To the woman sitting in the Founders' Circle Row H Seat 47 (on the aisle) at last night's (Tues., 12/4) performance of Hamilton in Greenville, SC.

Obviously you need some education into proper etiquette when attending a live theatrical performance.  Even if you are a rabid Hamilton fan, it is not within reason to jump out of your seat or flail your arms whenever something you like occurs on stage. It  is also most certainly not proper to record or photograph the performance with your cell phone as you continually did throughout the evening.  Had you shut your flapping mouth, you might have heard the announcement to turn off all phones prior to the start of the show.  If you did hear the announcement, you obviously did not think it applied to you.  There are legal reasons for following this rule as well as common rules of decency to other theater patrons around you.

Just so you know - I was the person who complained about your rude behavior to the usher during intermission.  I felt no guilt in doing this as your actions spoiled my enjoyment of Act 1.  During Act 2 the usher found it necessary to approach you three times to turn off your phone.  You are an asshole.  You should have been ejected from the theater and had you phone confiscated.

The reason for writing you is so that in the future you may think of someone else other than yourself.   Besides, I don't like egotistical or simple-minded theater goers.  May the fleas of a thousand camels infest your armpits.
