| and sorry you never experienced such ecstasy in the theater! I'm a musical director and pit musician in regional theatre. I experience such ecstasy very often, as I'm always thrilled to have a place to share and create my art and to collaborate with other wonderful performers. Yes, I get tired as much as any performer does, but it is always a joy and a privilege to get to perform. That's my form of ecstacy, and it happens all the time. I didn't call anyone idiotic. (You did.) ;-) I'm glad you enjoyed the show. And your unobstructed view of row AA in the back of the orchestra. ;-) |

| It was an event. Since neither of us were there we can't have an accurate count of how many stood, how many sat, how many hovered. I was at Bette's (supposed to be) final performance and everyone within eyesight stood. One is obliged to stand even if one doesn't feel the urge because if you are seated you will be watching someone's backside while Hello Dolly is being sung. And I don't think it's hyperbole to say that was the grumpiest post of the day. Even with the ;-) | |

Having not read every post today, I can't agree or disagree. But we live in a very grumpy time, I suppose. My apologies if I get caught in that. Anyone who knows me out here knows I can be sharp but I rarely try to be grumpy. Maybe tomorrow will be better. |

| I'm constantly trying not to be "Grumpy Old Man" (at least not Walter Matthau grumpy). Anyway, quite a few people stood today at Carmen Jones, even me. It was for a fine performance. But, Jeez, those clunky lyrics! |

| I agree. Not Hammerstein's best - but kind of "guilty pleasure" writing in a way. Thank you for changing the subject, sorta, |
