Three Cheers for Ms.LuPone!

Good Afternoon my dear Meridianites. Cynthia Meridian here, giving a loud "You go girl!" to Ms. Patti LuPone.

Now, as many of you listened to our podcast last month, you know that musical theater is something that is near and dear to us at Meridian 13 News. We take our musical theater seriously. So should you. And now we have no finer leader in this battle than the Broadway diva of all diva's, Patti LuPone.

While performing this past week in a concert, Ms. LuPone was startled to find someone on their cell phone. Were they taking a picture? Were they texting their friends? Were they checking their bank statement? One will never know. But one thing we do know, is that that bozo is an idiot of the first degree. Who the hell thinks they can just whip out a cell phone, blackberry, iPhone, whatever mobile internet device you choose to "tweet" on and ignore the performance at hand, ruining the experience for those around them, and insult the performer on stage.

To no surprise, Ms. LuPone stopped the performance to berate this first class ass-clown and let him know how disrespectful his actions were. She then returned to the concert to sing her classic "Don't Cry for me Argentina."

Brava, Ms. LuPone. Brava.
