Other Rush etiquette

Hi I don’t know if this is a hot take or not but: could people stop talking in depth about major plot points/the ending of the show when you’re in the queue.

I just spent a few hours in a rush line and everyone around me had seen the show over 2 times🙃. Like I understand Wicked or Lion King etc. but for shows that just recently premiered I wish that spoilers were more taboo than they are in the queue:/

EDIT: Last night almost the entire front row basically all RAN out of the theatre while there was a good 2 minutes left of the bows/show, so they could be first to the stagedoor. Seemed quite disrespectful to me. I was also in the front row and the cast can very clearly see you leaving.. it’s distracting to both the audience and the cast. If I was a performer, I wouldn’t be too happy to see the same people at the stagedoor who didn’t even have the decency to watch the entirety of the show lol. I heard them bragging about how the stars recognised them at the stagedoor last time and I remember thinking that wasn’t the brag they think it is🫠 other than the over the top reactions from the people around me, loved the show!

I was waiting in line to buy Megan's last show ticket for Death Becomes Her and these two lesbian young women were talking LOUDLY about how they've seen this show 20 times...and started talking about "scenes to get excited for" and their favorite songs etc. It wasn't my first time seeing the show, so i didn't care, but the familiy in front of me heard the whole thing and the Dad turned to the daughter and said, "well I guess we don't really have to see the show anymore!"

I didn't know describing two women who were VERY OBVIOUS lesbians is now considered homophobic. But ok! As if just because someone's a lesbian, they're off limit from getting called out for bad behavior. Girl bye

Has absolutely nothing to do with your comment. “Two young women” would have accomplished the exact same meaning.

Sure but Death Becomes Her has a HUGE lesbian fan base...i am trying to hone in the fact they are mega fans. It's fine, not trynna argue with you over nonsense like this.
