Hindi lang mga Pinoy, miski sa Broadway at West End maraming audience nanag use ng phone o nag disrupt ng show kaya nga minsan mga actors na mismo ang sumisita sa kanila. - from an avid theater goer
Totoo naman lahat sinabi ni Lea. Mga ibang Pinoy kaya bumili ng premiere seats, pero walang hiya naman habang nanonood ng show. Dapat naman mag-observe rin ng proper behavior para maenjoy rin ng iba yung pinapanood nila sa stage.
Akala kasi ng iba parang nag-attend lang ng concert. One of the reasons din siguro na hindi maganda pag may sumi-sing along is the fact na hindi mo maririnig yung mga actors.
Hahaha, condescending. So, sa panong paraan dapat sabihin. There's no polite way to say this, kasi rude naman talaga yung mga audience who dont observe proper decorum. Ano ba gais. C'mon, wag puro hate.
excuse me Lea Salonga, as if naman sa Pilipinas lang nangyayari yan. Punta ka kang sa youtube, mapapanood mo na ang daming nag-u-upload ng mga kuha thru phone ng mga broadway scenes.
The first part of her tweet would have sounded so much better if she did not include the part: some people could afford premium seats but not class. She could have also done a simple Do's and Don't When Watching a Show.
hindi pa ko nakaka attend ng musical play ek ek... kasi hindi ko afford pero very useful to sakin, kung makaka attend man ako ng play, now i know what are the do's and don'ts
Te, umamin ka, tama nmn cnsb nya db? Tanggapin natin na totoo nmn cnsb nya. If you don't like the person tlga yet tama nmn cnsb nya, will it make the right wrong?
It is not being a "know it all" when someone is trying to educate others who obviously dont know how to behave as a theater audience and are not mindful of proper etiquette and decorum.
Majority sa mga makakabasa nito will agree with her kaya it's not a case of being a know it all. Isa ka siguro sa mga maingay pag nanonood ng play o musical. O baka hindi ka pa nakakaexperience makapanood kaya di ka maka relate.
Teh, sige lets say hindi musical yung pinanuod mo sa sinehan nalang natin ilagay ang setting, diba nakakairita naman talaga pag may inutil na gumagamit ng fone habang running ang film diba? At nakakairita lalo yung maiingay at panay kwentuhan.
O ayan ha nilagay ko na sa mas kaya ng budget mo. Baka ma-getching mo na
@12:38AM- Ignorante ka. Ang panonood ng isang musical play ay hindi katulad ng panonood ng concert o ng pelikula sa sinehan. Isa pa, know IT all ang term sa gusto mong sabihin, hindi know all lng
5.51 get off your high horse, there's a right way inform the audience and it's not by talking to them in a condescending manner like you and Lea like to do.
Si 1:02 and 1:55 may high five pang nalalaman.. Mukhang exchange students ata.. Naku, pls read back on the articles abt Tita Lea so u know why she is being called Tita.. Especially by those who dont like her.. First day nyo kasi, pahiya na kayo agad, at least dalawa kayo to share the shame.. Haha! =)
mga nagmamarunong, di naman alam ang context, hahaha. kung narinig nyo si lea, ang kontexto eh since di naman kamag anak ang nambabash, bakit tita lea ang tawag? so sa madaling kontextual na pagiintindi, wala syan pakilalam kung tawagin syang tita dahil, pero kung basher ka, wag na. gets? may pa newbie-newbie pa kayong nalalaman hahaha
Si 2:48, either si 1:02 or 1:55 yan... Haha! Ayaw tanggapin na napahiya at natawag na newbie dahil pinatulan ang pag tawag ng Tita. Mag remdial classes nalang kayo sa FP.
Akala ata concert ang pinuntahan kaya sumasabay sila kumanta. Most of these unethical theatergoers are the new moneyed ones. Good manners didn't come with their sudden wealth.
No, no, no. I want to listen to the actors' voice. Not yours. It's not a concert, it's a musical theater play. The only people who should sing are the people on-stage. Look at it this way, somebody plays a violin or piano for the audience, and then some member of the audience also pull their own instrument and play along??? No way!
The actors auditioned and trained and practiced to give their best performance. The best homage to them is to listen attentively and not do anything that will distract them.
halah ,ina ano ba kayo ni tita Lea,behave nga naman ...minsan kc nga naman i angkop natin ang mga kilos natin sa natatamang lugar..konsidderasyon at tamang asal tawag don..buti napag aralan ko yon..halah
Well, filipino is not a very good audience. Kahit nga bumuga ka na ng apoy habang tumatawid sa alambre wala kang makukuhang palakpak. Sabi nila hirap daw tayong mga pilipino magpleased ng talent. Tingnan nyo, imbes na maproud tayo sa kapwa natin sa galing nila binabash pa natin
Tomooo! Naalala ko tuloy yung concert ni Rachelle Ann Go. Jusko birit na birit ang lola sa last niyang kanta halos lumawit na litid talagang mapapatayo ka sa galing pero ang mga audience sa harap kakarampot ang palakpak! Like wth people??!
so elitist? im super sure hindi ka pa naka panood ng kahit anong theater para masabi mo yan. wag kang shunga ate. nagbayad ka ng sobrang mahal para masulit ang experience tapos may mga ganyan sa paligid mo. tingnan ko lang kung di ma highblood. ikaw ang pretentious ate. hindi si lea.
Bakit wala bang announcement prior to the start of the show na to turn off all electronic devices? Theaters should initiate the education kasi di naman alam ng iba kung ano ang kultura sa teatro.
Meron naman baks... Pero alam mo naman ang pinoy: a) na-late ng pasok kaya di narinig (isa pang habit ng ilang theater goers na nakakainis), b) sabi nga nung isang kandidato, 'obedience to the law is almost optional', in short, wa-pakels.
Saka hindi yan kultura sa teatro. Kaugalian yan sa lahat ng aspeto ng buhay. Manners yan 'teh... Sa grade school pa lang di ba sabi ng teacher wag magdaldalan habang nagsasalita sya? Ganun din sa teatro.
Tomo ka Bekz ang mahal ng bayad sa premium seats tas di man lang magbigay ng song sheets? Nubeyen, ang hirap kayang humirit pag binabasa mo ang lyrics sa phone.
May announcement. But pinoy's still feel entitled with the nagbayad ako so huwag ka makialam' reasoning. The cellphone being on? Baka daw may emergency
Those who sing along feel they are not doing anything wrong but instead show that they love the program. The cellphone people? Are addicted and will scratch you if you dare take the phone away.
My mom used to take me to operas and ballets as a toddler/child and I of course hated it! Siyempre ngawa dito at doon tapos after the performance kukurutin ako at sisisgawan kasi ang dami daw nainis sa kanya. YES PLEASE DO NOT TAKE THE CHILD! They do not appreciate the show and would rather stay home with yaya.
The problem with her tweets is that it sounded so mad. Can't she say it nicely so that people will know how they should act? Anyway, that's how i see it. Hopeully we all learn from this.
@142am. No, we're past being nice. Pang ilang musical na ba to by a foreign production? Ilang taon na bang may mobile ang mga pinoy? Ung etiquette na sinasabi nya, hindi lang naman sa theater dapat observed pati sa regulr movie theaters and even in church. So no, Lea doesn't have to be nice and she doesn't sound mad - exasperated is more appropriate.
When an entire experience is ruined by a few people who have no consideration to th cast, crew and their fellow audience, it is a challenge to be nice abt it.. Also, being nice abt it doesnt stress the point to make them want to change their behavior. So im sorry, i believe that being brutally frank and straight forward abt this is the only way to go.
To her bashers, try to be objective and learn to learn. Totoo naman yung sinabi niya. Madaming educated hindi naman cultured. Itaas naman natin yung standards natin.
i hope that the people here who are all in agreement with lea salonga's comments including lea salonga herself would also show condemnation on the common practice of people nowadays about using their cellphones while inside the church...or indulging in chika even when during mass. it would be sad that some people abhor the use of phones while watching plays but engage in the same behavior when attending mass or visiting the house of worship. i guess we should all practice what we preach specially in the more important things...just saying...observe proper decorum at all times...for those who act consistently, thank you
3:06, I agree with 2:03. Tutal napag-uusapan na rin lang natin yung proper decorum, manners and etiquette sa theater, musical production shows, etc, why stop there? Kasi, pansin ko din, those behaviors are sadly remiss dun sa mga lugar na talagang dapat i-observe yun. I live abroad for many years now and have seen the stark difference sa asal natin as compared dito. Most times, dapat sana dina kailangan i-remind sa atin how to act pero its true, matigas ulo nating mga Pinoy lalu na sa ating bansa.
Ang mga troll at negatron talaga. She was telling or teaching people how to appropriately act while watching in a theater, it is all about manners and proper etiquette. Kaya nga sabi pa nya #lotstolearn diba?!? Hindi ito tungkol sa estado ng buhay.
Besides, when watching a movie in a theater, we are asked to be silent with our phones must be on mute. It is ok to react like laugh when it is funny, scream when it is terrifying, cry when it is sad but a no no to discuss what you are watching.
Sana lang regardless if a comment may seem elitist from your point of you, tignan mo na rin kung may kabutihan doon lalo na king pinag-uusapan eh tamang pag-aasal.
Lea Salonga is correct. Theatre etiquette should be observed. Just watched Les Miserables tonight. Was seated at the middle side third row. And i paid a premium price for such ticket, in the hopes of course to enjoy a good show. You would think those seated in our area would know and observe theatre etiquette obviously. But this lady on the left side first row in the middle of a good performance, probably got bored and started using her cellphone. So annoying. And it took a while before an usher talked to her...
That's why a lot of foreigners called us uncivilized kasi marami talaga sa atin mga maleducados..i'm just saying the truth because i've witnessed such unbecoming behaviors of filipinos abroad like in the airport, airplanes, trains, parks, caregivers in retirement homes, and other public places..nakakahiya talaga, you'll cringe w/ embarrassment considering they're your country men..most of us are still in the back waters!
True 3:41. I live in the part of the city here in Toronto na madaming Pinoy. Majority of those attending sa school with my kids are Pinoy. Pag may school production, programs and contests, kahiya-hiya talaga asal natin, at talagang yung pagigin uncultured, very glaring and apparent. Mahilig mag-save ng mga upuan kasi kasama ata pati kapitbahay, so madalas, nagiging SRO na lang. Tayuan din lagi to take pics and videos, uncaring sa mga nasa likuran. Rude, uncouth, and noisy yung crowd ng Pinoy madalas, Half-Chinese din ako kaya, minsan, kakahiya mang aminin, I would rather be known as the other half kesa Pinoy dahil nga sa asal ng mga kababayan natin.
Based sa observation ko, yung mga ushers sa loob na nakatayo sa mga gilid, tutok din sa panonood. Pagsabihan nila dapat yang mga yan. Pag nagalit ang patron na hindi sumusunod. Escort him/her out of the theatre. Dun sya kumuda sa labas.
At sino nagsabing "elitista" na ang panonood ng musical ngayon? Mahal ang ticket, sige, pero hindi status quo yan. Dyusko. What is pasosyal talaga ang mga tao nowadays. Mahal ang ticket kasi babayaran ang talents na nagpeperform, ang mga staff, ang orchestra na tumutugtog ng live gabi gabi, kasama na dyan ang renta sa theatre, ilaw, kuryente, tubig at wifi na ginagamit ninyo sa solaire sa lobby.
its common courtesy even here sa states sa sinehan na lang for example people are following rules like dont use your cellphones while the film is showing or else talagang palalabasin ka. i guess filipinos will never learn sad but true
Yung mga nagnegative comment sa sinabi ni lea eh subukan nyo manuod at may mga katabi kayong ganung mga tao, baka bigla kayo mapa~ Yes sa comments nya.
Agree! I learned theatre et from movies. It's not only class since I'm not class, common sense Lang. Respect for theatre and art, science na confined/dimmed space, And the cooperation to behave para sa mga katabi.
Because there are people who watch Les Mis just to brag. I doubt they even made an effort to research the story ahead of time, thus they got bored at some of the scenes.
To be fair Les Mis franchise is catering to a different type of audience in the Philippines. Pinoys like to sing a long, eat and talk loudly at the same time. This kind of behaviour may not be acceptable in other countries but it is still the norm here despite some people's pretentiuosness and snobbery. You want to experience high brow you go to La Scala, Met Opera etc. Audience between here and there are like apples and oranges.
12:52 Just because it is the norm does not mean there is no room for correction. It is common courtesy and they should be called out and publicly humiliated para madala.
To be fair to pinoy theater buffs, we dont burp-singalong-use our mobiles during a show BUT we anticipated this for Les Mis. Let's face it, Rachel Anne Go will attract people who normally don't watch theater because she used to be part of local showbiz. Not all of them but most of them should be guilty of those Lea mentioned above. Then there are those who just lack breeding period, and they will display their crassness anywhere.
it's irritating when someone's cell phone goes off, but what's even worse Annoyed "hisses, snarls, and shouts of "Turn it off!" along with scandalized glares can be just as distracting as the original disruption.
One time nanonood ako ng UP Madrigal Singers sa Manhattan. Inannounce na cell phone should be turned off because the show was being recorded. A few minutes later the cell phone of the lady in front of me rang. Pinabayaan lang niya. Sarap sampalin!
kakahiya at ang kakapal naman ng mga mukha ng mga pinoy dito na nag cocomment kinahihiya ang kapwa nila yes ms. lea is right pero kakacringe na ginagamit niyo tong situation na ito para ilabas ng ang self hatred towards sarili nating lahi . kayo ang elitist and classist get a grip.
Tama naman si Ateng Liah. Its jst how she delivered it. kahit writtent comm lang yan, she sounded like (as always) mayabang. Pro totoong maraming barbaro sa Pinas. Yung iba wala lang tlgang common sense.
bat my nambabash p dto? mahirap b ntindihin sinabi ni lea? tama nmn xa ah! itong mga bashers n to ang humihila pababa s mga matitinong pilipino. kya nga kawawa mga iba n maayos ang pg-uugali pero naddamay s mga comments ng mga dayuhan kc jine-generalized nila mga pilipino! minsan mgpkumbaba nmn tyo at tanggapin ang ating pgkkmali, ndi ung ipgllaban mo p ang baluktot mong pg-uugali. mdmi n dn aq nsaksihan n gnitong pngyyari n nkkadstract s tin lalo n s church, sinehan etc. wlang disiplina mga kapwa ntin.pg sinita mo, instead n mgsori cla, cla p ang matapang!
12:05 BASTOS NGA YUNG SUMASABAY SA PERFORMANCE. It's not being killjoy it's being considerate. Obviously ikaw yung isa sa nakikikanta. Hoping to be discovered?
Another practice of the pinoy audience that makes me cringe is they love to clap in the middle of a performance which is very distracting to the artist. Don't they know that they should clap only after the end of the performance, or at least at the end of the song? I often see this at the CCP.
Sinabi mo! Like when Libera sang Bayan Ko at PICC, the audience kept on clapping at every verse of the song. This came out rude specially to the foreign audience.
when i watched Wicked at the CCP two years ago, the teenage girl seated next to me was singing along and on top of her lungs even. i told her straight that i did not pay to hear her voice so she better shut up... it worked especially when the people around us agreed and told her to either "leave or zip it" - needless to say she and the old lady she was with were the first to leave when the show is over.
When I watched Wicked in 2014, the audience was well-behaved. Didn't notice anything like what Lea mentioned. I hope I don't experience the same when I watch Les Mis next week!
Completely agree with Lea. Hindi lang sa mga musical theater nangyayari ito. Even in the movie theaters maraming pasaway, walang disiplina at respeto sa kapwa. Ang lalakas magsasagot ng phone at nakikipagchikahan pa, not taking into consideration na yung mga pumupunta gustong manood ng sine.
agree, tapos kapag sinaway mo sila kahit malumanay sila pa galit, kesyo nagbayad daw sila... sana bumili na lang sila ng pirated dvd at sa bahay na lang manood kung ganon
I was lucky enough to have watched les miserables last month. Maswerte lang ba kame dahil hindi namin naexperience yung sinasabi ni tita lea? Wala kasing kahit anong ingay from the audience. Everyone seemed to be well mannered then. At take note, puno ang teatro nun =)
hindi lahat talga ng tao eh may etiquette....pero sana sa mga ganitong sitwasyon ipakita naman natin na hindi natin kauri ang mga hayop....konting level up mga baks....
Maski sa concerts I don't like it when people sing along. I paid to watch and hear the artist sing and perform live and not the crowd with their often out-of-tune singing.
wala bang ushers ang teatro sa pinas? hindi pa ako nakakapanood sa pinas ng teatro (pasencia purita nung college days haha) but when i watched Les Mis sa broadway, those ushers were strict AF! They even threatened ung isang koya at sinabihan na "sir this is your last warning. i will send you out if take out your phone one more time" *SAVAGE*! the audience area is dark during the show so halatang halata pag nilabas mo.
True. I agree kay Leah. Obviously, these people aren't aware of Broadway/Theater etiquettes

ReplyDeleteYunh nega sa taas kay Tita Lea. Oo kadalasan condescending sya but this time she's right!!! Annoying itong mga ganitong klaseng audience.

Tomo ka Bekz ang mahal ng bayad sa premium seats tas di man lang magbigay ng song sheets? Nubeyen, ang hirap kayang humirit pag binabasa mo ang lyrics sa phone.
DeleteMay announcement. But pinoy's still feel entitled with the nagbayad ako so huwag ka makialam' reasoning. The cellphone being on? Baka daw may emergency
DeleteOnly uneducated people will disagree with her
ReplyDeleteThose who sing along feel they are not doing anything wrong but instead show that they love the program. The cellphone people? Are addicted and will scratch you if you dare take the phone away.
Delete2:43 - you cannot sing along iwt hthe actors! lol
DeleteAte Lea, marami po kasing social climber dito sa atin. Manonood ng les mis para masabing sosyal pero mag seselfie lang.
ReplyDeletepak!
DeleteOthers are not social climbers. Feel lang nila sobra silang yaman that they are above the law
DeleteDapat may sign sa labas on how to behave inside the theater
ReplyDeleteThis is not being elitist people
Tawag dito good manners
and pls yung tipong isasama pa nila yung kids nila tpos hindi naman nila macontrol. so annoying
DeleteMy mom used to take me to operas and ballets as a toddler/child and I of course hated it! Siyempre ngawa dito at doon tapos after the performance kukurutin ako at sisisgawan kasi ang dami daw nainis sa kanya. YES PLEASE DO NOT TAKE THE CHILD! They do not appreciate the show and would rather stay home with yaya.
DeleteTama naman lahat ng sinabi nya, ngayon. Galing lang sa kanya kaya sounds rude & elitist..
ReplyDeleteThe problem with her tweets is that it sounded so mad. Can't she say it nicely so that people will know how they should act? Anyway, that's how i see it. Hopeully we all learn from this.
ReplyDelete@142am. No, we're past being nice. Pang ilang musical na ba to by a foreign production? Ilang taon na bang may mobile ang mga pinoy? Ung etiquette na sinasabi nya, hindi lang naman sa theater dapat observed pati sa regulr movie theaters and even in church. So no, Lea doesn't have to be nice and she doesn't sound mad - exasperated is more appropriate.
DeleteWhen an entire experience is ruined by a few people who have no consideration to th cast, crew and their fellow audience, it is a challenge to be nice abt it.. Also, being nice abt it doesnt stress the point to make them want to change their behavior. So im sorry, i believe that being brutally frank and straight forward abt this is the only way to go.
DeleteTo her bashers, try to be objective and learn to learn. Totoo naman yung sinabi niya. Madaming educated hindi naman cultured. Itaas naman natin yung standards natin.
ReplyDeleteWell said Ms. Salonga. I applaud you for saying the truth about respect and common courtesy in the theater and also in other entertainment venues.
ReplyDeleteAnsabi sa sumasabay sa kanta? Goodness, hindi variety show ang musical production. Anu ba. Hahahahahaha!
ReplyDeletei hope that the people here who are all in agreement with lea salonga's comments including lea salonga herself would also show condemnation on the common practice of people nowadays about using their cellphones while inside the church...or indulging in chika even when during mass. it would be sad that some people abhor the use of phones while watching plays but engage in the same behavior when attending mass or visiting the house of worship. i guess we should all practice what we preach specially in the more important things...just saying...observe proper decorum at all times...for those who act consistently, thank you
ReplyDeleteTrue. But that's totally not the topic.
DeleteTrue. But that's totally not the topic.
Delete3:06, I agree with 2:03. Tutal napag-uusapan na rin lang natin yung proper decorum, manners and etiquette sa theater, musical production shows, etc, why stop there? Kasi, pansin ko din, those behaviors are sadly remiss dun sa mga lugar na talagang dapat i-observe yun. I live abroad for many years now and have seen the stark difference sa asal natin as compared dito. Most times, dapat sana dina kailangan i-remind sa atin how to act pero its true, matigas ulo nating mga Pinoy lalu na sa ating bansa.
DeleteSOME PEOPLE USE THEIR SMARTPHONES IN CHURCH TO READ THE GOSPEL?
DeleteSad, but ignorance and rudeness are still common in this country.
ReplyDeleteSo true..80% of the filipinos have no manners!
DeleteYabang much? Even in USA madami din rude sa theatre haler?
Delete3:42 please show us the survey
Deletebaka akala ng audience ay concert lang...LOL!
ReplyDeleteAng mga troll at negatron talaga. She was telling or teaching people how to appropriately act while watching in a theater, it is all about manners and proper etiquette. Kaya nga sabi pa nya #lotstolearn diba?!? Hindi ito tungkol sa estado ng buhay.
ReplyDeleteBesides, when watching a movie in a theater, we are asked to be silent with our phones must be on mute. It is ok to react like laugh when it is funny, scream when it is terrifying, cry when it is sad but a no no to discuss what you are watching.
Sana lang regardless if a comment may seem elitist from your point of you, tignan mo na rin kung may kabutihan doon lalo na king pinag-uusapan eh tamang pag-aasal.
Lea Salonga is correct. Theatre etiquette should be observed. Just watched Les Miserables tonight. Was seated at the middle side third row. And i paid a premium price for such ticket, in the hopes of course to enjoy a good show. You would think those seated in our area would know and observe theatre etiquette obviously. But this lady on the left side first row in the middle of a good performance, probably got bored and started using her cellphone. So annoying. And it took a while before an usher talked to her...
ReplyDeleteThat's why a lot of foreigners called us uncivilized kasi marami talaga sa atin mga maleducados..i'm just saying the truth because i've witnessed such unbecoming behaviors of filipinos abroad like in the airport, airplanes, trains, parks, caregivers in retirement homes, and other public places..nakakahiya talaga, you'll cringe w/ embarrassment considering they're your country men..most of us are still in the back waters!
DeleteTrue 3:41. I live in the part of the city here in Toronto na madaming Pinoy. Majority of those attending sa school with my kids are Pinoy. Pag may school production, programs and contests, kahiya-hiya talaga asal natin, at talagang yung pagigin uncultured, very glaring and apparent. Mahilig mag-save ng mga upuan kasi kasama ata pati kapitbahay, so madalas, nagiging SRO na lang. Tayuan din lagi to take pics and videos, uncaring sa mga nasa likuran. Rude, uncouth, and noisy yung crowd ng Pinoy madalas, Half-Chinese din ako kaya, minsan, kakahiya mang aminin, I would rather be known as the other half kesa Pinoy dahil nga sa asal ng mga kababayan natin.
DeleteBased sa observation ko, yung mga ushers sa loob na nakatayo sa mga gilid, tutok din sa panonood. Pagsabihan nila dapat yang mga yan. Pag nagalit ang patron na hindi sumusunod. Escort him/her out of the theatre. Dun sya kumuda sa labas.
ReplyDeleteAt sino nagsabing "elitista" na ang panonood ng musical ngayon? Mahal ang ticket, sige, pero hindi status quo yan. Dyusko. What is pasosyal talaga ang mga tao nowadays. Mahal ang ticket kasi babayaran ang talents na nagpeperform, ang mga staff, ang orchestra na tumutugtog ng live gabi gabi, kasama na dyan ang renta sa theatre, ilaw, kuryente, tubig at wifi na ginagamit ninyo sa solaire sa lobby.
ReplyDeleteI'm about to watch it next week, hope not to get the same experience she had.
ReplyDeleteits common courtesy even here sa states sa sinehan na lang for example people are following rules like dont use your cellphones while the film is showing or else talagang palalabasin ka. i guess filipinos will never learn sad but true
ReplyDeleteLearn from that FP regulars. Hindi yung nagka-internet lang e feeling entitled na kayo mang-bash!
ReplyDeletepinoys are soooooo third world! Gosh, buy Julie Yap Daza's etiquette book, will you?
ReplyDeleteYung mga nagnegative comment sa sinabi ni lea eh subukan nyo manuod at may mga katabi kayong ganung mga tao, baka bigla kayo mapa~ Yes sa comments nya.
ReplyDeleteAgree! I learned theatre et from movies. It's not only class since I'm not class, common sense Lang. Respect for theatre and art, science na confined/dimmed space, And the cooperation to behave para sa mga katabi.
ReplyDeleteBecause there are people who watch Les Mis just to brag. I doubt they even made an effort to research the story ahead of time, thus they got bored at some of the scenes.
ReplyDeletetrue ang alam lang nila yung movie
DeleteTo be fair Les Mis franchise is catering to a different type of audience in the Philippines. Pinoys like to sing a long, eat and talk loudly at the same time. This kind of behaviour may not be acceptable in other countries but it is still the norm here despite some people's pretentiuosness and snobbery. You want to experience high brow you go to La Scala, Met Opera etc. Audience between here and there are like apples and oranges.
Delete12:52 Just because it is the norm does not mean there is no room for correction. It is common courtesy and they should be called out and publicly humiliated para madala.
Delete12:52 - IT IS A MUSICAL PLAY, NOT A CONCERT, THOUGH.
Deleteso true miss leah.
ReplyDeleteTo be fair to pinoy theater buffs, we dont burp-singalong-use our mobiles during a show BUT we anticipated this for Les Mis. Let's face it, Rachel Anne Go will attract people who normally don't watch theater because she used to be part of local showbiz. Not all of them but most of them should be guilty of those Lea mentioned above. Then there are those who just lack breeding period, and they will display their crassness anywhere.
ReplyDeletePremium seats nga sabi ni Lea di ba so miski mayaman kulang din sila sa manners or maybe they really don't care.
DeleteHindi lang naman mayaman ang nasa premium seats. May mga kilala ako ginamit credit card nila kahit wala sa budget masabi lang kasama sila sa alta.
Deleteit's irritating when someone's cell phone goes off, but what's even worse Annoyed "hisses, snarls, and shouts of "Turn it off!" along with scandalized glares can be just as distracting as the original disruption.
ReplyDeleteOne time nanonood ako ng UP Madrigal Singers sa Manhattan. Inannounce na cell phone should be turned off because the show was being recorded. A few minutes later the cell phone of the lady in front of me rang. Pinabayaan lang niya. Sarap sampalin!
Deletekakahiya at ang kakapal naman ng mga mukha ng mga pinoy dito na nag cocomment kinahihiya ang kapwa nila yes ms. lea is right pero kakacringe na ginagamit niyo tong situation na ito para ilabas ng ang self hatred towards sarili nating lahi . kayo ang elitist and classist get a grip.
ReplyDeleteTama naman si Ateng Liah. Its jst how she delivered it. kahit writtent comm lang yan, she sounded like (as always) mayabang.
ReplyDeletePro totoong maraming barbaro sa Pinas. Yung iba wala lang tlgang common sense.
Ano naman kinayabang sa sinabi niya? Hirap sa inyo pag diretso magsalita ang tao mayabang na. Gamitin rin utak paminsan-minsan.
Deleteyou're just not use to being corrected. if sayo mayabang ang dating you should also be able to read between the lines na she is just correcting
DeleteI so agree with you lea, giwang karaoke ang theater
ReplyDeletebat my nambabash p dto? mahirap b ntindihin sinabi ni lea? tama nmn xa ah! itong mga bashers n to ang humihila pababa s mga matitinong pilipino. kya nga kawawa mga iba n maayos ang pg-uugali pero naddamay s mga comments ng mga dayuhan kc jine-generalized nila mga pilipino! minsan mgpkumbaba nmn tyo at tanggapin ang ating pgkkmali, ndi ung ipgllaban mo p ang baluktot mong pg-uugali. mdmi n dn aq nsaksihan n gnitong pngyyari n nkkadstract s tin lalo n s church, sinehan etc. wlang disiplina mga kapwa ntin.pg sinita mo, instead n mgsori cla, cla p ang matapang!
ReplyDeleteOMG, yes people who sing along, no matter how nice your voice is... ANNOYING!
ReplyDeleteKilljoy e di mag join ka rin
Delete12:05 BASTOS NGA YUNG SUMASABAY SA PERFORMANCE. It's not being killjoy it's being considerate. Obviously ikaw yung isa sa nakikikanta. Hoping to be discovered?
DeleteAnon 12:05 obviously you have no manners. Better stay home.
DeleteAnother practice of the pinoy audience that makes me cringe is they love to clap in the middle of a performance which is very distracting to the artist. Don't they know that they should clap only after the end of the performance, or at least at the end of the song?
ReplyDeleteI often see this at the CCP.
Sinabi mo! Like when Libera sang Bayan Ko at PICC, the audience kept on clapping at every verse of the song. This came out rude specially to the foreign audience.
Deletemasa kase.. bastos versyn na la mesrablezz
Deletewhen i watched Wicked at the CCP two years ago, the teenage girl seated next to me was singing along and on top of her lungs even. i told her straight that i did not pay to hear her voice so she better shut up... it worked especially when the people around us agreed and told her to either "leave or zip it" - needless to say she and the old lady she was with were the first to leave when the show is over.
ReplyDeleteright on! yeah!
DeleteI agree with Lea 100%!
ReplyDeleteeven as a child Lea has been working at the Philippine Repertory so you can say she is an expert on this.
DeleteWhen I watched Wicked in 2014, the audience was well-behaved. Didn't notice anything like what Lea mentioned. I hope I don't experience the same when I watch Les Mis next week!
ReplyDeleteMaybe because some of the audience of Les Miz watched because of Rachel Anne Go and haven't been to a musical play before.
DeleteCompletely agree with Lea.
ReplyDeleteHindi lang sa mga musical theater nangyayari ito.
Even in the movie theaters maraming pasaway, walang disiplina at respeto sa kapwa.
Ang lalakas magsasagot ng phone at nakikipagchikahan pa, not taking into consideration na yung mga pumupunta gustong manood ng sine.
agree, tapos kapag sinaway mo sila kahit malumanay sila pa galit, kesyo nagbayad daw sila... sana bumili na lang sila ng pirated dvd at sa bahay na lang manood kung ganon
DeleteI was lucky enough to have watched les miserables last month. Maswerte lang ba kame dahil hindi namin naexperience yung sinasabi ni tita lea? Wala kasing kahit anong ingay from the audience. Everyone seemed to be well mannered then. At take note, puno ang teatro nun =)
ReplyDeletehindi lahat talga ng tao eh may etiquette....pero sana sa mga ganitong sitwasyon ipakita naman natin na hindi natin kauri ang mga hayop....konting level up mga baks....
ReplyDeletethey should resarch what behavior is expected of them if they are not familiar.
DeleteI agree with her. Musical stage play yan, hindi concert.
ReplyDeleteeven sa mga classical concerts may mga gumagawa niyan. kairita!
DeleteAkala nila concert..
ReplyDeleteeh naku sa sinehan na lang eh merong mga ganyan nagkwekwentuhan pa.
ReplyDeleteMaski sa concerts I don't like it when people sing along.
ReplyDeleteI paid to watch and hear the artist sing and perform live and not the crowd with their often out-of-tune singing.
yun kasing mga walang alam sa proper musical theater or broadway decorum hwag na kayong sumabat. mas lalo lang kayong nagmumukhang PG!
ReplyDeletewala bang ushers ang teatro sa pinas? hindi pa ako nakakapanood sa pinas ng teatro (pasencia purita nung college days haha) but when i watched Les Mis sa broadway, those ushers were strict AF! They even threatened ung isang koya at sinabihan na "sir this is your last warning. i will send you out if take out your phone one more time" *SAVAGE*! the audience area is dark during the show so halatang halata pag nilabas mo.
ReplyDeleteWapakels! Ka-cheapan Lang yan ever! Eeewwwness
ReplyDeleteSorry Lea, ngaun lang naman kasi nag-boom ang stage plays dito sa Pinas, kaya maraming di alam kung ano ang proper decorum when watching a play.
