And he's not the only celebrity to be called out for being on their phone during a Broadway performance, with one of the more famous instances involving two-time Tony Award winner Patti Lupone, who snatched an audience member's phone away mid-performance at Shows for Days.
Madonna was once busted for being on her phone during an Off-Broadway performance of Hamilton, with Lin-Manuel Miranda reportedly unhappy with the pop icon.
In a now-deleted tweet, the show's creator wrote: "Tonight was the first time I asked stage management NOT to allow a celebrity (who was texting all through Act 2) backstage. #noselfieforyou."
Tony Award-nominee and Hamiltoncast member Jonathan Groff went even further, saying he had no remorse for Madonna, "because that bitch was on her phone. You couldn’t miss it from the stage. It was a black void of the audience in front of us and her face there perfectly lit by the light of her iPhone through three-quarters of the show."
Celebrities, your fellow audience members might not be able to see you on your phone during a performance, but the cast sure can.
