Phantom...

Well, On Saturday, Tyler and Lissy came down and together with Mitch and Angela we all went to Phantom of the Opera! It's put on in a custom built, 40 million dollar theater that is spectacular. Some of the scenes, no, MOST of the scenes I didn't remember from the movies I've seen, like the drunken make out scene below:
Yeah, didn't remember that one in the movies I've seen. OH maybe because scenes of drunk people making out AREN'T IN THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA! It's just the nasty trashy people we sat behind. RIGHT behind. This couple starts making out before the play even starts. We let it go because we were sure they would stop once it began. We were wrong. They made out for at least half of the show. And not just any making out, full on, tonsil hockey making out. In between the making out they would laugh at inappropriate times (loud, raucous, drunken laughter, by the way) and in between the laughter, he would either stare at her intently until she would kiss him or nuzzle her breasts. That's right, nuzzle her breasts. And in between the chest nuzzling they would cat call to the people on stage. So Zach and I were desperately trying to hear the Phantom, but it went something like this: "Kristine, my angel of --SLURP! Sing! Sing-- HA HA HA HA HA! Is there, the Phantom of the--WOOOOOOO! YEAH!!!! slurp...." The first half of the show, we kept thinking they would stop. But they didn't. There is no intermission at this production. So after about 45 minutes of this, Zach taps the guy on the shoulder and says, "Please be quiet." They ignored him, so he asks again and also says, "We didn't pay money to watch you make out." That worked for about 15 minutes before they started up again. These people were sloshed and had sneaked in alcohol so that they could get even more sloshed. They were in their late 40's and we assume they were having an affair and that is why they had to make out in the theater. Anyway, they started up again and I was soooo angry, I was seeing stars. I couldn't listen to the play, I couldn't see the play, all I could see were these people! and then it was over. I don't think I have ever been so mad. We started walking out, but I had to say something. One thing bad about nursing is that I have become very bold about confrontation. People were leaving but they just sat in their seats looking drunk and lustful. I went up to them and poked them on the shoulder. Then I started yelling at them! I couldn't believe I was doing it! People around me stopped and stared, like "What's going on?" I said, "You two owe me $250. I just paid money to watch you make out for an hour and a half. You owe me $250 and your ruined our night. YOU RUINED OUR NIGHT!!!" They just looked at me with half opened wasted eyes and said, "Huh? What? Ohh... Ssssorry." I was so mad I was shaking. So Zach called and complained and we got 2 free tickets and will be going again on March 29th. Yay!!! So I will post again and tell you how great the show was in a couple of weeks.
