Grey Gardens' was the best.

(A bunch of cell phone rings, etc. Then, the voice John McMartin-)

Welcome to Grey Gardens. Please turn off your cell phones. This is a musical. We already have songs.

I think they should get broadway legends in to do little sketches before each show. Ya know, like the Martin Scorcese commercial before the movies.

Cry-Baby: during the Overture the orch. plays a "bum bum bum" and then a group of men (offstage and most likely pre-rec.) say "take your seats" followed by more playing then, "bum bum bum, cell phones off" more playing then, "bum bum bum, unwrap your losenges"
It was very funny and unexpected.

CRY-BABY and GREY GARDENS are favorites of mine.
