Mooing in theatres — Page 2

Both time I went we took a vote before the movie. The first time we oked mooing and people did. The second time there was a huge chorus of NO so no one mooed

LOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

MOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Billboard Girl you must not go to many concerts, because people NEVER stop screaming during concerts, no matter what the song. Which, yes, I agree, sucks during the slow songs, but it happens.

I would hope that whoever you saw could sing OVER the screaming. If not, you didn't get your money's worth lol."

I've gone to 6 concerts this year, and at 5 of them people kept screaming through the entire performance. The performers were more than able to sing over it, but it still annoyed me and detracted from the experience. It's one thing to scream and cheer during an uptempo song, but for ballads, just shut up until the song is over.

I don't mean to sound like a killjoy, and I understand that Over The Moon isn't exactly a ballad, but I know that when I see the movie I want to be able to focus on the movie and not the actions of other people in the audience. Moo to your heart's content when you're watching it on DVD next year.

He'll be mooing down under - not to worry, you'll hardly hear him in NYC.

My goodness. You're all douches.

True, in the show it's an audience participation part. In the movie, Maureen will be talking to her on-screen hobo audience, but if people want to moo (for an entire 5 SECONDS!!!!!!!!!), let them.

Don't tell me none of you screamed like 10 year old girls when Harry took off his shirt in the new movie. Even more disturbing. NOT expected. Harry didn't ask you to scream, like Maureen does. And guess what... no one in MY theatre seemed to give a hoot.

If the people want to moo, so be it.

You know it's coming. If you see RENTheads dressed up at the theatre, plug your ears at the end of OTM.

It's OK people... it's JUST mooing!!!!!

When I saw it this evening, I was really surprised that no one mooed. It was a pretty big theater, so maybe I just missed it. I thought for sure that people would be mooing like crazy, especially since they were clapping after almost every song and cheering periodically. I don't talk/cheer during movies, but if you want to moo, then moo. I don't see how that would be as disruptive as talking, or even clapping. (As long as it doesn't carry over into the dialog, which it shouldn't, unless you're mooing for quite a while.) Have fun!

There was definite moo-age at the Ziedfeld midnight show tonight.

I just heard the song and I was thinking: "would people "moo"?" I guess so.

I don't understand the point of mooing at a movie screen. In the stage version, you are Maureen's audience. In the movie, she has her very own homeless audience. There is no need to participate. Besides, if you moo, you may miss that final terrific moo. It's the highlight of the score!

Obviously you have to be a fan to know what you mean by this, but when I saw Phantom some people thought it was a sing along. I wanted to tell them to shut the hell up. I just gave them a dirty look.

So, someone mooing during Over The Moon would ruin your movie experience? Have any of you even SEEN the broadway version? If so, I imagine you leave the theater at the end of Christmas Bells and then come back in time for La Vie Boheme, so as the audience participation doesn't ruin your theater experience as well.

Go to the Nederlander if you want to Moo. You'll just look like an ass if you do it in the movie theater.
