I say this with a full, FULL chest… SHUT THE FUCK UP. You miss his first two lines because the audience won’t shut up. I can’t stand it. It’s my biggest bug bear. I’m still bitter about missing Jessie Mueller say “Sugar, Butter, Flour” in 2016 because people wouldn’t shut it.

RIGHT. Theatres. Do announcements, print inserts or have a cast board/several that are big enough to read when someone is on for their cover. It’s a huge personal achievement, & it’s just basic respect. Actors seeing other actors tagged on socials for their work is disheartening

Just read a review: “... who may not have as many West End credits as... holds the show together with a near Herculean-power” YOU CANNOT MEASURE SOMEONE’S TALENT BY THE AMOUNT OF WEST END CREDITS THEY HAVE. It just perpetuates this damaging idea of a hierarchy in theatre

@PabloSanCap I agree that the music is written to be sung. However, my point is that a lot of people care too much about how someone belts a song or their tone or how high they opt up etc. the story is sacrificed for this. Prime example of selling a song is Judi Dench and ‘Send in the Clowns’

If people arrive late to a theatre show, let them in and don't make them feel like they are being a nuisance. Performers/directors/whoever is deciding "latecomer policy", don't be precious. If your show can't cope with some people walking in a bit late then make it so it can.
