Two premium tickets to Pee Wee's Playhouse will cost $420 (with all charges) on Telecharge. Coincidence?
which is worse: stinking like weed or texting in a theater? — Page 10

I am chuckling...This thread came to mind. I am attending the opening of a new theater here in Denver and the show I am seeing tonight is musical called "REEFER MANIA! Denver Goes To Pot - A Pot Opera". I kid you not!
I just posted the announcement on the Denver page:

They're both bad, they're equally worse. You should never smoke and then go into the theater- somebody could be really sensitive to the smell and it leaves a stench in the theater for the performers. And as in texting, I think ANYBODY who texts in the theater should be kicked out. It's distracting and rude. But I give you some kudos for asking if he was a doctor :)

I have sat near people who smoked both pot and cigarettes. In am 800 plus seat theater, I think it is a bit of a stretch to say that it leaves a stench, and I sincerely doubt the performers can smell t onstage.
Now tonight I will be in a 100 seat local theater seeing a show about pot. If a lot of people are high, I am sure we will be able to smell it if they smoke right before going in.

If you are front row, the actors can for sure smell it. If your last row mezz, it's a different story.

Diva, was that for me? Are you in Denver?
Brooklyn, In a big theater I still doubt actors can smell it unless you smoke a lot before you walk in.

Yes, uncageg, that was for you.
No, I'm not in Denver, but I was asked to SM the original production. Can you believe I said no because they could only pay me $25.00 a show?!

What is the show called? Pot: The Musical keeps appearing in LA and I want to see.

I didn't realize it had been done before. This wasn't " Reefer Madness". It was " Reefer Mania". It was pretty much just a string of smoking related old songs sung mostly by one woman. Their were dancers and a stoned man in a recliner.

In the front row of a Broadway house? I doubt that. A lot. I've performed in theatres smaller than a Broadway house and couldn't even smell the perfume or cologne of those people in the front. In fact, I don't think I've ever detected a smell from anyone in the audience when I've been performing. There's a hell of a lot more to be thinking about and focusing on.

"It was " Reefer Mania"."
Whoops!
No copyright infringement there!
And I just got back from seeing “Lenny Bruce Is Back…” and I couldn’t help but think about this thread while I was watching the show. Too bad he was into smack and not weed, but maybe if he had stuck to smoke, he’d still be around!

Oh puhleeze! He said he smoked "a little weed". Unless he was in a closed room with people hitting the bong I doubt the person next to him barely smelled it. I think the person just got pissed off for being called out on using his cell phone.

It warms my heart to see this thread still going.
"I think the person just got pissed off for being called out on using his cell phone."
That is exactly what my BF said - and he was sitting next to me. He had no other defense.
Now, if the guy had commented on my odor before the show began, and was truly upset by it, then I probably would've given up my seats and walked away with my tail between my legs. And I probably would not have posted here.
The guy was a douchebag - he looked like one of the Kardashians - a blazer, blue jean & cowboy boot dude with slicked back, regal hair. And he was about 5 feet tall. Oh - and he had TWO cellphones. The blackberry came out during the show. The iPhone came out after the show. But like I said, once I confronted him - the phone did NOT come out again.
But don't worry, I'm still aware that I'm the "selfish asshole" who smoked the weed in the first place.

I'm no smoker, but I would just say Axe spray, the little shots of them!
I thought it was all a flash in the pan. It wasn't until Broadway came along that I felt I had really made it.

My friend is a smoker and uses personal Fabreze. I was smoking a cigarette in her car on the way to the show last night and she let me use it. Better than Axe, in my opinion.
