I don't agree.

I think audiences routinely give standing ovations to shows they don't like. And they recommend them to their friends.

Now if they were laughing, that's another matter. I saw FINDING NEVERLAND with an audience at ART that was incredibly enthusiastic: I didn't quite get what they liked about it but I couldn't deny they seemed to be digging it.

The crowd at IT'S ONLY A PLAY were not nearly so vocal and responded mostly to the lines and choices that were underlined and highlight mercilessly. Like the actor at curtain call who lifts his arms and gives an audience the cue to stand.
