I don’t care if the person sitting next to me in a theater is a White Russian archduke or BLM cell leader. I just want quiet and appropriate behavior in the two or three hours after the curtain goes up.
I’ve been going to legitimate theater, movies, opera, and concerts for over half a century and the standards of decorum have declined steadily for each.
I went to a concert maybe 5 years ago because it had my absolute favorite 20th Century work, the Prokofiev 5th, was on the program.
During the quiet, moody third movement I heard coming from a balcony box a mewling baby. Not crying but just whimpering enough to ruin my concentration. When the concert ended I summoned the house manager and told him it was insane to admit an infant to a concert where tickets ranged in price up to $150. I got a refund.
In this case Boebert by her own admission thought that the people sitting near her wanted to hear her sing along with thee cast. A Broadway show might not share the same standards of decorum as a classical concert but what a nightmare it’d be if everyone in the stalls thought that buying a ticket to their seats made them stars.
