The audience clapping beause this is, arguably, the most powerful point in the show. And keep in mind that the audince it not a normal audience. Its all alumni of the show. Theyre clapping a lot because they know the show so well and it's the final performace in a 16-year run. Its not because theyre being disrespectful, but theyre actually being very respectful to the final cast in their final performace, because that theater is full of the most die-hard Mizzies ever.

@passion2muse because it was the last performance probably

@dan10hen88 Well most last performances of a show really have A LOT of clapping and cheering, especially during a song.

[dan10hen88]

the applause is annoying...i hate when people applaud during the actual performance and who cares if they are being "respectful" to those on stage....if i was going to see Les Mis and everyone was clapping in the middle of the song i'd be pissed

Ahhhhh Nick Jonas. Lulz

eeeeeeeeeeee seeing this with my boyfriend in November! Im soooo excited because this is my second time seeing it but it'll be my boyfriends first live theater experience!

@passion2muse It's because it's the final performance.

[sparepart973]

@passion2muse It's the final performance attended by the show's most dedicated fans. Each time a new character enters they applaud to cheer them on. It's not proper theatre etiquette, sure, but I honestly don't find this behavior problematic in special occasions as final performances tend to be attended by hardcore fans.

@AvatarIroh Exactly. And that's why I would like to hear them. I get that they're being supportive and excited, but honestly, what if someone in the audience had never heard this song before and was trying to enjoy it? They wouldn't be able to hear it over the clapping. Clap all you want at the end of the song, but be quiet during a performance. It's common courtesy to others.

@noodle0912 do you even know what you are talking about? It was the last performance ever of this show....Can you even sing... that singing is very difficult and the clapping is awesome for a performer... you need to shut up because you are obnoxious...not the audience.

[noodle0912]

SHUT UP AUDIENCE.

Jesus fucking Christ, I would have gone mad if I EVER had to sit with an audience that obnoxious. Thank goodness I've never had to. That is just so......inconsiderate and rude. You can clap all you damn well want AT THE END. SOME OF US ARE TRYING TO LISTEN. We don't fork over $100+ to listen to you assholes.

@LaMisereHQ Dead serious. He was HORRIBLE the night I saw him. He practically pantomimed every word he said, his poor breath support made him sound like Mickey Mouse when he hit the tenor range, and did I mention his ever-present head shake?!? I am SO glad I only payed half-price to see him.
