Broadhurst Theatre Being SUED!!

He looks kinda crazy.

It's Otho from Beetlejuice at age 80!

I wondered when someone would start the lawsuit parade against a theater

How about suing a critic who says a show is wonderful when you hated it? I think this will be the start of a flurry of suits as trial lawyers are ever vigilant to sue anyone & anything ( for the most trivial of reasons)in their quest for the green.

This country is suit crazy

Looks like a deer caught in the headlights

does anyone....still wear.....an ascot?

He should be suing The Post for using that picture of him.

I read the article and then realized I was at a performance of History Boys (maybe about a month and half ago but I don't quite remember...pretty recently) where there was a bunch of shouting and the ushers came and took someone out. I was in a standing room spot at the complete opposite side of the orchestra, so I didn't actually SEE what happened. I wonder if this guy was at that performance. Weird...

curly120, I was at the stage door over a month ago and I heard scuttlebut about a brawl in SRO. I wonder were all three of these incidents one and the same, or is there something funny in the water over at the Broadhurst?!?!?

Something tells me he didn't tell them why he was standing, and instead probably went into some old bitchy rant. If so, then of course they have every right to kick him out.

Now as to the staff, I'm sure it wasn't the ushers - I mean, have you seen them? - it's probably the guys at the front who scan the tickets and control the crowd, that may have pulled him out. I know people that have dealt with Shubert security, and it's not kid gloves, I'll tell ya.

I'll drink to that.

Hey. It's 2006. People sue McDonald's because it made them fat. Women sue their boyfriends because they bit their lip when they were making out.

They also sue home accessory companies for not putting labels on CD wracks saying "NOTICE: THIS IS NOT A LADDER."

Sorry...I had to add that.

Jordan....the same kind of issue with me when I was there at ITW.

I saw ITW during its last 3 weeks...the show was not sold out, of course, but it was pretty full. A full two rows were pretty much 85% empty in the back. I decided during a pause in the performance to sit down (as the ushers said this would be okay, since it wasn't sold out and we didn't distract anybody)...well...IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WOLF EATING LITTLE RED SCENE they come marching over to me and ask me "IS THIS YOUR SEAT?!" I said, of course, no, but I was SRO and I'd been told I could sit down if seats were empty...they pulled me out, had a latecomer sit there, and then moved me elsewhere...

Now, I understand that it was that person's seat, but they should have handled the situation between scenes, instead of distracting everybody. So I can see how there could have been a problem.
