So they'll deliver food right to your seat, since God forbid you just sit back and watch a damn show without stuffing your face full of such quiet foods as PRETZELS, CHIPS AND POPCORN.
I think I might not go see this after all now.

"Once you are ready to make your purchase, hold your menu up high and we will come to you"

Posted: 10/7/14 at 2:54pmCan't I just text them mid-show when I want a snack?!

Posted: 10/7/14 at 2:55pmYou should just be able to stand up on your chair and yell out your order.

Posted: 10/7/14 at 2:58pmPeople should just get up and grab a snack when they start playing the Star Spangled Banner.

Posted: 10/7/14 at 2:59pmYikes. Too many people don't know how to behave at at theatre already. Why throw this into the mix?

Posted: 10/7/14 at 2:59pmWhere are all these menus going to be? Are they reducing the legroom to add a menu holder on the back of every seat?

When Montserrat Caballé was in the audience of an opera her husband, tenor Bernabé Martí was performing in, she was known to have a complete chicken dinner with wine during the performance from her seat.
Now we can ALL be divas!!!

Posted: 10/7/14 at 3:04pmI wish I could have had a chicken dinner and wine when I saw THE ANARCHIST.

Posted: 10/7/14 at 3:09pmDamn, I had heard they were experimenting with this but dropped it. I guess not. I don't really understand--is it that hard to leave your seat during intermission to buy candy or a drink? And don't these theatres annoyingly allow you to take them back to your seat anyway?

"Menu items include popcorn, chips, pretzel crisps, nut mix, chocolate bars, chocolate chip cookies, a variety of ice cream as well as various wines, beers and soft drinks."
Is this a nightmare? PLEASE GOD NO!

Posted: 10/7/14 at 3:13pmWhen I saw ON THE TOWN I was shocked when people were bringing back beer and champagne glasses (without tops) back to their seats. Guess they want to make money by any means necessary since no one is paying for the tickets.

Posted: 10/7/14 at 3:22pmThey did similar at New World Stages when I went to see Rent. Okay, there were no menus. And they did only do it before the show and at intermission. So it isn't a new concept. Not that I agree with it.

"...people were bringing back beer and champagne glasses (without tops) back to their seats"
Once you allow ice cream, I guess spilled beverages become a moot point.

It should be pointed out, for those who do not read the article, that this service is only offered during the pre-show and intermission. Not during the show.
Regardless, this is horrific and terrifying. I couldn't believe what I was reading.

Posted: 10/7/14 at 3:28pmIt should be pointed out that nobody was arguing that fact.

Posted: 10/7/14 at 3:30pmWe might as well stop the whole show and have Tony Yazbeck bring us snacks when we're hungry during the show

Posted: 10/7/14 at 3:32pmOf course ice cream has been a staple to eat in your seat in the West End for...ever it seems. It struck me as odd when I first went there, but wasn't too distracting. I'd be more annoyed with someone chomping away at popcorn and pretzels.

Posted: 10/7/14 at 3:32pmThey do this in London already. It was pretty orderly, imo.

Posted: 10/7/14 at 3:33pmThe menus are gone - I guess each seat used to have one. They still do have a vendor in the aisle with assorted things - I don't know what as I didn't look at his wares!
