Inspired by reports of Madonna's incessant texting at The Public Theatre's Hamilton on April 18 that resulted in the pop star being disinvited backstage by the show's creator Lin-Manuel Miranda, watch Melanie Bowditch's latest FUNNY OR DIE spoof, "You Let Down Your Theatre, Evita!" set to the the tune of "Oh, What a Circus" from EVITA!
And scroll down for a closer look at the lyrics...
OH, WHAT A CIRCUS, MADGE AT THE SHOW!
NEW YORK'S THEATRE SCENE'S QUITE PERPLEXED.
AFTER ARRIVING LATE, SHE THEN SENT TEXT AFTER TEXT!
LIN-MANUEL M'RANDA FIN'LLY DECIDED "ENOUGH IS ENOUGH,
SHE WON'T BE ALLOWED BACKSTAGE--
SHE'S LIKE SHIA LABEOUF!"
YOU LET DOWN YOUR THEATRE, EVITA!
YOUR GLOWING PHONE WAS A BIG DISTRACTION.
AS A PERFORMER, YOU SHOULD KNOW BETTER,
AND NOT DETRACT FROM THE ONSTAGE ACTION.
