We saw "Jersey Boys" here at the Fox Theatre in St. Louis and the standing "O" was definitely deserved, but held until the end of the performance. What a great show.
To your point, maybe we are getting used to mediocrity and a standing "O" seems appropriate for anything that isn't lousy. It should be reserved for only the very best of performances. Just me humble O.
