Woman singing behind us ruined Jesus Christ Superstar for me

We went to see Jesus Christ Superstar yesterday, May 10 at 6:30PM. It was my first time seeing Jesus Christ Superstar and I went in completely blind as I always have.

My gf and I went on our seats minutes before the show. Seated behind us were a group of 5 - 7 women in their 50s/60s. One woman in particular was talking nonstop about the musical and even told her friends na pagpasensiyahan siya kung mapakanta siya as she won't be able to help herself. I thought she was just kidding, I couldn't be more wrong.

As soon as the musical started, she indeed started singing as well! Okay, I thought maybe simula lang but she continued with the next songs. Nilingon ko siya (she was behind my gf) multiple times and only her friend on her right side would take notice of me. She sang 90% of the songs, and often she would start singing even before the actors! In between songs, she would provide commentary about what's happening and yung isang friend niya on her left ang laging magrereply sa kanya.

I admit I should've just told her, I couldn't handle the situation better, they were old women and I was with my gf. I thought I'd just learn to ignore her, but it was too distracting to enjoy the show.

Maski sa intermission, she would nonstop talk about what to watch out for in the second act. In between talking, she would nonstop sing, it was insufferable. I regret not going out to tell the ushers.

By Act 2, I was able to focus and ignore her better, but at this point, I haven't established as much connection with the characters and the plot. I'm sure I would've enjoyed it more. Still, the performances were incredible. And yes, she kept on singing.

Now, I'm thinking about seeing it a 2nd time while it's still here and try to fit it in my already busy schedule, not to mention the cost. By the way, this woman was on seat HH 27, 28 or 29.
Next time, I'm gonna have to practice calling audiences like her out properly.

Problem/Goal: We're gonna have our prenup photoshoot in August, but we're still deciding on the exact date and time, and location.

Context: Our pegs are Chungking Express prenup vibes and city pop, so we're thinking maybe Makati, BGC or maybe Binondo. We're open to suggestions. :)

Previous attempt: We initially thought Sundays starting madaling araw and that's what we told our P/V and HMUA, but we thought maybe mas mas maraming crowds nun? We're looking to reschedule if hindi pala talaga okay sa time na yun.

Which day of the week and time will work best for a prenup photoshoot in these areas?
Weekdays or weekends? Around 3PM - 9PM? Or more like 4AM - 10AM?

Salamat po! :)
