Snoozin' during a musical

Ok I like going to musicals. They are fun and romantic. I know I know, I like romance. Nothign wrong with that. But what is so romantic about spending the night out with the man of your dreams when someone is snoring during a musical? Now it's bad enough that someone is snoring away, but not only is the sounds distracting but no one is waking this guy up. I was too far away to do more than give odd stares and it's a live event making it rude to disrupt people who are not even with this guy.

I had a roommate that would do this. We'd rent a movie and sit down and watch it. Her boyfriend would often fall asleep and snore during the movie. I feel it's rude to be the one to wake him up but she thinks it's cute and she should leave him alone since he's had a long day at work...like I haven't. So I told her if she lets him snore during the next time we rent something or watch something, I'm leaving and she can watch it alone and I'll just watch the movie on me own. I have a strong feeling that the person that came with this snoozing guy at the musical was feeling the same way..."Aww just let him sleep. He's tired. He's had a long day." Well guess what? we didn't spend money on fourth row tickets, center stage to see The Lion King to hear your friend snore. Wake him the fuck up! It's rude not to wake him up! It's rude because it's disturbing to the rest of the people trying to enjoy the show!

:mad::gun: :flamed:
 
You can get little nose clips that stop people snoring by forcing their airways open. This wouldn't work for strangers, but you could give a member of your party a prod and then insist that if they're going to sleep they wear the clip you've thoughtfully provided?
 
It's shitty enough to snore through a musical. But through The Lion King... ? How the hell do you sleep through that one?! Freaking everyone likes the Lion King.
 
If it's that annoying, is it any more annoying to ask them to wake him up or to shush him? You could wad up the program and hit him in the head. Ok, that was drastic, but would be funny. It's at least no ruder to shush them than to have to listen to them and have it spoil your enjoyment of the show. At least that way someone knows you aren't happy with the situation. But if no one does anything, no one knows you are annoyed. Like you said, your friend thinks it's cute and probably this person does too. Or, you could get up and go out and complain and have an usher handle the problem. At least that way you could enjoy the rest of the show.
 
Lion King was a sweet show...

But anyway, if that guy were snoring, and annoying me, I'd have gotten up. I'd walk past him, intentionally banging into him to wake him up. Then, I'd go back to my seat.

If that was too much work, I'd probably just throw my program at him.
 
My problem isn't snoring during musicals, it's usually singing along with the folks on stage. My husband had the nerve to actually move to another row, disassociating himself, when I sang along with Bear Country Jamboree at Disneyland.

I liked the idea of whacking someone accidently with a program, or maybe using the advertisement pages to create a paper airplane and seeing if you can fly it into the open mouth hanger.

Then again, you could try the telegraph game - poke the person next to you, and have them pass along the message to shush. By the time it reaches the snorer, "Wake up, you rude bastard" would probably sound like "Snakes up, with prune custard." That should be enough to rouse the deepest slumber.
 
I would have taken my shoe of and sent if flying, if that doesn't wake the guy up call 911. But yes I hate it when I'm trying to enjoy a movie/play/musical and you have some ass catching z's during the show. Almost got into a little bit of a tussle when I awoke someone during the showing of The Exorcist of Emily Rose turns out some people are very cranky when awoken via a box of snow caps to the back of the head. :D
 
Bitch, chances are if I were on stage for that show, and I saw (or heard) this, I would have found an opportune moment to throw a prop at him.

It's really rude to do that. If you think you're going to sleep in a musical, or don't think that you would enjoy it, then don't go.

Simple. But alas, people will never learn, will they?
 
Anytime I hear someone snoring through a musical, I simply go get an usher. It's simple, it's effective, it has the authority of the theater staff behind it, and, most importantly, it doesn't have your name written all over it.
