I didn't see any postings about this incident:

I witnessed an historic moment in the theatre tonight! I was seeing "A Streetcar Named Desire" on Broadway starring Blair Underwood, Nicole Ari Parker, Wood Harris, and Daphne Rubin-Vega. There was a lady in the very FRONT ROW recording the show on her cellphone. During an iconic scene, Daphne Rubin-Vega (Stella) went to the edge of the stage and said directly to the audience member "GIVE ME THAT!!!" without breaking character! She was so commanding that the lady immediately handed her the cellphone. Then Stella put the phone on the nightstand and carried on with the play without missing a beat. The audience broke into thunderous applause, glad that the actor had made this bold move. NOTE TO AUDIENCES OUT THERE: RECORDING OF ANY KIND IS ILLEGAL AND NOT PERMITTED IN THE THEATRE!!!

There's a thread on it.
Her comment was reported earlier as "give it here," which seemed classier.
