This is something that often perplexes me, too. And it just may be that theatre isn't quite as passive as, say, television and film. I don't want to be completely cynical about it and say it's because people have infinitesimal attention spans or it's not (usually) laden with a host of special effects. That would be condescending. Anyway, it's their loss.

It also makes me a bit sad that it takes getting a teen idol naked to get people talking about the theatre at all.
