Just how many of the kids in today's audiences actually have a clue who Ann
Miller actually was?  As someone who has been to RHPS a number of times in
the past 25 years, both professionally and as an audience member, its sad to
say that the show has degenerated (if one can say that about this show) from
one where the audience yelled back creatively funny and/or clever stuff to
one where the audience yells back "f-this", "f-you", etc.  The sad thing
about it is that today's audience finds it just as funny.  Humor seems to
simply revolve around saying the f-word.

I guess that I'm getting old.  Maybe I'll start listening to WODS.
