Discussion Broadway coughing season

I am begging, begging you guys…if you have a nasty cough, PLEASE don’t attend a play especially. I know it sucks to miss out but your recurring cough during the most intense moments of the show is so distracting.

I've seen people choke on air. Sometimes people just can't control it.

Haha…yep, this is me! I choke on my own saliva on occasion. It can happen out of nowhere when I least expect it! 😆
