The wave does not belong in the theater! — Page 5

BSo, but they didn't do it during the show? It didn't affect the audience during the show? You don't pay for the 30 minutes in theatre before the show starts. You pay for the performance, and if as long as no is doing somthing to affect the performance or the audiences experience during or enjoyment of the show, then there isn't a problem. Like I said, the audience is free to sing a little song, or fart the national as long as they don't do it during the show. Is classless? yes, it crude? Certainly, but it's not something to get bent out of shape over.


ETA Liotte, i'm sorry you found it ofennsive and i'm sorry you lost family during the holocaust, but I'm not sorry for what I said. I'm not sorry I offended you, because really, if I had to worry about all the people in my life who found something I said offensive, well, then at the ripe old age of 21, I'd already have an ulcer, and probably unhealthily high blood preasure.

I have actually sat next to someoen who farted through all of Act 1 of the show. Fortunately he left during intermission.

Anyway, I thought ths thread was going to be about a musical version of "THE WAVE" to open in theatres.

Imagine that!

exactly dream, it was in teh vein of Soup Nazi which i don't remember causing any sort of uproar.

ZONEACE, I have sat next to plenty of kids (and adults) who sing along during shows, and I ask them to please stop, since I came to see the actors sing, not the audience.
And maybe since you offend so many people, you should try to start being a nicer person. From the way you have posted on this thread, you've got a long way to go. Add that to the list next to "How to behave in a theater".

And the Soup Nazi? Do I know who that is and what he has to do with this?

My life is actually not that bad, while i tend to bitch about it a lot, it's pretty peaceful. So, there's no need to feel sorry.

and popular, it wasn't an apology, so, it probably seemed pathetic for one.

Zoneace - the more you post, the less respect you are getting.

WHAT are you trying to get out of, not only criticizing Liotte, but saying you don't feel sorry for people you offend?

it's a Seinfeld reference Liotte. In several (i think it was more than one) there was a character, called the Soup Nazi, based on a real man, in a real soup shop in NYC. He was very strict about the customers and if they didn't follow exactly what he said, he would kick them out of the soup shop, and ban them from it.


and Liotte, singing during the performance should be stopped, because it interferes with the performance, but doing the wave BEFORE the show, doesnt so, it's not really an issue.

Thank you for clarifying. You should not assume that everyone knows Seinfeld and that you are using that as your basis for the word NAZI.

And you are saying that anything goes before a show? Technically, my ticket said the show started at 8. The wave was happening from about 8 to 8:05. The show started a few minutes late, as most shows usually do. So this time was time that I had paid for. Does that give me a right to complain?

not to mention, like the whole "yadda yadda yadda," seinfeld references have stayed in dialect for a surprisingly long time.

I happen to be Jewish.
I happen to know Seinfeld.
I happen to know the Soup Nazi.

I still found it offensive.
Maybe it is my sense of humor.

Maybe because you just aren't funny.
Maybe because it came across as an insult...not a joke.
(I'm still not sure it was a joke.)

"Does that give me a right to complain?"


yeah, but complain to the people who did it. Tell them you thought it was annoying, and dumb, and rude. No one else here was affected by it.

Liotte, answer me this honestly, did the wave affect your enjoyment or experience of The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee on Saturday, April 8th, 2006?


ETA: I haven't seen Tarzan, and probably won't, I'm not big on the whole Disney Live Action thing, I saw BatB on tour in Atlanta a number years ago, and it was cute, but really, it's not for me. Although, I'm interested in Marry Poppins, cause from what I've heard it has some variation from the movie in its tone.
