Just last week at Moulin Rouge an older woman actually argued back to an usher while she was filming More More More segment."

^^NO WAY. Seriously??? That's awful. What happened?"

She pulled out her phone and started filming it, the usher waved the flashlight at her and told her to stop, she nodded but kept on filming... so the usher kept telling her to put it away, she argued back saying the show was already over... when she saw the usher wasn’t giving up she stopped filming... the second the usher stepped away she started to film again...

And this was a premium seat btw, center orchestra, 5 rows from the stage.

I admit, I'm one of those annoying folks who takes a photo of the Playbill before the show to post on FB/IG. A bit sad I won't be able to (presuming the phones will be sealed before Playbills are given out), but I get it.

Also worth noting from the job listing is the possibility of the show extending through July 19.

At FLS, you could from the area behind the seats. The pouches were distributed when you entered the aisles.

All theatres should have these now. Ignorant people using their phones ruin it for everyone else.

The only reason as to why they are doing it for this show is that there’s a good deal of nudity in it. Hell, I’m willing to bet that if these were around for the recent revival of Equus they would be used there too.

Trust me, these will never become a “thing” at all Broadway
Theatres. The only reason why it’s being done here is because the the funding for this, the producers and the theatre landlords are all one in the same. Second Stage. But, none of the commercial companies such as Shubert or Nederlander would ever spend their own money on this. They want Broadway to
be a good event. And, as someone who works as house staff, many of the issues would fall on us. People upset that they have to use it etc. For example, a buddy of mine worked at a The Booth during Freestyle Love Supreme. I asked him
About how those pouches are working and the response he said was it was a cluster **** of a dumpster fire.

In addition to the full video I have of the OBC.

Thanks! It's sad how happy that makes me, but here we are. Hopefully they do the same at the Hayes."

I’m happy they’re doing this. Yes, it’s inconvenient, but not more so than seeing/hearing phones during performances. I also like to take pics of my playbill from my seat, but another idea is to do so after the show with the playbill against the backdrop of the marquee. Could make a great photo.

"I just saw that Second Stage will be requiring all attendees to put their phones and Apple watches into Yondr pouches.  Good for them!!  The size of the Helen Hayes makes the process of opening the pouches on the way out a bit easier -- but it would be great to see this start happening in all theatres!"

Just curious, can you get your phone at intermission to check up on your children for example?

This is just stupid.

I went through this at Freestyle Love Supreme and while it wasn't as annoying as it could have been, there's really no reason for it.

Take a picture outside the theater in front of the marquee and holding the Playbill. Variety is the spice of life, you know!

yeah, but anybody can do that, all you have to do is buy a playbill and then stand in front of the theater and act like you saw the show. Lolz. I can see people on Instagram doing that for likes, bragging rights or to be with the popular crowd. Haha

You've never bought a playbill for show you never saw? I certainly have, I collect them. What age do you consider a millennial?

My sister has her diabetes data logged into her phone and the only way she can fix it without interrupting the audience is to just grab her phone quick and check her blood sugar.

Or, if you have small kids. Phones are used for more than entertainment."

Is her phone the only way she can log that information? It might be the most convenient, on the go way, but there has to be other ways. There has to be other, less distracting ways to do that.
