pumbaaj-why would a theatre "plan" an interruption when the same thing happens without planning at half the shows (or more) every night? The addiction to conspiracy theories in these parts is almost as bad as the addiction to cell phones.
"I hate to sound skeptical, but is there a chance these interruptions are pre-planned by the theater to generate publicity? In this world of fake reality shows, it's something that crosses my mind."
What makes you think LuPone would ever agree to go along with something like that?
When I see the phrase "the ____ estate", I imagine a vast mansion in the country full of monocled men and high-collared women receiving letters about productions across the country and doing spit-takes at whatever they contain.

well Lupone certainly did what she did for the publicity but that's not the same as saying that the offense was staged by LCT. In fact, what she did (and I am not criticizing it) was more of a disruption that the offense. (Bear in mind that it involved texting and not a ringing cellphone.)
