The audience, on the other hand -- as Mary knows all too well -- is another story...
Did that woman really HAVE to get up to go to the rest room during the a cappella verse of the LAST SONG in the first act? Did that other person have to make so much noise moving his or her paper bag out of the way for "rest room woman"? Do people have to take FOREVER to unwrap a hard candy? Did the women sitting behind me HAVE to discuss each joke and song right after it happened? Oy!
