LuPWNed! (The Patti LuPone Audience Freakout Remix)

LuPwn -
Pronunciation: \lüˈpōn\
Function: verb
Etymology: from the English "own" and the Italian "LuPone"
1. to give an untouchable theatrical performance. ("Dana, you totes LuPwned in 'Perez.'")
2. to be on the receiving end of an act in a theatrical setting that could be considered ridiculous by others; to be diva'd out on. ("Looks like you just got LuPwned by Kristina Chen, Tim. Sars-ville.")

NOTE: I did NOT make the original bootleg, just sampled it. The original can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dw6-Tp4UVVA

24 people took pictures during Gypsy and fear for their lives.

@Gymnasticseverywhere she should have thrown a shoe at him. It should be a law actually because what if something reflective was on the stage and the flash blinded a crew person operating something suspended and heavy. Someone could die, just saying. . .

@an7iguy You are lucky; I saw it a few weeks before and she was totally phoning it in.

@phlashba Please, those people saw the performance of a lifetime and will be telling their kids about that madness, I saw the closing performance but secretly wished I had been there the night before.

There is an interview on youtube Patti addresses this incident. Typically, Patti would see the LED lights of the offenders and then tell the stage manager when she went offstage where they were seated so they could be removed quietly by an usher. In this case, the rude idiot was seated close to the stage and Patti could hear the whirring of the camcorder, as could the people seated next to him. This is the one and only time she stopped a show and she had every right to do so.

@kelliletner Make that 28.

[phlashba]

Completely unprofessional ----- the show goes on --- no matter what! SHE ruined the show for the entire audience. Yes -- the photographer was completely out of line and should have been removed by ushers but her outburst was totally wrong wrong wrong.

Patti Lupone did the right thing . Nobody can concentrate when people take flash photography . It hurts your eyes, distracts you, amd you get dizzy . She was being treated disrespectfully . That photographer should have fucked of .

@cdftaurus well then i guess thats why you aren't up on the stage, because I'm sure that if you ever were you would find it extremely distracting also, and the flash of a camera is bothering everyone else's enjoyment. i know i wouldn't NEVER want to be sitting in a dark theatre watching a show a see flashes.

[broadway0987]

@jamie0916 well then if you feel that way why are you watching videos of her and feeling the need to comment? Shouldn't we be telling you to go away?

[MrEricrockinout]

@555kappock what if there are street performers :) ??

[jaraandrew100]

They WERE BOTH being assholes - for taking pictures and for ruining the fucking show. let's all move on from this. let's enjoy the humor of this video and move on with our fucking lives.
