How do you feel about theatre-goers who rush the same show constantly? — Page 3

When I rushed Bonnie & Clyde years ago, I met two girls who had seen the show multiple times. They told me, often twice in the same week. They spoke about Laura and Jeremy like they were the best of friends. After the show, at stagedoor, I ended up next to them again. When I was making small talk with Laura and Jeremy, they were both visibly upset with me. I assumed because I was taking away from '"their time". Again, if you have the time and money, see a show as many times as you want. Thinking you are the best of friends with the actors, is another issue all together.

I've said this before, but it genuinely is possible to become friends with an actor. However, it's never something that you should try to make happen, or force. If it ever happens, great! If not, then congratulations, you're like the majority of show fandoms.

Also, for those who brag about being "friends" with an actor, a true friendship isn't something you should ever have to brag about. Just saying...

I really don't care, it is none of my business and they are not hurting anybody.

As long as they are respectful to the cast, crew and fellow patrons, people can watch the same show 8 times a week, do it and have a ball. I wouldn't do that, but whatever makes you happy.

The exceptions are the people who get obsessed with a certain actor or certain companies like that strange stalker at SpongeBob who had friends chase Ethan Slater down the street, tried to stream the show live, called cast members names on social media, etc. She clearly was not well and clearly her parents were not aware of her activities.

I don't feel any way about them? Except to think they are missing so many other good shows...

Yeah hi I'm "the girl." It's so funny to me that you're so jealous of me that you went out of you way to make an entire thread to spread lies about me. I'll go through and point out every lie. (This is a bulleted list but when I posted it the text showed up as bold. Oh well.)

• I haven't seen the show "over twenty times."
• I do not rush "at least once a week." You can only rush once a week. I alternate Wednesday rush with a friend, who has seen the show almost as many times as I have. I wake up obscenely early and wait outside for hours, just like everybody else in the rush line. If other people want a rush ticket, they have to do the same.
• I have won the lottery ONCE. It was on this past Saturday, and I gave my second ticket to a kid I had just met so he could also see the show.
• I do my best to see understudies when they go on, because that is exciting and fun for me. It's important to me to support understudies.
• I am certainly under no delusion that I'm friends with the cast. I always make sure to emphasize that while I am on friendly terms with some, I don't believe that we are actually friends. I do not regularly send them gifts. I have never in my life claimed to be friends with the cast.
• I have sent one (1) gift. It was to Nikhil for his principal debut, because he is always so kind to me. It wasn't even an Edible Arrangement? Not sure where you got that idea.
• I do not brag about how many times I've seen the show or how familiar I am with it. I'm actually uncomfortable telling people how many times I've seen the show because I fear responses like this. I answer questions if people ask.
• You think my behavior is creepy? Imagine finding an entire thread dedicated to you by a complete stranger who seems to think they know everything about you.

I work two jobs so I can afford to see shows. Mean Girls makes me really happy. I've met a lot of friends though it, and I'm really grateful that I'm able to see it. Why are you so hell-bent on shaming people for what makes them happy? You're right that there's nothing that can be done about this. Stay mad.

... I thought the OP did a decent job at retaining your anonymity, but hey, up to you if you out yourself.

When did I say anything about anonymity? However, the fact that multiple people on this thread know exactly who it's about (and I have people sending this thread to me because they can tell it's about me) is very telling. I'm concerned that a complete stranger on the Internet is spreading blatant lies about me, whether they included my personal information or not.

Not to change the subject......

a "rush" that's available in advance at the theatre and online, so it's not really a rush, just an age-restricted discount code?

Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't get why this is even a question..It's not like she's hurting anyone. It's her money, isn't it? lol

This seems like some fandom spat that got carried over from Tumblr.

Yeah honestly what it sounds like to me is someone who follows me on Tumblr who couldn't contain their jealousy and decided to post it here for validation where they thought I wouldn't see it."

This thread probably isn’t going the way the OP wanted it, because some people here are older and more reasonable, I actually respect you. It’s dedication and it just means that you have drive, and are passionate for the things you love. This will probably help you later in life. There is absolutely nothing wrong here, because your behavior is very polite and you are breaking no rules. Shame on the OP for shaming you on an anonymous forum and making up things. The mods need to remove or lock this thread.

I have my own life to be concerned about so I can't say I give it a lot of thought.
