I heard at the Saturday performance of Chicago Bebe stormed into the house at intermission with the stage managers demanding a video camera from a patron. was anyone there? I want the dish?

I don't know about on Saturday, but I was there on Wednesday during the matinee and that happened.

Why does that make her crazy? Videotaping is ILLEGAL.

yes it IS illegal.. and not right..

but is it really necessary to "storm out into the house" at intermission. it obviously could've been handled much differently, i don't know if that's how you prefer to handle things, but i prefer not to make such a scene. she is obviously being a drama queen! and i know that is her job, but bebe darling, save it for the stage!

Bebe's performance is so stunning that I don't give a crap what she does offa that stage!

"All she never needed was the fanbase and the cameras and the chaaaaaaaance to dance for illegal viewers!"

This was Wednesday night. I was sitting in the mezz so I couldn't see everything that happened. There was a guy sitting in the front who was obviously a tourist and had a large video camera out filming curtain call. He might have been filming before but I couldn't see. Bebe didn't really throw a temper tantrum. After she bowed she just asked the guy to give her the camera before she went offstage and he did.

I was suspected of recording Caine Mutiny Court Martial because I had my off cell phone on my lap. When I was questioned (by an overzealous security guard and Zeljko Ivanek), I showed them that the cell phone doesn't have the capabilities to do so. Boy, were they redfaced in embarassment....and, with the demeanor they used, very deserving of losing their jobs the next day when it closed.

What a lackluster show Mutiny was. It had some really good key moments, especially with the comedic interviews, but otherwise, what a cheap production. The sets for Suddenly, Last Summer were absolutely thrilling to sit by and to see Caine Mutiny on Broadway was a slight embarassment to view in terms of the production quality.
