It's not the first time when I been to a performance filled with lots of children... the recent ones include the Nutcracker (in December) and Auto-auto - the Smashing Car Symphony (in June). Well, when the performance appeals to children... who else do we expect to dominate the audience? Nevertheless, none of my experiences is worse off than the recent one at The Cinderella.
It's the kid's behaviour that's disturbing? Yes and No... it started off with the kids! Of course! Who else will whine and threw tantrums in the middle of the show - so distinctively heard, apart from the singing! Using the newly bought 'Rat' to disturb the audience sat in front and beside him? Ill-mannered kids! That's the impression we immediately conceived. This started before the intermission.
Well, well... think about it... the kid not fully to be blamed... who would expect a look-like 3-year kid to be patient enough to sit through the whole entire show? It's singing and dancing... there wasn't much puppets or any cartoons at all? OK, except the two "talking" rats and the transformation of the pumpkin to carriage scene!
So, who's fault? The adult! The mother who refused to bring the kid out till the show almost ended, despite there were occasion calls for her to "bring him out!" from the row just in front.
Well, basically, audience here are very tolerant? Hm... yes, extremely tolerant to such inconsiderate behaviour... hm... very polite too... On the other hand, back to that mother... Didn't she has the commonsense and basic courtesy? She's not the only one who paid for $153 for that one ticket! Everybody in the audience were entitled to that space and comfort to enjoy the show!
Let's pray hard... hope that I'll not hear "cat cries" in April!
