If the performance is great you won't have had any idea that lines were being fed thru an earpiece. There is a real craft in using such a piece. It is very commonly used in commercial industrial films when there is a lot of technical jargon (concerning a new drug or medical procedure, for example). I have also had personal experience in a show where the leading actor used a piece brilliantly. Every line seemed like a fresh thought. The performance won accolades and a Tony Award.

I think I was so embarrassed for Lansbury the two times I saw her being fed lines, I resolved to avoid seeing performances like this ever again. I prefer to remember her--and any actor--in better form.

I will be skipping Misery.

Did you boycott the Wooster Group's "Early Shaker Spirituals"?...;)

So far there is no proof that Willis is using an earpiece. Maybe you should wait for something more than hearsay on which to base your ticket-buying decision.
