Saturday Count
Yet another theatrical superstition is
this: It is bad luck to count the
audience. The reason seems obvious, since if there are so few people in the
house that they can actually be counted, it is likely a small number. And
performing for a small number of people might make the performer feel depressed
and give a lackluster performance.
Of course, audience counts can be made
via the number of tickets sold, so it is probably best that the performers aren’t
made aware of this number for the reason stated above.
All in all, it is best not to count the
audience.
