have you ever or have you ever seen anyone walk out of a show? — Page 3

Never walked out on a show. Saw some people walk out of Les Miz though. During Rent, there was an old couple behind me who kept complaining. I don't know why some people who are very conservative walk into a theater without knowing what the show is about. I wished they'd just walked out.

I never have but I almost did walk out of NOTRE DAME DE PARIS in London. Such an AWFUL show!!!

The guy sitting next to me in London in MARY POPPINS didn't come back to see the Act 2. His wife and kids did. I'm sure if he had had an aisle seat he would have left during the Act 1.

Out of all the shows I've seen, I've only walked out of two. One was Rent, the other was this atrocious show called Different Fields off-Broadway. I wanted to walk out of a David Mamet play, The Old Neighborhood, but there was no intermission so I was stuck.

I think as long as you wait until intermission (ie, don't disturb the other patrons), it's perfectly fine to leave. I understand that it might be tough for the actors to see empty seats, but perhaps they're preferable to seats filled with people looking miserable and bored.
