it's a fucking Award winning musical, right?

Living near a Big Ten U has some advantages. we often get theatrical productions that might otherwise skip this not so big town.
Over a month ago, we started hearing ads (several times a day) for the next big play The Lion King - the play will start showing in a couple of weeks and run 8 weeks.
I call up the box office - “You’re selling tickets for the Lion King, huh?”
yes, we are.
“It’s a musical, right?”
oh, yes, an award winning musical.
“lots of songs?”
oh, yes.
“then why, oh why, for all that’s good and holy, do you continue the hourly onslaught of commercials featuring the same mother fucking screeching, eardrum blastin thirty seconds of musicl * over and over and over again*???”

  • ahhhhhhhhinganja*::

I swear (frequently) I’d buy fucking tickets if they’d just change the fucking commercial!

I doubt the box office jockey has much to do with the theater’s ad purchasing.

-but it’s the only contact # I had.

That was very embarrassing of you, wring, on so many levels.

A rant, but one based on vaguely arty stuff.

Let the passionate aesthetes in Cafe Society have at it.

This is uber-lame. I hope for your sake you didn’t actually make that phone call, and you just said you did for comedic value (such as it were). Yes, hearing the same commercial over and over again is annoying, no matter what it’s advertising, but why do you think the person at the theatre would care?

That’s like me calling my local Best Buy and complaining that Microsoft is on too many computers…
