Planning a BWAY (NYC) trip ??? DON'T do these things! — Page 4

I had the running commentary thing happen when I saw August. There were two elderly gentlemen behind me and I guess one of them was hard of hearing because the other explained everything that was going on to him throughout the entire show.

DON'T Stomp your foot or clap "off rythmn" if you HAVE NO RYTHMN!

Don't do as my Mom did her first time visiting me in NYC. Keep in mind homeless or drunk people urinating in public are NOT things to point out and photograph to show the girls back home. Specially if you are only 10 feet away from them!

Don't assume that both arm rests are yours in the theatre seat. If you are small and the person next to you is larger, lean on the other arm rest.

If putting your arm around your loved one during the performance only to find another person's arm already around their loved one, do not rub your hand against their hand.

If you choose to stage door with your kiddies (less than 12 years old), don't let them continuously push in front of other people that are stage dooring. They may be cute to you but are INCREDIBLY annoying to those who have been waiting just as long as they have. Back off girl scouts or your ass will be flat against the theatre exterior walls.

Do NOT scream to your children "Oh honey, you're standing next to a movie star" when they meet actors at the stage door. FYI - they're currently working on a stage not a screen.

Do NOT text your friends, relatives, acquaintances, or ANYONE during a performance. Additionally, constantly checking to see if anyone has chosen to say that you are their BFF during the show is ridiculous or that Miley Cyrus' new song is your favorite new song. Imagine a world without your cell phone - yes it can be done - and SHOULD be done for the 2 and a half hours you spent $125 to see "In The Heights" for.

DO get free refills at the major chain restaurants. If you are tired and thirsty and wanting only a drink, don't waste your time at Sally's Sandwich shop paying $2.50 for a 16oz. bottle of soda. Go to the nearest chain restaurant and order a refillable 20 oz. glass for $2.50. You don't have to eat there (OG - yuck) but you can certainly get more for your thirst.

oh, you're wlecome, BwayBabe! Enjoy! (your PM doesn't work)

I've been absent from BWW for a bit and this was one of the first threads I came across. I am currently laughing my ass off. I have nothing to add because what everyone has said so far is so brilliant and so true about NYC/TS etc. FABULOUS! :)

Women:
In Sephora Times Square, for G-d's sakes, don't use the "tester" lipsticks on you LIPS (they're for your wrists, darlings..) Can you imagine 525,600 women using the same lipstick? Eeewww.
It's downright disgusting and unhygenic, as well as mascara-ing your lashes, and dipping your dirty hands in all the eye shadows and foundations.. Again, Eeeww. They have tissues, and disposable brushes for testing! (Yes, NY neurotic)
