I'm not gonna lie. I'm 18 but I AM going to scream because I can. Everyone has a different way to enjoy something.
You can block screaming out.
I'm bringing my crazy friends with me. Were ALL going to scream! My one friend even wants to start a wave lol
RENT is a powerful and fun show and I'll be damned if your going to tell me what I can an Can't do.
I paid for my seat just like everyone else did.

So I can bring an airhorn to the theater to "show my appreciation"? I paid for my seat, too!

Yeah, and the people who paid and wish to enjoy the show without you and your friends' obnoxious interruptions are entitled to that, too. Are crazy, screaming, inconsiderate brats like you more entitled to what you want than those people? Their wanting you to keep your mouths shut doesn't interfere with your enjoyment of the show. You simply think it does. Your behavior DOES interfere with others' enjoyment of the show. Show your appreciation at the appropriate time, like applause break and bows. Everybody else can.
You can block screaming out.

dear @sshole--
there are other columnists who have remarked on the Beyonce dubbing issue.
take the attitude out of your f*ggot @ss and try to grow up in 2009
Can this be considered elder abuse, since she's so old?

I've been to a performance of RENT where nobody cheered and it was pathetic. No energy from the audience. No energy from the cast.
I know this is unpopular, but I think a rock musical is just a different animal from your typical show. I don't think that RENT and South Pacific are supposed to elicit the same responses.
It's a lively, energetic rock show. Treat it like one.
.....
That said, there's a difference between cheering/"wooing" and shrill, N*SYNC concert screeches. A big difference.

gobstopper, if you think that that makes it fine to shout, scream, wave signs, etc., you are sorely mistaken. The cast doesn't appreciate it and, obviously, neither will the audience members around you. There are appropriate ways to cheer the show, at the expected times, and you should know this, and not be advocating anything more, certainly not the behavior being mentioned by others in this thread.

lol Oh dear god! No! That's not what I meant! That would be appalling.
I meant at the end or beginning of songs. Not during.
And no signs, for the love of all that's holy.
P.S. I once heard about some a-hole who would hold up every item mentioned during a song. Like in Today 4 U when they sang "Bustello, Marlboro, bananas by the bunch..." the kid would hold up each object and like wave it around.
That kid reportedly got smacked in the head and stopped.

I'd certianly punch anyone in the face who was screaming and waving signs thoughout the show.
Don't blame the audience about the cats lack of energy. It's up to them to make it.

I disagree. It's like any job. Who you're working with changes how you do it.
At any rate, I would like to share how much I HATE it when people scream over the high C in "Seasons." That is so annoying.

on the subject of screaming, while I don't do it personally I don't mind it at certain points of the show. Specifically the robe drop in Out Tonight. However if its continuous you really should be killed, or at least removed from the theater like crying children are.

I think the significant change will be that the cast will wear the costumes from the original Broadway production of CATS. And they will replace Seasons of Love with "Jellicle Songs For Jellicle Cats." Maureen can keep her cat suit, though.

Maybe they can build "screaming rooms" in theaters like they have crying rooms in churches for babies. Then all the screaming twits could be locked inside and enjoy the show while screaming.

When people scream over the high C, that's when I punch them in the face. One of the times I saw the show this summer, there were these girls in the front mezz who sand WITH Gwen for the high note, and then one screamed "Good Cheno Note!!!!". I was gonna slit my wrists.
I don't mind the screaming during the first chords of Out Tonight, though.

"Good cheno-note!" LOL. I don't know why that's so funny!!
And for some odd reason the cast combusted and reappeared singing about "Jellicle" things, I would go hunt down Andrew Lloyd Webber and punch him in the face.

With that said. Maybe they can build a room for people like you? I heard people say Adam and Anthony are to old to be playing struggling boho's don't ya think your a tad bit old to watch them?
People scream like there at a rock concert because they are having a good time!
They scream you bitch and if they fell asleep you would bitch
I'm sure the cast would much rather the audience awake and enjoying themselves then snoring during La Vie Boheme!

I (have) heard people say Adam and Anthony are to old to be playing struggling boho(No apostrophe)s don't y(ou) think you('RE) a tad bit old to watch them?
Adam & Anthony are too old. 38 year olds shouldn't be playing 20 year olds, especially when they don't even LOOK 20.
Maybe they can build a room for people like you. (Not a question)
They do, it's called a theatre.
People scream like the(y're) at a rock concert because they are having a good time!
But it's NOT a Rock concert.

It's pretty hard to sleep through RENT in general.

I feel like age is irrelevant in the theatre-- after all, the great Sarah Bernhardt could play a young boy when she was in her eighties-- as long as the performers are good actors. It's the suspension of disbelief, like having characters of different races playing biological family members. I know absolutely nothing about Rent, so I can't say anything about how good the performers are, but I wouldn't say someone was 'too old' for a role.
I do have to say, though, are cheering during a performance and being asleep during a performance the only options? I've rarely seen anyone do either at any of the shows I've been to. (Except for my brother, who comes to every show I'm in and always falls asleep during the first five minutes.)
