When somebody didn't like the play or the actors they were very open about it - some threw rotten fruit but most just booed extremely loudly.

Act one, scene three of Romeo and Juliet was exciting for Elizabethan audiences. The conflict of the fight scene made it very popular among audiences.
The behavior of Elizabethan audiences significantly influenced the dynamics of performances, creating an interactive and immersive experience. Spectators were vocal and reactive, often expressing their approval or disapproval through cheers, boos, and even physical interruptions, which encouraged actors to engage more directly with the crowd. This lively environment not only heightened the emotional impact of the plays but also shaped the way playwrights, like Shakespeare, crafted their works to cater to the tastes and expectations of the audience. Ultimately, the audiences played a crucial role in the success and evolution of theatrical performances during the Elizabethan era.
Yes, the Elizabethans had much longer attention spans and powers of concentration than people do nowadays. Compared to the Elizabethans, all 21st century people are ADHD.

In an Elizabethan theatre you could sit our stand. There were no roofs on the theatres back then. There were very props sometimes they didn't have props. They were allowed to speak out to what they thought of the play sometimes they through things at the performers if they didn't like the play.
The audience was rude and dispolite and threw chickening wings at her i know it is very sad for more info go to www.http/ allaboutelizabethanaudience.org now go there now!
Tragedy. The full title of the play is "The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet". Audiences of the Elizabethan times wanted to know what they were going to watch when they went to see a play, so playwrights often put it in the title. Hope this helps :)

You can find out by attending a play at Shakespeare's Globe in London or in another replica of an Elizabethan theatre.
Elizabethan Theatres were open roofed play houses built in the Renaissance
Elizabethan audiences enjoyed the plays they watched for pretty much the same reasons as people do today, which is why Elizabethan plays keep getting produced. They were probably quicker to understand what they heard than we are, and were better listeners (modern people expect a story to be shown to them, not told to them). Elizabethans particularly enjoyed wordplay that used puns and alliteration: that is why Shakespeare's Love's Labour's Lost was much more popular then than now. A lot of the wordplay in Much Ado is still accessible to modern audiences.
