"Who do you think you are!?!" LuPone throws jerk out of the theater

And at my interactive theater venue (Sleuths Mystery Dinner Theater in Orlando) - tonight, JUST after the murder had occurred, an audience member had a seizure. The show was halted as an ambulance was called. It took the cast a while to reestablish what was part of the intended mystery and what was actual emergency. (I hear the guest was just fine, thankfully.)

We often have to hush, ask, cajole, nudge or blatantly demand polite consideration from certain drunk or obnoxious members of the audience, and we are usually helped a great deal by the other paying guests. Not long ago, one intoxicated lady was so offended by one of our characters asking her to be quiet, she picked up her key lime pie and threw it at the actor.

Perhaps we shall add a new line in such situations - "Please be considerate of others, or we shall be forced to go Patty LuPone on your ass!"
