah, I loved your shoes." And Kecia was just like, "Yea...I heard you!" If only wou could have seen it when Sutton Foster came out...that made me never want to go to another stagedoor again.

this further confirms my feelings about tourists and how i hate them.

Because, of course, no native New Yorker would ever act like a moron.

Well, she was close.
Kind of.

"I mean, who is that stupid?"

Apparently, that dippy girl.

"High school girl: Um, excuse me, Frenchie? Can I get a picture with you?
Frenchie Davis: I'm sorry, I simply don't have time for this tonight. [Starts to walk away]
High school girl: Please? It's my birthday.
Frenchie, over her shoulder: Sweetheart, it's always someone's birthday. You are going to have to do better than that.

--Outside the Nederlander Theatre, W 41st St "

Where was this girl aproaching(sp?) Frenchie?

gosh i'm dumb.

Not in the city but still hilarious...I was in my school play and I played a paralyzed girl in a wheelchair. We also gave a preformance for my grade one o fthe days. So when i stood up for my curtain call (cause i'm not really paralyzed) some girl (who I had a class with) turns to my friend and goes "Wait she doesn't really use a wheel chair?" Um yeah...

Gosh, those people were annoying.

At The Wedding singer last Wednesday, this guy, about 10 minutes into the show goes "That's not Amy Spanger! That's her understudy CARLA Cooper!"


Same day, standing on the bathroom line at intermission (for anyone who's been to the hirschfeld, you know the ladies room is downstairs), and I was almost by the merch stand. This woman walked in front of everyone on the damn line, repeating "I'm going in front of you because I have to throw up." When she finally got to the head of the line, she did no such thing. She stood and waited once she was close enough to the front.

Same show, but during previews:

I don't know what happene,d but I was sitting in the fornt row and I heard one of the guys in the pit go "Oh f*ck" out of nowhere.

I'll field that. They were asking Candyl, myself, and the poster in front of us for our autographs because we seemed knowledgable theater-goers from Long Island (though the poster in front of us was from Tenn.). I respectfully declined, but the other two were very eager to sign (and rightfully so). They insisted on taking our picture afterwards...

Walking past the Viacom studios, where all the teens are standing outside preparing for TRL, in the middle of the afternoon, mind you, a man turns to his family and says:

"Oh look, this must be where they film The Today Show"
