A Mighty Wind

Any idea how the audience is supposed to react to the folk/fauxk acts?
What's the protocol/scene at normal folk concerts? (I do rocknroll)
Any thoughts as to whether the groups tonight expect us to be in on their joke, or is everything method-acting, incl. the crowd?

If you were dumb enough to pay $40 for this show, you should be able to act however you like.

It was actually a lot of fun.

And Jennifer Coolidge was there.

The actors did a great job, and the crowd loved every minute of it. And then some.

Genius

"On Drums…"

So you can speak for everybody in the crowd for every minute of the show……Quite impressive.

Actually, I don't think I'd spend $40 for any show, but given the choice of spending it on Mighty Wind, Jewell, or Marlilyn Manson, Might Wind would win by a longshot.

Sorry for my initial snotty comment.

I can

and they did

you people that decide that other people shouldn't enjoy a show because you decided it wasn't worth the ticket are really quite miserable

Watch out everybody, when you attend a show at Seth's club, he can speak for you.

How close is it to selling out tonight?

I'd go see the show again in heartbeat if it ever came around these parts again. It was that good…

I went to the early show. I thought the show was great. One of the most entertaining shows I have been to in a long time. The crowd was really into the show, I think even the actors were surprised at the audience reaction. They looked a bit shocked when they came out on stage and everyone was screaming. I thoroughly enjoyed it, and yes it was well worth the $40.

Also one of the longest door lines I have ever seen at the 930 Club.

It seems like this show would have been more well suited for a theater?

I wonder if the performers had a preference for playing a rock club?

The performance felt like theater. However I think the performance would be no where near as good in a theater. I just don't think you would get the same atmosphere in a theater. I think the audience reaction in a theater would have been much more subdued, which I think would have made for a much weaker show.

i was at the late show and had to leave after mitch and mickey… how many songs did they do as an encore?

At the early show they didn't do any by themselves, they went off stage and the entire cast came back on for one song and that was it.

Same one song encore for both shows.

Ah ha, so somebody didnt enjoy every minute of it cause he wasnt there for all minutes, i was right!!!!!!! See so now nobody can speak for everybody.

Please forgive me, Guiny. I didn't mean to speak for you. Please feel free to share with us your thoughts on the performance. I would hate to think that the deafening roar of the crowd before and after each act and song led me to an incorrect assumption.

Except for Seth of course.

I agree, it made for a really energetic show, and the music is not all that energetic on its own. It would have been a lot 'slower' and more subdued at the Warner Theater, say.

Great show, though these Sunday night shows are real killers (hence all of my show mates cancelled on me).

From time to time people mention audience reaction, like oh, the crowd was so lame,nobody wasa dancing, etc…I myself don't see what a big deal the audience reaction is…I go to see the band/act, not the audience! I like when the audience is as unobtrusive as possible, myself…
