An older lady and a kid were at South Park in the row in front of me. They didn't make it 10 minutes.
I think that a lot of people in the Boomer and older age ranges never really understood the idea of adult animation, so they just assume that animated shows and films are made for kids.
(But my favorite Parker/Stone walk-out was the obviously Mormon couple who sat in front of us for the first 30 minutes of The Book of Mormon. The guy had the word "Mormon" embossed on his belt. They didn't do their homework before they bought those tickets.)
10 minutes mean they made it through “Hello” and maybe “Two by two”
They didn’t even get to the good stuff. Hasa diga Eebowai, I believe, Turn it off, All-American Prophet.
Man that show was so good. One of the few shows I’ve seen twice (that and Hamilton). The first time my wife was sick so I went with my BIL, but my wife was able to come the second time around.
For the record, im not rich. Solidly middle class. Our local theatre that does Broadway tours sells season tickets every spring and the payment plans make it very reasonable. It’s become a tradition that this what I get my wife for Mother’s Day. We get like a bunch of date nights planned out months out in advance so we can be sure to arrange sitters.
In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if the Mormon above was a season ticket holder.
Was it released as a movie? Or do you mean the musical? If so, that's the absolute best thing I've ever seen on stage. Also the only one that was so good I went to watch it a second time :-D
It was the musical, so it was not a cheap ticket. I don't know how they didn't know it was not going to be supportive of their worldview.
That's actually a perfect analogy for what I know about their worldview.
