Is that common in all broadway theatres now to allow food and drinks at the seats? Hate that idea.
It used to be. And I wish the practice would stop.
If I'm paying anywhere from $40-150 a ticket, the last things I want to deal with are noisy candy wrappers, spilled drinks, rattling ice in cups and fellow audience members who think they're sitting in their living room watching a show on TV.
More importantly, it's about respecting the performers and artists on stage. Would you want someone sipping on a Coke and digging into a super-size bag of m&m's while you were performing?
I'm all for making the audience feel more comfortable, but there's a big difference between accommodating and coddling.
