By: BWW News Desk Apr. 20, 2015
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.
