The most disturbing thing is how the writer managed to shoehorn segregation into the article.

Actually segregation was a real thing. We must not forget the past. Please respect people who are different to yourself.

Irrelevant to what I said. Read properly.

The article is about cinema audiences being historically divided over what is allowed in theaters. Segregation is a part of that history.
Clearly you don’t like being reminded of it but it happened and not so long ago that it is irrelevant.

I hope Wicked introducing sing-a-long versions in cinemas kickstarts a trend of offering sing-a-long versions of musical and concert films in the future. Some films of this genre have done it in the past but it's not commonplace. It's good to give fans the option instead of potentially having your movie going experience ruined by some off-key berk thinking they can sing like Celine, Barbara, or Whitney when in reality they couldn't carry a tune in a bucket.

Nothing could be more annoying that some pillock singing along while I watch a flick, mind you I can’t stand musicals. If you can behave with decorum then stay at home and act the fool.

Last thing I want to hear at a movie theatre is a bunch of women yowling to the music (and it will generally be women).
Want to sing? Watch at home.

That’s precisely the reason many people prefer to stay home and stream from the comfort of their own sofa and watch in peace without having to deal with idiots around them!

So was the holocaust but that doesn’t really justify them being included in an article about singing in movie theaters.

Yall are just too young to remember the Rocky Horror Picture Show, aren't you? The ultimate audience participation film.
