WOW that's terrible. Why bother going if you're just going to waste the experience? Booooo.

this is what I hate about her. "The rules are for someone else, not me, I'm Madonna." Boo.

Seriously, fvck her. I cannot stand texting at the theatre. I particularly cannot stand that she is a performer herself and would do this. Ugh.

I generally defend her to the death, but if whatever she was communicating about was so utterly important, then she should have stepped out.  Oh Madonna.

I love that Miranda called her out on it.

Back when they were together Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal saw August: Osage County and texted the entire time. When they stood up at the end I wondered how they understood any of it. No one tweeted about them doing it, though.

"She's Madonna. She can do whatever she wants. There's only one Queen. "


 Oh please, she's as classless as the people that pay money to see her stupid concerts. But she picks good restaurants! I'll give her that.

I wouldn't be surprised if she had gone in there with the intention of ignoring half of the show. I love her to death, but the need to prove her relevancy by showing she's above it all is tiring.

I was wondering who the culprit of his social media posts on Saturday was. Totally not on Madonna's side. I bet she doesn't even care because to her, Lin-Manuel Miranda is nothing compared to her. Not that I agree.

I'm not going to defend texting in the theatre, but perhaps if the show had been more interesting, she wouldn't have focused on anything other than what was happening on stage. I don't blame her for losing interest in it, for it got boring real fast.


Still, it would have been better for both her and the audience if she had just walked out.


Unquestionably, a cup of tea at a nearby café would have been far more more agreeable than Hamilton, and she could have texted to whomever she wanted without either lectures or reprimands from Mr. Miranda.

I think it's pretty obnoxious that people are desperate to see the show and paying hundreds of dollars and this @ssshole is sitting there texting and disrupting those around her.

I feel like After Eight has jumped the shark.

Wow. I never...wow...just... 


I mean, Madonna texting in the theater-- it doesn't surprise me one bit. But After Death, sort-of/kind-of DEFENDING her behavior. What if she had texted during a revival of DEAR WORLD? 


Get the waterskis, everyone.

I was honestly thinking the same thing.


His rudeness and obnoxious need to insult everyone doesn't even phase me anymore.


It's so incessant that it just loses all meaning.


He's white noise.


ETA: and obviously, Team Miranda here.

Remember in season 1, when the logic was more consistent? 


However, this can be used as a teaching tool, as After Eight represents perfectly the TV Trope "flanderization"


The act of taking a single (often minor) action or trait of a character within a work and exaggerating it more and more over time until it completely consumes the character.

 Oh, but I like Ned Flanders more when he got more religious. He got more interesting.

After Eight isn't defending Madonna, he just needed a chance to point out how evolved his taste in theater is before he addressed the subject at hand. Perfectly normal response.

Genius, Kad.
