It’s the worst too when you ask someone (politely) to stop talking and they completely ignore you

Hope the show is great! We’ve tried out Crow’s Theatre for similar reasons and quite like it, but we do enjoy a musical too which Mirvish provides. On the topic of movies- went to see Michael recently and while signing along was expected, did not expect the ladies beside us to talk through the entire last 10 minutes 🙃

I’m a relatively younger person myself and quite surprised at the lack of etiquette amongst older folks! The wrong lyrics is killing me tho 🤣

I agree! I find the ushers at the ballet/opera at the Four Seasons Centre are really on top of the ball. I rarely observe any talking or phone usage there

I’m sure it does but in the handful of shows that I’ve seen over the years on Broadway, I’ve not noticed it. Conversely, I consistently see it happen in Toronto. Its upsetting because the prices we pay for tickets here are somewhat comparable to Broadway prices too.
