On occasion I will do that, but that is not the main job of the
reviewer. I suppose it depends on that peculiarity of the event. I once
criticized a conductor who kept shushing the audience every time they
wanted to express their praise. I will almost always indicate if the
audience was small or large, and would probably report on some weird
aspect of audience behavior if doing so added value.
