“Wow, there’s actually a movie called Heathers!” Overheard about a minute ago. I won’t say what show I’m at the interval of! Mind you, in all fairness, I hadn't heard of the film Heathers either.

“No, this is a play”
Overheard reply from the chap staffing the merchandise stand at Patriots just now. Wish I’d heard the previous line!

"Is it a real Groundhog"? Followed by "If they use real children at Matilda it should be a real Groundhog". Said several times to several people by a grown woman.

Overheard at Cursed Child last week - American lady explaining to her companion how they do the time turner effect.
"So I was talking to a guy next to the sound board thing at the back, and he said they fill the auditorium with carbon dioxide really fast which affects your vision and makes the set look blurry, then they suck it all out again"
I'd love to know if this was the sound op taking the p*ss, or just some random person standing by the sound desk having a bit of a laugh

"Is it a real Groundhog"? Followed by "If they use real children at Matilda it should be a real Groundhog". Said several times to several people by a grown woman. The cast of Lion King are trembling with fear of her reasoning…!

At Titanic The Musical last week I heard someone behind me - "I don't think there's any songs in this". Keeping a laugh in for that one was my biggest success of the week.

"The furniture is very cheap" - a naturalistic set of a lived-in house in County Clare - "The Loved Ones" at the Gate Theatre Dublin, (which tends to attract a rather well-heeled audience).

As I was leaving "A View From the Bridge" at Chichester yesterday, from the couple behind me: Man: "It didn't make sense. Why didn't he want to go to the wedding?"
I mean, where does one start to explain?

In the interval of To Woo Fong at Hope Mill last night, an elderly lady who I think was part of a coach party, stood up as soon as the lights came on and loudly proclaimed "Ooh, Aren't t'frocks fabulous"

At My Favorite Things, one woman was telling a friend about a previous time she’d seen Maria Friedman: “She was brilliant. I’m sure she was pissed, but she was brilliant.”

At Sondheim's Old Friends yesterday, a young lady, clearly a Bradley Jaden fan: "When I eventually have this baby I'm going to the stage door to meet Bradley and tell him I've named my baby after him!"
Then, obviously flicking through the programme: "ooh, Bradley, Janny Dee" (yes, that's how she pronounced it), "don't know, don't know, don't know ..."

A slightly amusing moment at Sunset during the interval the other night when a woman in the row behind me kept insisting very loudly that the second act would only be 15 minutes because "I was told MULTIPLE times this show lets out at 9:30 sharp." "I don't know why they're even bothering with an interval. We all know the second act is just going to be 10 minutes" The guy in the seat next to me, who had also seen the show previously, shared a nice side and chuckle.
