      That's why people propose in that manner. So it's impossible to say no.

    Ohhhhhh, man. If we'd ever pulled that shit in acting school we'd have been kicked out so fast we wouldn't have time to get our makeup off. "THIS IS NOT HOW PROFESSIONAL ACTORS BEHAVE!"

    Ah, grad school.

      If any of my professional actor friends pulled this shit they'd get replaced by the understudy. This dude is an ass; people payed to be transported to another world. Not snapped back into reality so some jerk could propose. Do at the curtain call if you want a public proposal, not in the middle of the damn show!

      Yep. As soon as I heard this I wondered if he still had his job because that is super unprofessional. I'd be super pissed if I were in the audience.

    I suspect that this was a planned publicity stunt.

    I'm sure the engagement is real, but this couple had probably already planned to get married and told people associated with the show. Then somebody got the idea to pull this "propose during the performance" stunt to generate publicity for the show — and it looks like it worked wonders.

    I'd never heard of this show before I read this post — had you? So there you go.

      I proposed after the curtain call of my fiance's production of Guys and Dolls. She definitely didn't expect it and only the artistic director, conductor, board operator and SM knew about it (so I could get permission, lights and mic). I had luckily worked at that theatre before and had the pull to get it done.

    Ahh fuck people who propose in public like this in front of an audience. The lady is practically forced to say yes, or risk looking like a total bitch.

      Well, you can always just take it back once you are in private.

      I feel like I read about/see one of these elaborate proposal stories like once a week at least now. Do people not do this stuff privately anymore? Is it not considered a true proposal unless its youtube worthy? My friend just got engaged a few weeks back, and it was like this big thing involving all her friends and family. Its like its not even about the 2 people involved anymore.

      Sorry...I'm a bit of a bitter cynic. :/

    This is a British Panto. It's all about audience participation and stopping the show is not that unusual. I expect something crazy to happen when I go see a Panto.

      They're wonderful. Although I think you need to have grown up with them to really 'get it' though. I can understand how they seem totally fucked-up to non-Brits. ;-)

      If you want a double scoop, consider the Afrikaner, the original progenitors of apartheid.

      Wow, simmer down now. Its a JOKE! Does not entail soccer, uh, football players, apartheid or any real or perceived hatred of the Dutch! It is a quote from Goldmember.

      Its called a sense of humor, you should get one they're nice!

      Agreed. Way to make the whole show about you instead of the "thousands" who were in attendance. Also, public proposals are the worst, as is this guy.

      Maybe Peter took so long to propose he didn't realize Wendy had grown up, gotten married, and had kids and grandkids without him.

      And that he was proposing to Wendy's daughter's hyperactive and simpleminded au pair, Olga.

      I love these comments doubly because the play is Peter Pan. They are acting like Angels in America was interrupted. It's Peter Pan! I worked in a theater for years, only two types of people go see Peter Pan.

      1. People that really love Peter Pan.

      2. People who have free tickets because their friend bought a subscription so they could get Lion King tickets and the booking agency knows you can put any crappy play on the subscription with Lion King and it will still sell.
