I saw a one man show with Billy Crudup (it was incredible) but I was front row and lord I saw so much spit come out of his mouth. I can only imagine that's the norm for theater actors that have to project to a whole audience.
idk as a former musical theatre actor this sort of thing wasn’t like the norm across the board but there were always certain people that were known for this and it was disgusting sharing the stage with them lol
I was front row for a play Chris Pine was in once, in a really small theater where he was right in front of me for most of the show, and I could quite literally feel flecks if his spit hit me in the face SEVERAL times. It was a constant stream of flying spit. He was looking right at me once as his spit landed next to my mouth, and I didn’t want him to see me actively wipe my face in disgust, so I just sat there frozen in horror. It was a long night.
I saw Aaron Tveit in concert a few years ago and the best available seats were in the orchestra section or the mezzanine. I’d never been to this venue before so I had no idea if the orchestra section had a decent rake (I’m short so half the time I get someone tall right in front of me so I can’t see). But since it was a really small venue, I decided I would still have a good view from the mezzanine (which usually has a steeper pitch). Now that I’ve seen your comment, I’m glad I was up high where he couldn’t spit on me!
