| remark like that was a play long ago, The End of the World (or something like that) starring John Shea and Linda Hunt. It had to be one of the worst things I ever sat through. At one point the Linda Hunt character says "this is just awful" and a guy shouts out "it sure is!" I felt sorry for the cast, but that produced spasms of laughter from the audience and was the only entertaining moment that evening. Jim | |

| I believe it was at a play called Saturn Returns, or Saturn Rising, something like that, at the Mitzi Newhouse about 5 years ago. The theater is very small and you could hear anything if someone said it... in the most dramatic and intense part of the play, an elderly man whose seat was facing where the action in this scene was, he just says out loud to the actress, who is 5 feet from him, "you're a lousy actress." (I think he was wrong) | |

| I think the same woman showed up at the Beaumont(maybe an LCT member!) who waited for a quite moment near the end to announce, "I don't like this show!". | |

| At a regional theater local to me, in a production of Wendy Wasserstein's Old Money... During a quiet moment in act 2, an older woman in the front row turned to (who I presume was) her husband and said "THIS IS TEDIOUS." They were both wearing infrared hearing devices, so she spoke quite loudly - no way she wasn't heard by everyone in the relatively small (425 seat) space. Including everyone on stage, of course. | |

| That's sadly not uncommon, old people who don't know or care how loud they are being if making a comment to their companion. But what was so incredibly bad about the man I mentioned was he was speaking directly to the actress, not to a companion. | |

| The worst (best?) audience participation I've ever heard of was during a performance of Cabaret on Broadway in the late 90s. At the end of Act I, an older woman stood up and yelled "LIES! ALL LIES!" in a thick German accent and left the theater. | |

| FWIW, I'd have been interested in hearing her specific objections. "Lies" is a very vague comment. | |
