 Hugh Jackman: Chides cell phone user
Famous actor Hugh Jackman knows how to stop the show. Recently he did it when a cell phone call interrupted a preview performance of "A Steady Rain," the Broadway play that stars Jackman and Daniel Craig. The moment captured on an amateur video shown by a famous celebrity site that appears to have been recorded by someone in the audience.
Sources have thrown light on this news of Hugh Jackman. It shows that Jackman has told the owner of the ringing cell phone, "You want to get that?" as the audience erupts in cheers. With the ringing persists, Jackman pleads by saying, "Come on, just turn it off." He then paces the stage of the Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre, waits for about a minute for the ringing to stop and then the play resumes.
However the producers of “A Steady Rain” have declined to comment on it.
The interruption occurred during an intense moment in the play, when Hugh Jackman's character, a Chicago policeman, reveals some of the haunting memories.
A customary loudspeaker announcement reminds all the theatergoers to turn off their phones. Since the incident, ushers who seat patrons and pass out playbills at Schoenfeld are also instructing patrons to silence their phones.
"A Steady Rain," a taut drama based on the relationship between two policemen, has opened up on Tuesday for a limited engagement through Dec. 6. The play by Keith Huff already has already proved to be a potent box-office winner, playing to the capacity audiences since it began previews on Sept. 10.
Hugh Jackman won a Tony Award in 2004 for his performance as Peter Allen in the musical "The Boy from Oz."
