And I find this post the most offensive , racist post in a very long time..
it's fear mongering heinous closed minded, jaded, racists like you that continue to show a wonderful 'light' on latinos.
Do yourself a favor and DON'T GO!
you can be as puerto rican as you want to be- it's still a racist comment. and speaking about 'your people' doesn't excuse you from how little minded that comment is.
You have a whole pile of whoop-ass coming your way.
Theaternut has a viewpoint, that is all. Perhaps in form, rather than substance, the view can be construed as racist (though it is not necessarily so).
Prove him wrong with opposite viewpoints rather than cut to the racist card: that is far to easy an oratory tactic and name calling is really no better.
I did. I edited my comment already. Upon re reading it I can see how one can read it as being offensive. Sad that we can't talk about things without going to the easiest way of getting up in arms.

What is there to talk about but your racism? Sorry that every time you see Evita, the latinos will unwrap their stinky tacos as they sit on their smelly ponchos and chat in Spanish throughout.
Wait until the Met puts it on, on White People night.

It was a very heavy Latin crowd with entire family's. Food, wrappers , and conversation going full swing during the show. With Ricky Martin in it...I am sure once the show settles into its run it will get a similar crowd.. This time with the addition of cell phones in hand. I am wondering if the aggravation would be worth it.
Well, sorry that the "heavy Latin crowd" ruined your experience.

I'll take up the gauntlet.
It may well not be racist or otherwise offensive to complain about arguably distracting and inappropriate audience behavior.
It's a question of debate whether it's racist/homophobic/fill in the blank to call into question the fact that members of certain demographic groups are behaving in arguably inappropriate ways during a performance. A debate I'm prepared to concede, for the sake of the argument, may well be worth having freely but courteously should the occasion arise.
But what is undeniably racist and offensive is judging that an audience will likely prove to be objectionable based on noting its BEHAVIOR DURING A CURTAIN CALL and its ethnic makeup.
Maybe you should e-mail the producers and let them know the Latin crowd ruined your experience, so they can get them banned from entering - NO LATINOS ALLOWED!

Henrik I see your point. my reference to the on line clips was not intended to single out last nights audience during the curtain call. When I saw the **** load of cameras and lit objects pointed at the actors it reminded me of when I saw the Paul Simon show ( what the heck was it called) at that same theater. It just reminded me of my bad experience.
