Today at "Blackbird" — Page 3

I cannot see personal reusable water bottles that do not make a sound being a problem. I can see people bringing a seven course meal to eat in their seat being a problem Latecomers should not be seated until their is a break in the action. Herding them out in to the street is treating them like cattle. The people who had their water bottles with them when we went were none to comfortable for this over the top action being taken and they vented on the house staff who I felt sorry for. I think a bomb being smuggled in would have been ok just not a water bottle.. Seeing as how it has constantly been on TDF since it opened, I would think old Scotty would be glad people showed up at all instead of antagonizing them.

To me someone hacking away coughing is more distracting than someone having a drink or 2 of water to prevent it.

On one hand, yay for that audience, on the other that really stinks that we were the exception not the rule!



Hi StephieElise and Hello from Brisbane. I was at the Glorious Megan Hiltys' concert the next night and midway[she was very polite ] asked that we have a phone-free performance and pointed to someone in the audience who had just used theirs and mentioned 2 others she had seen. The audience cheered and she remarked how wonderful Melbourne had been the night before with NO camera disturbance.

We the audience are looking at just 1 person-the performer is looking at 1000.

PS...Coming down for The Production Companies 3 shows--can't wait to see Funny Girl with Caroline O'Connor------might see you there.

It's such a quiet and delicate show that any distraction is automatically made 5x more annoying and distracting. Went I went to see Blackbird, the young ladies next to me audibly voiced their disgust one too many times, the couple behind me were eating chips, and the guy in front of me had a very distracting head. I mean, there was nothing he could do about it then I guess, but he had a red, peeling scalp that was in my view throughout the whole play (he was a foot taller than me and leaned forward in his seat the whole time). I definitely feel like it took away from my enjoyment of the production...there were also a few coughers.
