You are confounding two things. I think we can all agree we go to something to see a great performance. But for you to ask and not answer your lead-in question is a leap of logic. How do you give a great performance? Hide and watch. If it is not great, it's not great; if it is great, it is. Damning the performance based on means rather than result seems misguided to me, unless, like the sentiment expressed in some posts, you are passing judgment on something that is really not your concern. Laurette Taylor was so drunk onstage sometimes she walked into the wings and puked. How many of us would not want to see her perform because we don't approve of people working drunk?
