A confused and disruptive woman stopped Broadway’s “Death of a Saleman” on Tuesday night and was eventually escorted out of the theater by police. It is safe to say that she was not loved by the public.
The incident happened at the Hudson Theater on 44th Street. Patrons reported on social media that she misbehaved, molested and generally disrupted the show’s play during the first act of the three-hour play. In the end, star Wendell Pierce tried to reason with the heckler from the foot of the stage.
“He patiently and heroically asked her to leave peacefully, despite her insistence that she be violently executed (she was eventually escorted by the police),” said Instagram user Rubinbooty.
Social media commentators said the woman and a companion appeared to have left during the break. However, she returned in full force and reportedly issued a warning.
“A little while later, she started screaming at the top of her lungs that she wasn’t going, and if she couldn’t see the rest of the show, neither could anyone else,” Reddit user Toss182 said.
Eventually the show was stopped and Pierce, who plays Willy Loman, spoke to the woman from the stage. The woman reportedly demanded her money back, and Pierce tried to get the filers to give her money to end the interruption.
Apparently it wasn’t enough, and eventually the police came to escort the woman. Pierce then started Act. 2
Also starring Sharon D. Clarke, Death of a Salesman runs through January 15 at the Hudson.
