I’m sure actors know this and don’t feel offended, even if I’m also sure they might want more reactions from the audience. I mean, I’m no performer but I know it’s kind of disheartening to perform with that kind of audience.

Overall, it’s something most of us are not used to but hey, that’s culture for you. If we were Japanese we’d probably find the culture of always wanting to sing and dance along weird too.
