(in Ricky Gervais’ voice) Ah, the age-old debate: to sing or not to sing in a movie theater. I mean, it’s not exactly the most pressing issue of our time, is it? But, you know, people get worked up about the most ridiculous things. Like, “Don’t sing in the cinema, it’s annoying.” Oh, come on, it’s not like someone’s going to burst into an operatic rendition of ‘I Will Always Love You’ during theрешdie of a blockbuster action film… although, that would be quite funny, now that I think about it.
(cut to Jimmy Carr’s voice) You know, Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson has come out and said, “Sing! You’ve paid your money, you’ve entered a musical and you’re in it. Sing.” Ah, brave words, Dwayne, brave words. Although, if I’m being honest, I’m not sure I’d want to sit next to someone singing along to ‘Let It Go’ from ‘Frozen’. That’s just a recipe for disaster… or a really exciting, vodka-fueled karaoke night.
(back to Ricky Gervais’ voice) Now, some theaters have started issuing warnings, asking people to keep their vocal talents to themselves. AMC, for example, was planning to show a 30-second ad urging viewers to keep it down. But let’s be real, folks, it’s not like that’s going to stop anyone. I mean, have you ever tried to shush a room full of excited musical theater fans? It’s like trying to herd cats on Red Bull.
(in Lee Evans’ voice) And what about ‘Wicked’, the new movie inspired by the hit Broadway musical? Angela Weir, a fan who attended one of the first screenings, said it was like a big, cheesy sing-along. “It started slowly, then people were listening to each other, it was like they were encouraging each other. It was a beautiful scene…” Ah, bless her heart. She makes it sound like some sort of cinematic, communal therapy session.
(in Rowan Atkinson’s voice) Now, I must say, as a bit of a grumpy old man, I can see both sides of the argument. On the one hand, it’s nice to let your hair down and have a good old-fashioned sing-song. But on the other hand, there’s nothing worse than sitting next to some enthusiastic crooner who thinks they’re the next Idina Menzel. I mean, can’t we just have a quiet, dignified viewing experience, like civilized humans?
(back to Ricky Gervais’ voice) In conclusion, folks, the debate rages on. Sing or don’t sing in the cinema, it’s up to you. But if you do choose to warble along to ‘Moana 2’ or ‘Wicked’, just be sure to do it in tune. Trust me, your fellow moviegoers will thank you.
(closing with Jimmy Carr’s voice) And remember, if all else fails, just pretend you’re a tone-deaf Michael Jackson impersonator. That’s what I do. Works like a charm.
Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson, the beloved star of the upcoming animated film ‘Moana 2’, is urging fans to throw caution to the wind and sing their hearts out to their favorite tunes, despite traditional film etiquette dictating otherwise.
The debate over whether or not singing is acceptable in movie theaters has been gaining momentum, particularly with the release of highly anticipated films like ‘Wicked’, which has sparked a heated discussion among moviegoers. While some argue that singing can be a distraction and disrupt the viewing experience of others, Johnson sees it as an integral part of the fun. “Sing! You’ve paid your hard-earned money for a ticket, you’ve entered a musical, and you’re now a part of it – so sing your heart out,” Johnson exclaimed in a recent BBC red carpet interview, emphasizing the importance of audience participation.
Following the premiere of ‘Wicked’, a movie adaptation of the hit Broadway musical starring Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande, some theaters have taken to issuing notices, politely encouraging viewers to refrain from singing along and instead save their vocal talents for home. In fact, the AMC movie theater chain was planning to air a 30-second public service announcement urging viewers to keep their voices down, as reported by ‘The Daily Beast’.
However, not everyone is adhering to traditional concert etiquette. In fact, many fans are embracing the opportunity to sing along in theaters, creating a sense of community and camaraderie among strangers. Angela Weir, who attended one of the first screenings of ‘Wicked’, recalled the experience, saying, “It started slowly, with just a few people singing along, but then it spread like wildfire. People were listening to each other, encouraging each other, and it was a truly beautiful scene – until, of course, the ushers stepped in to intervene.”
‘Moana 2’, which hits theaters on November 27 in the United States, just days after the premiere of ‘Wicked’, promises to be another musical masterpiece, although Lin-Manuel Miranda, who was nominated for an Oscar for the original ‘Moana’ soundtrack, was not involved in the creation of the songs for the sequel this time around.
