I was there on the Saturday show. It was CHAOTIC. Many of the audience were disrespectful. I was sitting in the orchestra section, and the guy beside me was screaming whenever his favorite character shows up, whistling, and tapping his foot. Had to shut him off.
I don't think they were distracted, but I remembered one of the flute played his/her part too fast during Vector to Heavens (long day, hot day, mistake happens, I admire that he/she could move along with the song seamlessly after the mistake).
I went to the Harry Potter Orchestra the other day, but this time the conductor ENCOURAGED the audience to cheer whenever they see their favorite character on screen. I was confused at first, but these audience are FAR more respectful and bearable than the KH orchestra audience.
All in all, Kingdom Hearts Orchestra in NY was amazing, the fandom ruined it.
