Patti almost lost her balance but I think she was startled by a flash. Then she turned around and yelled "stop!" And said she had seen these people photographing 3 times and it was rude and she refused to continue until they were removed.
She thanked the rest of the audience for our good theatre etiquette. More to come!
It's not wise to incur the wrath of Patti LuPone! from RC in Austin, Texas
"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)
I think that Patti should patrol the aisles during every performance of a show with an obnoxious 13 year old fan base, and whack them when they start yelping at inappropiate times.
I'm a professional. Whenever something goes wrong on stage, I know how to handle it so no one ever remembers. I flash my %#$&.
"Jayne just sat there while Gina flailed around the stage like an idiot."
Tonya Pinkins: Then we had a "Lot's Wife" last June that was my personal favorite. I'm still trying to get them to let me sing it at some performance where we get to sing an excerpt that's gone.
Tony Kushner: You can sing it at my funeral.
Yes, ljay, that's by request. Also, the time when she screamed at the man with the camera during/after Rose's Turn was a true story.
