My dearest wish, all my life, has been to go to NYC and see a real live Broadway Musical. Imagine my shock when I saw Nathan Lane being interviewed when The Producers was the hottest ticket in town talking about how all the people were sound asleep in the front row. He said that it kind dampened the energy level of himself and Matthew Broderick. Having said that I take an elderly lady to the movies because she says she loves them. As soon as the lights go down her head either falls forward or back and she sleeps through the entire thing. I have had to nudge her to stop her snoring!
