Hamilton, the hip-hop muscial based on the life of noted Founding Father and face (for now) of the $10 bill Alexander Hamilton, has widely been called the hottest ticket in town. But when Madonna saw it back in April, she received quite the cold reception thanks to her crippling cell phone addiction.
Madge was clocked for texting in the middle of the show by Hamilton's author and composer Lin-Manuel Miranda. The Tony-winner urged the audience to donate to Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS while mentioning that someone in the audience could afford to pay a lot for an item he was acutioning off — someone who had been doing a lot of texting.
In an interview with dot429, Jonathan Groff — who has a much buzzed about role as King George in the play — was asked if he was broken up about missing his chance to meet the Material Girlish Woman.
"No" the former Looking star said. "Because that bitch was on her phone. You couldn’t miss it from the stage. It was a black void of the audience in front of us and her face there perfectly lit by the light of her iPhone through three-quarters of the show."
Groff continues to heap on the shade by mentioning that other busy, high-profile people managed to keep their phones away and their manners present:
"What was funny about it was that she was there that Saturday night, but at that Saturday matinee Michelle Obama was there. We were collecting for Broadway Cares after the show, and Mrs. Obama stayed in the audience while the Broadway Cares speech happened, and Lin called her out and the audience applauded for her. Then she came backstage and hugged every crew member—the wig girl, all the costume people, every cast member. She said to us—and this is a direct quote—“This is the greatest piece of art I’ve ever seen.” It’s crazy. I’ve never been a part of a theatrical experience in which you have in the audience Hillary Clinton and Michelle Obama and Bernadette Peters and Busta Rhymes and Black Thought and Jimmy Fallon and Dick Cheney . . ."
Who knew Madonna could be so blatantly disrespectful? I thought she cared about artists? It would appear that she doesn't, and that she may in fact be very self-absored.
Michelle Obama on the other hand, such a sweet person. I really love her!
As someone who made appearances in two plays in the 80's/90's you would think she would know proper theatre etiquette.
Maybe she's just salty that she's not that good of an actor?
This is why Madonna isn't respected in the industry anymore. I mean, when was her last Grammy nomination? A true artist would never do that to somebody else's work.
what a tacky reply, lol. i used to drag madonna for being a rude person (and still do) and i said what ariana did was gross. so please stop, your just embarrassing yourself here.
Also Ima need for privileged white gays to stop calling women "bitch"
Y'all already objectify, steal, and appropriate from us enough
When will it stop misogynists?

i get that he was upset but it was kinda unnecessary to randomly call her a bitch
