theatre decorum wicked

Went to see Wicked last nite. Cute. I was facinated by the attire and slovenliness of the patrons. Cut off jeans, dirty tee shirts, cell phone use during the performance. Sort of like a beatnik coffee house in the 50's and 60's. Maybe I am an old far* but I think that the venue and the performance should be shown some respect. Or am I from forgotten place in the dark ages? Sort of like most of the things around me. Conversations in 140 characters or less (twitter, etc.) are the norm. 'Hooking up' is the relationship choice. McWhatever is going out to dinner. Snapshots are of vulvas not faces.
