Lin-Manuel Miranda, creator and star of the currently the hottest musical theater ticket in NYC - HAMILTON - took to Twitter this past Saturday night to share the news that had requested that a celeb be banned from coming backstage after a performance at the Public Theater.
The celeb? Madonna.
The reason? Her lack of theatre etiquette. Apparently, the Queen of Pop annoyed the cast and audience by constantly texting throughout the second act of the musical.
Tweeted Miranda: "Tonight was the first time I asked stage management NOT to allow a celebrity (who was texting all through Act 2) backstage. #noselfieforyou"
The tweet was later deleted, but audience member Casey Erin Clark expressed her frustration after the show on Twitter:
That time you want to smack #Madonna upside the head for texting during the best show I've ever seen. #HAMILTONpublic

HAMILTON is currently closing out it's off-Bway run before heading to Broadway this summer at the Richard Rodgers Theatre, with previews beginning on July 13th.
