Lea Salonga Reminds Rude Theater Audience to Observe Proper Etiquette

<br /> Broadway star Lea Salonga expresses her dismayed on Twitter when she and her friends watched the musical 'Les Miserables' recently playing in Solaire Theater.<br /> <br /> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody> <tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-CYntLfDy0OA/VwrLBnAnJrI/AAAAAAAAHGM/wWbhrshDjrUpomnRJbqxa5nIQwqBXQThQ/s1600/Lea%2BSalonga%2BNew%2BHair%2BLook.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-CYntLfDy0OA/VwrLBnAnJrI/AAAAAAAAHGM/wWbhrshDjrUpomnRJbqxa5nIQwqBXQThQ/s1600/Lea%2BSalonga%2BNew%2BHair%2BLook.jpg" /></a></td></tr> <tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">image from PEP.ph</td></tr> </tbody></table> <br /> In a series of tweets, Lea said that while they were watching the play, there were some audience who kept on burping and talking while the musical is ongoing. The Broadway Diva also said that some even used their mobile phones and worst, some were even singing with the cast.<br /> <br /> Below are Lea's Tweets regarding her experience:<br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-q1RZ6djssTc/VwrKk15MLvI/AAAAAAAAHGI/UVbaQ6WQBhYCX5Ns1bZE6uYl62RhaMGJg/s1600/2016-04-11%2Bat%2B05-48-55.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="492" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-q1RZ6djssTc/VwrKk15MLvI/AAAAAAAAHGI/UVbaQ6WQBhYCX5Ns1bZE6uYl62RhaMGJg/s640/2016-04-11%2Bat%2B05-48-55.png" width="640" /></a></div> <br /> - Friends that saw Les Miz had people around them talking and burping. I guess some that could buy premium seats couldn’t afford class.<br /> <br /> - So, how does one teach a theater audience to turn off their phones, not sing along with the cast and not give loud commentary? #LotsToLearn<br /> <br /> - If you’re just going to glue your eyes to your phone instead of watching that play/musical, then stay home. No one likes a rude audience.<br /> <br /> - Also, the theater isn’t a karaoke bar. Try not to sing along. The rest of the audience paid to hear THE CAST sing. Not you.<br /> <br /> - This isn’t only about respecting the cast working hard on stage, but also respecting your fellow audience members and yourself.<br /> <br />
