Shows you almost left at intermission, ended up enjoying?- Page 2

I recently saw "Jekyll and Hyde" at the Kennedy Center, in DC. Though well-acted and well-sung, the story was trite and the music boring. I stayed and no, it did not improve.

A few weeks ago, I saw "Phantom" for the fifth time (seventh, if you count twice in Las Vegas, but the Vegas version didn't have an intermission). Two women nearby, who did not seem to speak English, left after the first act. The other people sitting near me were incredulous -- who leaves "Phantom" in the middle, even if they don't understand the words? My theory is that the ladies thought the show was over when the chandelier fell.
