‘BEAUTY’ SLEEP

Share via

I recently journeyed up to the Shrine Auditorium to see American Ballet Theatre’s “Sleeeeeeping Beauty,” and was amazed that Martin Bernheimer’s review had neglected to mention how many Orange County theatergoers had ventured north in order to applaud long before the end of every movement (“Van Hamel Refocuses ‘The Sleeping Beauty,’ ” March 6).

As for the hundreds conversing during the overtures, since L.A. audiences are much too sophisticated for such behavior, I presume they came from Bakersfield.
