File this under "Ab-so-lute-ly TYPICAL".
This? Is the divine Hugh Jackman, during a performance of his Broadway show, "A Steady Rain" last week. A cellphone went off in the audience, and Jackman responded to the unpardonable interruption, IN CHARACTER, by stopping the performance, and requesting the audience member to either answer the call, or turn the ringer off.
Bravo, I say.
Wonder if he could take care of the people who open loud candy wrappers, and engage in idle chit-chat with their elbow-partners, as well...
People??!
THERE'S A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE THEATRE, AND YOUR LIVING ROOM.
If this comes as news to you, then please... stay home.

Classic. Might make many more people think to turn off their phones when in this type of venue!
I think they should have done that it was a great thing...
i had a guy take a call in the middle of a performance once, then he went and stood in the back of the house and TALKED... it was a SMALL theatre, less than 100 seats, and he was OFFENDED when the stage manager came out of the booth and told him to leave. HE was offended? crazy.
