Next I want to see Hope Davis grab some crazy IN THERAPY fan by the hair and throw her to the street on her ass.

I wonder what would happen if Patti Lupone interrupted Gandolfini in a show, or vice versa.

He's definitely the LAST person I'd ever want to be thrown out of anywhere by.

How did the fan get onstage anyway?

Not a good analogy as that would not at all be in keeping with her character, unlike Gandolfini. Also, the name of the show is In Treatment.

I'm surprised that this crazy fan wasn't charged. I hope that they made some effort, via their security people, that he was harmless.

The universe would implode.

Presumably by walking down the aisle and climbing on to the stage. It doesn't seem that hard, and frankly I'm (pleasantly) surprised it doesn't happen at more shows.

The fact that this story was reported in the U.K. yellow press and not picked up here suggests a degree of skepticism about its truthfulness.
