It is so funny, my worst experience (in spite of it being free) was also a production of 'Three Penny Opera' ... In 1989 Sting was starring in a production and opening in Washington, DC's National theater http://www.scarlet.nl/~gugten/three-opera.html where we had comp tickets in the third row! Unfortunately Sting was trying it unmiked and his unmiked voice doesn't make it to the 3rd row. He was getting sung off the stage by the chorus, even though he was clearly giving it his all. We didn't leave early, that is truly unforgiveable when you have comp tickets.
