It seems the latest form of peaceful protest in the entertainment world, is the ultimate power-play, the storm out. People have been storming out of the following poor performances. When all these shows were $120 or more a ticket you can't blame the fans turning...towards the door.
1.The Sting Concert - post storm out fans declared they couldn't hear and it was too packed out. (Possibly not Sting's fault?)
2. John Malkovich's Casanova Musical - The Giacomo Variations - my best friend stormed out of this when a monotone Malkovich asked for a script mid-performance and lip-synced as a "singing double" performed his numbers.
3. The Barry White concert - Having his back to the audience the whole show wasn't that engaging after all.
4. The Whitney Houston concert - when she stopped to have coughing fits and drank a cup of "water" during the famous"I Will Always Love You" key change, the title of the song became a lie for the fans.
5. The Spice Girls Reunion Concert - the (ex) fans managed to put up with the shows, it was the girls themselves that stormed out, cancelling the remainder of their gigs mid-tour.
