Once I was attending Man of la Mancha. During the death scene, someone's cell phone rang witht he 1812 Overture. The mood definitely wa broken. The only thing saving the performance was the cell phone went off on the Mezzanine. THe cast did not hear it. I checked at the stage door after the performance.
Another time, the woman next to me, when her cell phone rang, answered it and carried on a conversation. She was in an aisle seat. When I complained, she said she had to tell her children where she was and when she would be home. The conversation took at least three monutes.
Most recently I was in a darken theater when the man next to me answered hios blackberry. The light from the panel was very distracting.Thank goodness it was almost intermssion when I complained. Thank goodness he closed the blackberry for the rest of the performance.
