When you see a musical at a theater do you sing loudly with the actors or do you sit there quietly and listen to the talent (unless it is specifically a sing-a-long show)? You are silent. The new, "Wicked," movie features songs many people know from the Broadway show, but theaters have been telling fans to not sing during the flicks unless they go to a special showing. This is good! I want to hear Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo singing when/if I get a chance to see, "Wicked," not some random person who could possibly be quite off-key. Most people agree with me.
Sure, movie-going is a shared experience where we oftentimes laugh together, cry together, and sometimes even yell in surprise at a scary movie together. That said, I don't need to hear a whole theater attempt to stumble through, "Popular," because many of us (including me) do not sing especially well. I love it when people are passionate about a movie, but maybe just tap your foot along with the song or mouth some words, don't scream aloud that you're defying gravity, please. It's just disrespectful to everyone else.
