It is important that we mind our behavior at all times, good behavior shows the level maturity a person has. When newcomers are attending Broadway shows New York City, most of them are not sure how to conduct themselves while the show is on. Being at Broadway is not the same as going to the movies theater, they are much quieter and one needs to be extra careful not to make any distractions for maximum enjoyment. The performers entertain live hence any misconduct will be disrespectful to them.

The most disregarded rule by most show lovers is switching off the phone. It should be the first thing that an individual needs to do when you get to the venue. This is because when the show is in progress the ringing sounds of the phone in the room can be very distractive. In the extremely quiet environment, the ringing tone could distract the whole arena. It is very disrespectful to distract the performers who put so much energy rehearsing the plays to entertain you. Switching off the phone ensures such distractions do not happen.

It is most theaters in Broadway, the rooms are darkened and only the stage is lit. Its advisable not to text during this show because the lighting from your cell phone can be distracting to the attendants of the show. Interfering with the set mood kills the fun of the performance because the audience will keep turning to see who is causing the distraction.

Eating before the show commences is very important. Broadway Shows are not like the movie theaters where you can carry popcorns and crisps to munch while watching. An individual needs to eat before the show commences or wait for the break if the desire to munch on something becomes too much. Munching during the show can be irritating to your neighbor.

A Broadway theater is usually very quiet, the talking is left to the performers. It is, therefore, advisable that a person refrains from talking as the show progresses. Occasional whispering can be tolerated but the making loud comments are disturbing to the people in attendance. One should let the other people enjoy what they came to see.

In case it is a musical, it is advisable not to sing along to the music. Its important to respect your fellow audience members who have paid a lot of money to come to see the show. Singing along to the musical will distract other audience members.

There is no serious dress code for the opening nights, you are allowed to dress as you wish. It only advisable to keep warm to avoid being affected by the air conditioners that may be cranked up during the show. Broadway shows are to be enjoyed so the code should be casual.

For big shows, the arena could be sold out. This limits the movement of people in the hall. Its important that you are mindful of the space of your neighbor. Avoid leaning on them, hogging their armrest, among other things that might be annoying.
