Attention! Attention!

To the older sir sitting next to Big Sis in the theatre: Even though you know all the songs by heart from those days when you were young (it must be over a century ago), when you sing along, do it quietly. Or lip synch. Or get yourself a hearing aid, so you can whisper when you're explaining to your wife what's happening on stage.

I hate it when people do that at the theatre. Back when I was still in school I saw a production of Faust and there was a guy behind me who recited all the famous lines along with the title character. Very annoying.

The funniest thing though was one of my ditzier classmates wondering why they'd painted a microphone on Mephisto's belly. (It was a rather uninspired and rather obvious hint at his virility. Explaining it to her was a blast.)

Oh man, that's even more annoying. Although the centre of the play was sing-a-long and coming together etc. people don't expect you to actualy do that. They did ask the audience to stand up during the national hymn. So the Flemish nationalist character could yell at them to sit down. *g*
