I'm just going to say that I was sitting next to this...incident Friday night. And I will also say that I'm not against getting a little rowdy at Wedding Singer, one of my favorite "fun" shows.
And I'm all for having a good time but... it was miserable. Loud cheering at the end of songs? GREAT! Laughing, clapping? GREAT! Screaming at a dog whistle pitch while the cast is in the middle of a number and yelling out their names to try to get their attention? Not so great.
I may never hear out of my right ear again and it was like seeing two "Lindas" during "Let Me Come Home" since the one dressed as Linda next to me had to use our seat space to get the "boomerang" hand motions done correctly. Good thing she knew the scene so well because she never once looked at the stage, because that would have required her not to headbang in the right direction. They were giving their own performance, constantly hooting at the cast and just HOPING the cast would appreciate their performance.
The problem? It's the CAST who is supposed to be doing a performance and you're supposed to watch them, not the other way around.
I've paid to see Felicia Finley do this, not a 15 year old dressed like a hooker and shrieking in my ear.
I've seen LOTS of rowdy audiences at wedding singer, but those girls were the ONLY ones who effectively managed to ruin the experience for everyone around them. And half the cast too, the looks on their faces onstage... they got "noticed" alright, just maybe not in the "wow isn't that great" way...
Now what would you say if today I started over?
Without a thing but this taped together four leaf clover
And I'll pretend like everything is already alright
And I'll run toward the sun till the castle's out of sight
