Totally agree...that makes me mad as hell too!madashell wrote:One thing that annoyed me at several BETM performances was when people were "too cool" to to give a standing ovation after seeing a spectacular performance by a kid who was obviously giving his all. This was no time to be reserved with only polite applause. Some theater-goers were too jaded and forgot how important praise is a needed reward for kid's hard work.
Here is what I did not like...
1. The approximately 400lb guy sitting next to me in SF. Let's face it the seats just aren't big enough.
2. The couple who sat next to me in LA who arrived 30 minutes late and had their three year old son with them. What are you thinking people? A three year old can't sit still in a show that long. Sure enough the people sitting in front of them had to move because the kid couldn't sit still and everyone around them were constantly giving them dirty looks. I was okay because I've seen the show so many times but use some common sense.
3. Driving from SF to LA (6 to 7 hours) to see Ty perform but he only made it through the first half of the show. That really sucked. When they made the announcement during the intermission that Ty would be replaced by JP, I blurted out, "Oh $#!)" the guy next to me gave me a puzzled look, I didn't even bother telling him about my journey to see another Billy. Luckily I was able to catch Ty again, a truly amazing Billy!
4. The guy sitting in front of me who spiked his hair, leave it flat next time, I want to see the stage not your spiked hair!
