Yep! And there always seems to be one little kid who gets really nervous and then either stands there dumstruck or starts crying...

Actually the worst experience I had this season was at my son's Christmas show, where the children were stars but the people sitting behind me were quite unbelievable....
1. - Rudolph (girl dressed in brown leotard, brown tights, red pompom nose and impressive antlers) launches into a speech to Santa about how the presents all need to be delivered. After about 5 minutes, voice behind me says "I think that girl's supposed to be a reindeer".
2. - At the end of the show the headmaster calls out the winning programme number (for the £10 voucher for the local butchers). A Grannie wins it....but she's sitting with her daughter and son-in-law. Voice behind me "EEEH that's SOOOOOOOO unfair - I thought it was only 2 tickets per family - and they're 3 of them. It shouldn't be allowed"
3. Headmaster explains that ALL of KS2 classes are going by coach to see a panto. There will be 6 coaches - 2 for year3, 2 for year 4 and 2 for year 5. Pupils in Year 6 will be divided between the 6 coaches, to make up numbers and look after the little ones. Voice behind me "Well how Stupid is THAT! How I am going to find Shane if I don't know what coach he's on? Honestly, you'd think they could make it easier!"
And all through the performance I was treated to a torrent of similar comments!
Some parents should be shot at birth!!!

Its always the other people in the audience that cause the problem.
I went to see a production of Fame when it was touring and there was an downs syndrome chap in the audience, part of the nature of the condition is that they make strange noises to express their appreciation. Once you realised what it was, it wasn't a problem you just ignored it and watched the show. But every time he made a noise, the people behind were tutting and whispering, none to quietly, that he should be taken out. I sat in silence for the first half but discussed it with my mates during the interval. 2 minutes into the second half it started again. I turned round and said - 'will you please stop tutting' my friend turned at the same time and wasn't as polite with a 'What is your **** problem' we got a round of applause and the people, rather embarressed, shut up!
