Doesn't sound like it.

Strange that they perform their shows to the public without considering the possibility that people might not like it so much. The insolence of it all! Maybe they should have the audience sign a disclaimer, stating that they acknowledge the privelege that has been bestowed apon them by paying to see this WAAPA production and that they promise to not express an opinion that is in any way disparaging of how excellent the show is assumed to be and f*ck you, what do you know anyway?

By the way, I love the response of, "Well f*ck him, I'd like to see him try doing this". When you get out there into the big bad world, that petulant little comeback won't work so well because, sadly, quite a few audience members probably WON'T be singers and dancers. But they'll still have their own opinion. As inferior as it is in comparison to the towering majesty of the WAAPA grads almighty talent.
Imagine what's going to happen when these poor, affronted WAAPA doyens have to perform to the general public on a regular basis (if indeed that actually happens), and the audience doesn't automatically kneel down and start fellating them in the foyer after the show.
