York added that the cast was “very aware of what happened”, with actors Marc Kudisch and Sarah Stiles tweeting about the freaky incident after the show.

Naturally the show’s crew members did not want a cell phone there when the performance started so they hustled it off. The plugging of the cell was a pointless act anyhow. Why?
At the start of a July 2 performance of the adult puppet-play, “Hand to God”, an audience member in serious need of charging his phone sought out the only outlet in the theater.
Both Twitter and Facebook lit up Sunday evening and Monday morning after other cast members and folks in the crowd posted their astonished reactions to the audience member’s freaky effort to stay connected by any means possible – or impossible.
A Broadway theatre set appears to have been so realistic that a New York theatregoer attempted to plug his mobile phone into a fake powerpoint on the stage.
What was worse was that the man had to leap onto the stage, then walk about 15 feet to get to the outlet. One audience member copped to “loudly heckling the idiot” when the ushers removed the phone and asked him to take it back. “Moron. Has theatre etiquette-heck, Common Sense-[really] fallen that far??”
