I'm going a week from Friday. What should I order?

I have to admit I kinda like the idea of paying $25 for a glass of Prosecco, a "savory offering" and a private bathroom. (Especially the private bathroom part.)

I was just at IT'S ONLY A PLAY and ate some Junior Mints. I'm relieved I wasn't burned as a witch.

Junior Mints are the last reason you should be burned as a witch, Robbie.

When I want dinner theater, I'll go to Chanhassen!

I saw a really good production of Xanadu at Chanhassen!

I can't imagine they're seeing a huge increase of profits from this stupid idea. But they will only give it up when they realize it isn't worth the extra time and effort. I haven't seen a theatre yet that is concerned with complaints about food or beverages in the house when they allow it. At Cripple of Innishmaan, I burst out laughing when they said a Sprite was $10 because they only serve it in an ugly "souvenir" cup.

It absolutely is worth the extra time and effort, if New World Stages is any indication. In a house as big as the Fordwoodsic, I can't imagine. I'm surprised Spider-Man didn't do it--that would've made a lot of sense.

Still hate it.

If I go to the theater and your near me making noise, chewing like a cow, playing with your ice, or letting the candy make noise like maracas every time you swish the box.... I will get violently verbal with you. If it's going to be unpleasant for me... It's going to be worst for you.. This is how I am going to deal with it for now on. F*ck em. F*ck em all!

The number one issue that I have regarding food/snacks at the seats is that it sends the wrong message for those who don't go to the theatre often. That message is that eating at your seat is okay to do.

When you have people selling candy etc up and down the aisles the way one does at a sports game, people are going to think that eating during the show is okay. I was at Les Miserables last night, and despite telling the guy next to me to stop crinkling his bag of M&Ms loudly he told me that he wasn't breaking any rules because they sold to him at intermission. Be that as it may, there's still something called being polite.
