Dorothy123,
Saw the touring show of "Water For Elephants" recently.
If you haven’t seen it, don’t; it’s a celebration of infidelity.
But, in the southern US city in which I saw it, when the male lead first kissed the female lead (she is married in the story), there was a collective groan from the audience.
And in this city, every show performance gets a standing ovation.
Not this one. And everything about it, the singing and dancing, the costumes, the sets, etc., were very good.
They didn’t like the story.
