I wanted to, but got too scared.

Yes, why? Is something supposed to happen? I wish I never said it now...

Yes! ..... in my head! I think I have!

Do you mean "That Scottish play"?

I wouldn't dare.

Oh! NOW you've done it!

I haven't yet but there will be a day when I'll stand up on a chair and yell the name to the heavens!

Worked with a director who had a successful production of Macbeth, so when we went into the theatre on another production, he said "Macbeth, Macbeth, Macbeth" really loudly in front of all the actors (Some of whom were famous). The show we did was a huge success, playing to full houses for the length of its run.

yes...i did so during a show, which is when it really works...and it's supposed to be really bad karma, like everything and anything that could go wrong usually does....but if u don't believe in it, u'll be fine

It's kind of hard not to if you are performing Macbeth, don't you think? ;)

said it many times. i'm still alive and as far as i know, so are all the people who heard me say it.
i've also whistled onstage a few times and never yet had a fly bar fall on my head.

Yes I have, but I'm a technician, not an actor. My fellow techies didn't seem to mind, but I wouldn't dare say it in front of one of the actors.
