Annoyed theatergoer ejected after grabbing cell phone and tossing it

[Onkel Neal]

My hero. Cell phone and the idiots who use them during a film and a big reason why I almost never go to the theaters any more.

In the very latest incident of someone using a cell phone when they should have been watching a cultural performance, Kevin Williamson decided he'd do something about it.

No, he wasn't one of the actors on stage. Nor was he conducting an orchestra.

He was merely trying to enjoy "Natasha, Pierre and The Great Comet of 1812." This is a musical based on "War and Peace." Of course it's loosely based. If it wasn't, it would last until Google Glass is available to the public.
The one incessant thing about this particular performance was the alleged cell phone use by a woman seated close by.

Cell phone use is -- as always in the theater -- expressly forbidden during this performance. However, this was New York, where people think they can (and should) do what they like.

As Williamson told the Gothamist, the woman was a member of a group that was already being a touch disruptive.

"It looked like she was Googling or something. So I leaned over and told her it was distracting and told her to put it away. She responded, 'So don't look,'" he explained to the Gothamist.
