I'm going to the theater for the first time, what are some basic rules I should follow?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
At the theater, it's generally considered polite to turn off your phone, refrain from talking during the performance, and wait for intermission to get up from your seat.<|im_end|>

What if I need to leave my seat during the show?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
If you need to leave your seat, try to do so during a scene change or a musical number, and be as quiet as possible so you don't disturb the other audience members.<|im_end|>

Is it customary to applaud after each song in a musical?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
No, it's not necessary to applaud after every song in a musical. Wait for the audience around you to start applauding, and then join in – usually, this happens after big numbers or at the end of the show.<|im_end|>
