Please don’t let the audience of the NYC production of Be More Chill be like Exit 82

I know it’s just been announced, but please if you see BMC in New York don’t act like a dick. Exit 82 did a wonderful job, but the audience was terrible.

A musical is not a sing a long or a concert. You’re there to see the actors perform the show so don’t sing a long or hum. (Especially during Michael In The Bathroom) Also, don’t say lines along with the actors. They are the ones on stage, not you.

You don’t need to scream when you see your fave actor/character. Yes, you can laugh during the funny parts and cheer a bit but don’t be so loud you can’t hear the actors say their lines.

Don’t be on your phone or talking during the performance. If you’re going to record a boot do it discreetly.

The bottom line is be respectful. This is the actors job and they have to focus. They are giving you this performance, and you need to give them your respect. You don’t want to be the rude person Will Roland tweets about during intermission do you?

I might sound aggressive, but this is just some basic theater etiquette. I love Be More Chill, and the stories of the audience from Exit 82 just made me so sad because people were rude when they had a chance to see BMC live.
