The art maker they were talking to about it seemed to find the whole thing a bit embarrassing.

strangely enough, the last standing O i saw here in Toronto was for Monster at Buddies. so we could dissect the heck out of this, but really, MacIvor is getting standing O’s across the country, when no one else is so, i don’t want to be a playa hata you know? doin somethin right. most likely daniel brooks and andy moro would be an asset in this type of endeavor also.

regardless, i bet if you did a statistical analysis, that separated one-handers and musicals from the rest of the pack, you’d see that it’s apples and oranges really.

I recently saw a MacIvor premiere here and I was astonished at the over the top, standing O reception it got. I, for one, kept my seat. No disrespect to MacIvor, but a standing O? That's gotta be hard earned.<br/><br/>Perhaps Toronto audiences are more particular about what they rave about, I think the standard theatre crowd here (this particular premiere audience could certainly not have been called 'young')love the going to the thee-a-tuh once every few months and are enamored more with the overall experience than the work specifically. <br/><br/>Maybe y'all are more discerning. Just sayin'. And generalizing. But from experience. So there. I wonder what he meant by that too.

That’s bullshit we aren’t snooty in Toronto, and we are SO on the ball.

in truth i imagine (having never experienced vancouver theatre) that audiences there are younger and are in fact less snooty and on the ball as a result..maybe, im just making things up here.
