Bad Broadway etiquette: Theatergoer takes stage to charge phone

Even as a youngster, somehow I knew that when you go to the theatre, you pay respect to the experience.

This is the story of the Broadway audience member who crawled up on to the hyper-realistic set of Broadway's hit comedy, "Hand To God,"  to plug his cell phone into a (non-working, as it's a set, not a real church basement...) outlet.

His action caused the front of house staff to leap into action. One intrepid Usher was able to retrieve the phone and the show, only delayed by five minutes, went on, as shows are supposed to do, with one very shocked audience member wondering how he was to get his phone back...
