Somebody took a flash photo of Audra and Michael's nude scene today — Page 2

Jordan Catalano said: "Cape Twirl of Doom said: "I remember when I saw “Take Me Out”, before the nude scenes occurred security would stand in the side aisles specifically watching the audience and looking for anyone taking pictures. I think I’ve seen other shows that did the same. "

If I remember correctly, they did this with “Equus”, as well.

"But did having security work? I recall seeing nude pictures on the internet of Daniel from the stage of Equus.

It truly boggles my mind that people will see these articles, see actors calling out people on social media for filming/taking photos, seeing people like Lin-Manuel Miranda and Sara Bareilles calling out people who have distracted them by filming (Sara posted a rant on Instagram, LMM has not been shy about calling out people either on Twitter or DURING THE PERFORMANCE-literally, he changed lyrics because of this), and yet there will be people who think they're entitled to see these shows, and will continue to record, take photos, and record the show through audio methods. IT'S ENOUGH. What do people have to do to get audience members to understand that this is NOT OKAY.

How far does a story like this have to go before people realize IT"S NOT OKAY TO TAKE PHOTOS during a show???

I want to know what goes through someones head when they decide it's okay to take photos. I just don't understand.

If Ive learned anything in my 22 years of living, most people (Americans, really) are generally entitled. Regardless of class or whatever, everyone is in their own world, with very little regard to the rest of the world. Its sadly how the public operates.

Maybe I'm around too many terrible people then.

I mean Im not getting into this ageist-ness here, but I don't hang with people age for that reason :)

Not anymore. Years ago, that was true. Now, people of all ages have little regard for the rest of the world.

Perhaps if theaters hired real visible security versus elderly ushers, people wouldn't act like uncouth trolls

So this. It's pointless to complain. When Edmund White's lover was playing on Broadway in Eqquus is the 70's, people always snapped pictures when he got naked. This has been going on as long as there have been such things to photograph at live performances. The cast of Hair reported similar issues. It will never end. Ushers will just have to continue being vigilant, though I'm not sure cameras/phones can be taken away from audience members. They can be asked to leave, but my guess is that once they've snapped the photo, they don't care.

I assume it was flash because the scene was darkly lit. There is no way to monetize such a photo because any publication that used it would be doubly sued. Just someone's sadistic pleasure is all I can think.
