Well - if everyone in the audience were to lose his/her inhibitions in a
manner compatible with everyone else, it might be OK. This doesn't seem
likely, however. I think *some* discipline in an audience is necessary; if
you can't pay attention to the music/play/whatever, then it's hardly worth
paying your money.
