Wickedly Rude

At some screenings of “Wicked,”
I’ve read, it’s a thing
For some audience members
To feel free to sing.

They belt out the lyrics,
Since that is their choice,
So that no one can hear 
Any actress’s voice.

They got real defensive
When questioned and said
Anyone who objects
Should try streaming instead.

To sing in the theater
Brings them so much joy
That they can’t understand
Why this act should annoy.

If I buy a ticket,
All sound should exude
From the cast on the screen;
Singing patrons are rude.

Funny I was just reading the news and Dwayne Johnson says it's OK to sing along, I'd rather they didn't. Tom
