"And the show is moving to Broadway, where there are many more tickets easily available. I get that no one likes to wait to see a show, but the entitlement of complaint of having to wait until July (horrors!) is ridiculous.
THIS. You took the words right out of my mouth, I've been curious about this as well.

Do you guys remind that show "Celebrity Death Match"? I can only picture LuPone and Madonna in claymation now.

I doesn't matter if you're bored by a show. You still have no right to use your brightly lit device to spoil it for others who might not feel as you do.

It's always weird when a garbage person acts like a garbage person and people are shocked.
She's just a washed up, artless hack. What an asshole.

Some people are loving this way too much. Almost makes me think they're happy she did something this rude so they can comment on it and bring up the fact that they haven't had the luxury of seeing Hamilton yet.

Remember when everyone started getting cell phones in the late 90's, and it was considered extremely rude to take your phone out at a restaurant? You were supposed to excuse yourself and go outside or to the loo if you needed to take a call. Now people barely look across the table at each other, because their faces are buried in their phones through the entire meal. Few would consider taking out their phones in the theatre back then. Today, Broadway theatres are offering free wi-fi and letting you take your wine into the house in a sippy cup. As gross as it is, it shouldn't surprise us that this behavior is happening.

Last week she showed up at Coachella during Drake's set and sexually assaulted him , and his reaction of disgust made her headlines. This week she assaulted some guy who is a name in NY and made another headline. There's no such thing as bad publicity.
On a side note, a production of In the Heights opens here next week, & they have used some stock photos of Miranda in their publicity. Last night I had to explain to a friend that he isn't actually in this production.
Me: This guy is starring is the hottest show in NY right now
My friend: But he's taking a break for a month to come to Vancouver and do this show? That's so nice
Me: Uhhh, noooo

Yep, and she's been using black men / men of color as props to show her "edginess" for decades. She's the definition of entitlement.

Never been a fan. Everything she does is so calculated and insincere. Good for LMM for calling her out. I like this man more and more each day.
Posted: 4/20/15 at 8:25pm
Maybe she was texting TO Lin-Manuel, he's kinda her type though I've never seen him with his shirt off (No one has).
Posted: 4/20/15 at 11:06pm
Wait a minute... he keeps his shirt ON in Hamilton? I ain"t buying a ticket for that sh*t then
:p

Madonna has really been making headlines lately, and not in a good way. Clearly, she didn't want to be sitting there. I'm glad Lin called her out. Patti 2.0!

It baffles me when I hear about people doing this and this is coming from someone who is obsessively connected to her devices. I have an admittedly unhealthy connection to my phone and such, and even I have no problem putting my phone away for a couple hours to watch a show. The desire to pull it out and look at it never hits me. I feel like if I can do it, anyone can. And I mean those announcements at the beginning, telling you to put your phones away aren't made just to hear themselves speak.

Celebrity entitlement. If the ubiquitous bad boy du jour Bieber did this, his dereliction would be attributed to youth-specific white male privilege . At 56, this rude performer is still capitalizing on the presumed perks of (early) fame, failing to realize that while rudeness in adolescence can be mistaken for iconoclasm, in a middle aged artist with a global career, it's simply a sad demonstration of abject narcissism.
Posted: 4/21/15 at 9:18am
I don't agree with Auggie's assessment. I don't condone anyone's using their phone in a theater, whether it's Beiber, Madonna, or a stranger. Age doesn't factor in here at all. Rudeness knows no bounds, and I don't think it has different connotations in people of different ages.

Wendy Williams just did a piece on this, she called the show HAMLET. She mentioned Madonna's name many times but never mentioned what's his name's name. Guess who won?
Posted: 4/21/15 at 10:39am
I loved how another patron asked M to stop. If that's even true.
Posted: 4/21/15 at 11:17am
Wait--Wendy Williams is Team Madonna?
Posted: 4/21/15 at 12:07pm
if Madoona pulled that stunt in a production starring Lupone, Patti would have beat the **** out of her.
Posted: 4/21/15 at 12:35pm
Ok I'm a huge Madonna fan but as a playwright/director and producer I hate people texting during the show.
However I'm more appalled by some of the disgusting comments on here, a talentless hack (after her critically acclaimed recent album), using black men (give me a break), garbage, old jokes.
She text during a show (bad behaviour yes) but she didn't kill someone's cat, calm the hell down.

You would definitely be whistling a different tune if Madonna wasn't the perpetrator. Let's be real here.

"I generally defend her to the death..."
Would you? Please?
"I love her to death..."
Would you? Please?

Well, if we REALLY want to be real, so would those who are attacking her, if it was somebody THEY loved. They would rush to find excuses from medical emergencies to trouble at home LOL It's human nature and it doesn't only apply to Madonna fans but all fans.
And I agree with songanddanceman2, what she did was unjustifiable and I don't think anyone has ever called her a nice person but calling the biggest selling female artist in history with a 30-year succesfull career, washed up and talenteless is not really a valid argument and it just shows pure hatred.
