Patti LuPone stopped the final number of the final show of the recent revival of Gypsy to lash out at an audience member who took a picture; audio here.
Aside from the fact that her slurring of the lyrics is reprehensible, her behavior was, to me, appalling: yeah, I understand the patron was an idiot and rude, but you stop the show, go to the stage manager, request the person be removed, you don't turn into Cruella deVil--but, then, it wouldn't be about Patti, would it?
