A Chorus Line last night, man next to me had brought a whole snack bar with him. Nuts, jelly sweets, crisps, a flask of coffee, and 4 share size packets of M&Ms - and I kid you not, in the 2hrs show duration, he ate all four packs himself, eating handfuls at a time, sometimes pouring the content into his mouth. Quite extraordinary and extremely distracting.

For some reason the woman sitting next to me last night at Kiss Me Kate decided to take her shoes off. Not bad behaviour as such, but bloody weird sitting in your socks in the front row. She put them back on during the interval - trainers 🤣. I've seen that before at a stream from a theatre to the cinema. Took her shoes and socks off. Put bare feet high up the chair in front of her. Opened a tray of sushi.

He could at least have themed it in with packets of Walkers 'Sensations' - popping a singular Sensation mini poppadom, oriental cracker, or handful of nut mix into his gob each time they hollered "one".

Tonight at Blood Brothers at the Winter Gardens Blackpool, the young lady next to me came back after the interval with a Slushie. So in a plastic cup with a straw.
Now there are plenty of louder moments in Blood Brothers where you can take a sip. Unfortunately this young lady decided to take a big slurp during all the quiet bits.

Interestingly, I went to a very fun and wild live podcast show last night and the behaviour was genuinely better than most west end audiences.

But if it is... Tell me it's not blue.

I may not know the show as well as you (not quite double digits) but I can imagine this. "He's your brother" [sluuuuuurp]

Now give me me tablets...I need them.' SLUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURP!

Just been to see John Bishop at the Bloomsbury Theatre: before the show started I could see that the halfwit sat next to me in the third row had his phone switched on and the camera aimed at the stage, and was obviously planning on recording the whole show (I was picturing having to tell him to switch it off at some point)until just before Bishop started his set with a slide show that culminated in the message ‘no photos, no videos, don’t be a Tw*t!’ After everyone round him laughed at this, he sheepishly put the phone away and seemed lost after that: quality 🤣🤣🤣

The problem is you have to hit the producers over the head most of the time in order for them to allow an announcement like that.

Although I don't agree to the obligatory standing ovation for some old crap just because everyone else is standing I do find it odd and perhaps a bit rude to the performers when members of the audience do not clap.When I saw Two Strangers the couple sitting next to me "sat on their hands" throughout the performance and even at the curtain call.Listening to them at the interval it wasn't because they weren't enjoying the show and stayed to the end but it just didn't enter their heads to applaude (thank) the artists by clapping and showing their appreciation.
