Patty Lupone tells it like it is

Respect for the rights of others or for following the rules is at an all time low. Anybody who commutes to work can confirm this.

Well, Patty Lupone struck a blow for well-mannered people everywhere by stopping her broadway Gypsy performance in the middle of a song to tell off an audience member who repeatedly took flash photographs (depite multiple announcements forbidding this).

Too bad this idiot won't take away the right lesson from this. Instead of thinking, "Gee, I was an inconsiderate jerk; I'll be more considerate in the future," he probably left the theater (he was escorted out!) thinking that HE was the aggrieved party. I wouldn't be surprised to learn that he is suing the theater and/or the producers and/or Ms. Lupone. But at least the folks in that particular theater got to enjoy their show.

Ms. Lupone ... BRAVO!
