| A group of Lea Salonga fans apparently snuck backstage and appeared at the door of her dressing room at ''Here Lies Love.'' They claimed to be friends of one of the show's lead producers, but it would turn out that that producer had no idea who they were. These fans were not on Salonga's guest list, so she firmly turned them away and graciously escorted them to the area near the building's exit. Salonga posted this on her Twitter: ''When one of our lead producers and our dance captain saw the video [of the incident] and learned about what happened, they said, “You were still very nice, if that were me, I would’ve cussed at them and kicked them out.” I’m not the type to cuss people out, but I will protect my territory and my boundaries. If I lose fans as a result, so be it.'' Maybe these fans were visiting a Broadway theater for the first time and didn't know the proper protocol or etiquette. but the one who posted the video of the incident, also posted a reaction to what happened, and it smacks of entitlement: ''If we are ever wrong and not on the guest list, the fact is that we are there just to take pictures. We lined up and paid dearly for the Show, maybe as Filipinos and FANS we can be given at least a little RESPECT AND AT LEAST NO HUGS OR KISSES, you will be allowed to take a PICTURE." To that fan: No matter how much you ''paid dearly'' for tickets, you are NOT entitled to backstage visits or selfies. And brava to Salonga's response! |
