Generally, it is considered bad luck to wish someone “good luck” in a theater. Before a performance, it is traditional for the cast to get together and prevent bad luck by wishing each other bad luck. English actors used to say to each other “I hope you break a leg,” and even today actors and musicians often say "break a leg” to each other instead of “good luck" before they go on stage.
Yes appearance matters.
When Susan Boyle first walked onto the stage of the Britain's Got Talent TV show, people immediately thought that she looked like a 47-year-old single woman who lived alone with her cat (which in fact she was). Nobody thought for a minute that she had a chance of doing well on the show, or could ever become a star. But when she opened her mouth and started singing I Dreamed a Dream, from the musical Les Miserables, everybody was amazed. After the video of her performance went viral, journalists started talking about how wrong it is to stereotype people into categories, and how we should learn, once and for all, “not to judge a book by its cover.
But social scientists say that there are reasons why we judge people based on how they look. On a very basic level, judging people by their appearance means putting them quickly into categories. In the past, being able to do this was vitally important, and humans developed the ability to judge other people in seconds. Susan Fiske, a professor of psychology and neuroscience at Princeton University, said that traditionally, most stereotypes are linked to judging whether a person looks dangerous or not. “In prehistoric times, it was important to stay away from people who looked aggressive and dominant,” she said.
