Silly little things about going to the theater I miss that have absolutely nothing to do with what's being performed on stage:
- reading the show listings at the back of the playbill and mentally checking off all the ones I've seen, haven't seen, and will never see (1/4)
- texting with friends who are also flying solo in their seats but at other shows and other theaters
- silently judging the people sitting in prime orchestra seats who paid at least three times what I paid but will only pay attention for 1/3 of the show (2/4)
- Instagramming the playbill
- Overheard in the men's room line during intermission: "Wow this is the first time I've ever seen the men's room longer than the women's room!"
- Clocking the one kid in the school group who is absolutely the token theater gay of his class. (3/4)
- Being on a subway platform at 42nd or 49th between 10:30pm and 11:30pm and seeing what playbills and windowcards people are carrying.
- Popping on to Twitter when you get home and finding out which of your mutuals were there that night without either of you realizing it. (4/4)
