Does Lindsay understand that no actual speed is used in the play?
If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.
"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”
~ Muhammad Ali
Say what you want, but the Cabaret producers are sitting back and LOVING all this free press. I scroll through my Twitter feed and right now its 85% about Shia at the show.
Shia will probably say that during the performance, he and the Emcee had tension as men, not as artists, but as men. And in the room, that became a hard thing to deal with.
The way it reads on TMZ it's possible he thought Studio 54 reopened with some cabaret act.
"Shia Lebeouf was detained by cops after acting crazy in a New York City club ... law enforcement sources tell TMZ.
Shia was at a cabaret show at the legendary Studio 54 Thursday night ... when he was smoking inside -- which is against the law -- and "alarming people" by his conduct by being extremely loud.
Police came and handcuffed the actor and taken to the cop shop, where's he's being held.
It's unclear if Labouf will be charged with a crime."
"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

This is obviously a very disturbing situation. I'll refrain from making fun of him, since there's always the chance he's actually suffering from sort sort of mental malady. He needs some sort of mental evaluation, quite possibly.
"Noel [Coward] and I were in Paris once. Adjoining rooms, of course. One night, I felt mischievous, so I knocked on Noel's door, and he asked, 'Who is it?' I lowered my voice and said 'Hotel detective. Have you got a gentleman in your room?' He answered, 'Just a minute, I'll ask him.'" (Beatrice Lillie)
Poor man. He clearly has demons to battle. Cabaret is getting SO much press, and none of it relying on Cumming or Williams. This morning, NBC4 NY had a reporter broadcasting live from 54th St & 8th Ave outside the theatre with the local police precinct in the background... Poor woman was having to report of road construction / jack hammering! I wasn't aware this story needed ro be THAT important.
