No Cynthia, No.

Maybe they should have singing and no singing showings. When I’m at home alone, I love to sing along, but I would be annoyed to be in a public showing and having people sing along.

I think they do have those? I distinctly remember Wicked is getting some after Christmas day, but maybe they should have those available right from the get go

They've already announced singing showings.

[moronicus_kyla]

correct, this is the only acceptable situation for singing along. tons of movie musicals have done it, even Bohemian Rhapsody did it

This is why I'm waiting for streaming.

No one sang when I went!!! I was so relieved

For singalong showings that's totally fine, but not for regular showings. People are paying to hear the audio experience from the movie not some bloody screeching pterodactyl a few seats down.

Absolutely agree... unless it's a screening of Jurassic Park, because then I'd pay extra to have a pterodactyl screeching a few seats down!

Now that would just be a wonderful immersive experience lol

[labhaoise]

I feel so called out here

I can forgive people singing along at a concert movie since the goal is usually to recreate the concert experience and you’d probably be singing along if you were at the concert in person

But if you were seeing a live performance of Wicked it’d be rude to sing along so…maybe don’t bring that into the theater either. Unless theaters want to have designated showings where audience participation is fine
