Hilarious Comments Overheard By Tourists and Audience Members — Page 74

when i went to the stage door for SOUTH PACIFIC two folks from Boston told Kelli O'Hara that they loved her in "THE SOUND OF MUSIC". i had to remind them that that was Rebecca Luker who was in that role.

then Rebecca Luker came out and they felt dumb!

although Rebecca's family she took to the show had to tell me she wasn't in SOUTH PACIFIC right now when i asked her for her autograph. i wanted moreso to just ask Rebecca why she wasn't at work while SOUTH PACIFIC was going on, but i digress...

I work as an usher and hear some pretty bad things including.

Patron: "which way is the doctors circle?"
Me "where?"
Patron "the Doctor Circle"
Me "you mean the DRESS circle"
Patron "How would I know"

didn't someone get hit with a flute for being obnoxious with food in the first row at Sweeney Todd?

An old lady in back of me at Young Frankenstein:
"You know, Roger Bart is in this. He's the one who always acts like a nelly little queen".
I wanted to slap her.

At a performance of an Evita non-equity tour, between two older ladies:

Woman 1: I thought it was him who died, and she went on to become president.
Woman 2: Well, they probably just interpreted it differently. It is a musical, you know.

I've definitely heard things but I can't remember them anymore.

Although...
When I went to see Hairspray the movie with my mom, about a half hour or more into the movie she whispered, "When is John Travolta coming in?"
Me: He's the mom.
Her: Whatttt? O.O

tee hee hee.

"Woman 1: I thought it was him who died, and she went on to become president.
Woman 2: Well, they probably just interpreted it differently. It is a musical, you know. "

That's actually what my mom said the show's about.

At a "Sunday..." matinée a couple of months ago:

(Dot enters after "Lesson #8 )
Kid on school trip: Oh sh*t!

It wouldn't have been so amusing if I hadn't heard that from the other side of the mezzanine.

After "Xanadu" tonight:

Lady: ...'cause Patti LuPone Gypsy opened after the Xanadu film...

Tonight at Sweeney Todd
50ish year old woman to her husband: You don't think this is going to be morbid, do you?

My mom talking about how annoying she found Galinda during "Popular"(while loving Wicked); "I wanted to smack her!"

Isn't "Boy Jumping" an event at the Gay Games?

I went to see Mamma Mia last night with friends.


At intermission

Suzi: "Holly, you said Meryl Streep was in this! Is she on in the 2nd half?"
Emma [laughing] "She's the one playing the mum, Suzi!"
Me: "Umm...Meryl's in the movie, not the show..."

Yeah...because a) Meryl Streep would really be performing in Mamma Mia in London! and b) I know we weren't front row, but how could she think, for the whole of the first half, that the actress playing Donna was Meryl Streep?! She had a programme and everything!


After the show

Emma: "So..like what is Sophie's name in real life?"
Me: "Umm...I'm not sure. I think the actress' name is Katie Brayben or something. Check the programme."
Emma: "No no, I mean they obviously changed her name to Sophie for the musical...but what's her name in real life?"
Me: "What?"
Emma [getting really frustrated]: "What's her real name?? Donna is the blonde one, right? Agnetha or something... So what's her daughter called in real life?!"
Me: "....it's not the story of the band, Emma! They wrote a random story around the songs!"
Emma: "Oh...oh right."


And this girl is at Oxford...
