theater--How to pray

I originally planned to see the play on April 7th (1), but we couldn't, because we had to leave for Canada on that day. Finally, I watched the play on April 14th with my friend. It was my second time watching a (2) play. The first time I watched a musical play was on last summer on Broadway. It was amazing, but unfortunately I did not understand most part of it (3) because of my poor English. While the play How to Pray is easier to understand than the musical one, but there were still many parts of the plot that were beyond my understanding. Nonetheless, I still enjoyed the atmosphere.

The theater was not like what I imagined. It was small; the scenery was very simple; there weren't too many seats. There were about one hundred and thirty seats. I was surprised that it was fully packed. I thought it should be a very wonderful play that attracts a lot of people. Most of the audience members (4) are elderly. I thought my friend and I might be the youngest ones there. I entered the theater at twenty-five past seven. There were still many empty seats, but I did not choose good seats because of lack of experience. Our seats were at the corner, so we had to turn our heads to the right the whole time. I have learned my lesson now. After I sat down, I took a picture for memory and then waited for the play to begin.

(1) British: date first, then month
American: month first, then date

(2) "...watching the play" means it was your second time watching How to Pray
"...watching a play" means it was your second time watching any play

(3) you can use "most of it" or "most parts of it," both are correct

(4) audience refers to everybody who is there.  If you want to talk about the people in the audience, use audience member, or just person/people.
