While we are on the topic of peeves, it was not until I was reading The Curtain Call Criminals by The Redheaded Actress at The Green Room Blog that I remembered yet another pet peeve of mine. This one extends to concerts, theater and other live events - walking (sometimes running) out of the theater before the performer(s) have had a proper opportunity to bow, acknowledge the orchestra or other performers and officially end the show. Oh, how could I have forgotten this one?
I once went to a jazz event where Esperanza Spalding (before she became a Grammy Best New Artist and Bieber fans went loco loco) was being interviewed. She spoke fondly and passionately about a special connection between an artist and the audience (especially during a performance). Well, the way some audience members hightail it out of NYC theaters, you would never think there was anything special at all about the experience.
Honestly, will an extra 5-10 minutes hurt when you have chosen to invest your time and money into seeing a show?
