Oh, and remember yesterday - the critic who sounded like me, saying how civilized the audience was at Encores? Well, apparently not:
"I was there last night and thought the performance was terrific. My problem (admittedly slight) was with the audience. The increasingly vocal reactions have gone from being exciting—who doesn’t like a thrillingly visceral response?—to being predictable and performative. And, if I’m being honest, obnoxious. Every number there seemed to be someone who HAD to be the one to start the applause, so a number’s final note hadn’t even been played and the audience was screaming and cheering like they were at a rock concert. Every. Single. Number. And there was one guy, after Clara’s act two song, who leapt to his feet, applauding like a mad man—is the show about Margaret and Clara Johnson, or is it about YOU?"
