On December 14, 2025, Patti LuPone attended a performance of Drew Droege’s play, “Messy White Gays.” It was nearly ruined by the outbursts of a raving drunken lunatic.

After the show, LuPone eviscerated this person and told them to “never go back to the theater again.” The New York Post ran the headline “LuPone Blasts Theater Idiot.” On this night, you’ll meet the Theatre Idiot. 🎭 Written and performed by @drew_droege, playing at Out Front Theatre on August 29!
