Seattle theater etiquette is a hot mess

I went to see the Lion King broadway on paramount and was so disappointed by the audience. There was almost consistent talking, whispering, and noises in general, making it so distracting to hear what was going on. The people around me kept talking, non-stop crinkling of their chip bag for almost the entirety of the show and some people even had phones out? Then the people behind me, who were most consistent in making these noises dropped their water bottle, the kind you buy from concession, and they pulled out their flashlight to try to find it in the middle of an act. Not only that, they tapped me on the shoulder and wanted me to help them find it as well. Then there’s the people leaving immediately once the last number ends. And of course, when I left, I saw all the trash left over from the folks sitting behind me and in other areas on the floor. I feel the performers, the staff at the theater and other theater attendees deserve more respect than that! We live in a society after all
