I'm not denying the fact that you should have to wait.....I'm just saying the wait should be reduced a little. Like to 6 hours.
There isn't just one theatre....plenty of planets and cities have theatres, so the overcrowding issue isn't even real, and since the performances only last 2 minutes, I'm sure no one would have a problem waiting for someone else to finish, or just go to another theatre if they can't wait 2 minutes.
Final Performance is 5 minutes with a 3 minute period of being able to talk with the audience.
Yes 8 minutes is not much longer, but if there are a couple people waiting on the stage the way it worked was that the stage did not clear til the person spoke with the manager again. With there being no wait, that person usually got dibs on the next performance. It got a little ugly.
Yes there are many theatres, but most people will be using the theatres in the most populated cities...Coronet and Theed (and the Theed one is not close to anything). Yes I may not have a wait in Narmle, but I only go there once a month or so.

Well I personally like it. (I seem to always be the Devil's advocate in the forums.)
Because, I think it adds more tension and realism to the performance. If it was not in there, everyone would just take the audition... not take it seriously... spam a bunch of macros.......... fail, /rinse;/repeat until they succeed, and that would be lame.
imho
Go ahead.... counter my argument........ don't just be a coward one-star ninja...

Patience is a virtue. ?
My thought exactly which is why the time sinks should be built in for everyone doing the quest by making them wait after each pass. But /shrug to late now.
Hmm btw I didn't mean by the counter to say that I 1 starred you. 
I pretty much only 1 star bot support threads.

I could see waiting 24 hours for a Jedi quest or some other extremely high end content, like certain spawns.
But to have to wait 24 hours to play a song again? What was the reasoning behind this? Why does everything have to be a time sink now?
This is a direct result of the DEVs not being bright enough to actually develop any real content. They have no clue as to how real people who might actually have some social skills would act so they just put in a poorly conceived and implemented "quest" and put in an overly long timer to try and strech it into something more than a few minutes long.
SOE, hire some people who know what they are doing, the ones you have now sure don't.
Sorry Lebob now your starting to sound assinine.
24 hours is eccessive, 8 to 12 would of been plenty
As far as getting the crowd to respond from the stage sorry its not working for all, with a macro setup to /conv the closest ones were ok but the majority of them wouldnt.
Lag can be a real pain in the behind with this as its the reason I failed the very first performance.
