'Hamilton' star Anthony Ramos calls out Madonna for rude behavior at Broadway show

Anthony Ramos vividly remembers spotting Madonna in the audience of one of his “Hamilton” performances — but for all the wrong reasons.

While appearing as a guest on the latest episode of “Watch What Happens Live” on Thursday, host Andy Cohen inquired the Broadway actor about the most intimidating celebrity he spotted in the audience during his time in ‘Hamilton.’

“The most terrifying was Madonna with her iPad in her face,” Ramos, 33, replied.

“She was like this the whole time,” he continued, imitating Madonna, 66, looking down at a tablet.

Ramos said he could tell by the “Material Girl” singer’s distracting antics that she was not impressed by his, or rest of the cast’s, performance.

Reflecting on the experience, he shared, “I thought to myself, ‘Well, if you’re not having a good time, feel free to leave.’ I mean, the exit is right there.”

In April 2015, it was noted by Playbill that Madonna had attended the Broadway production at The Public Theater. However, she was not given the opportunity to visit backstage once the show concluded, reportedly due to her lack of familiarity with theater etiquette.

“Tonight was the first time I asked stage management NOT to allow a celebrity (who was texting all through Act 2) backstage. #noselfieforyou,” Lin-Manuel Miranda Miranda, who created and starred in “Hamilton,” wrote in a since-deleted tweet at the time, per Playbill.

A source told the outlet that the songstress arrived late to the show and proceeded to take out her phone “several times” during the first act.

“She continued to use her phone, which glowed brightly in the Public’s intimate Newman Theater, throughout the second act,” the insider added.

Reps for Madonna did not immediately respond to Page Six’s requests for comment.

“Hamilton” debuted off-Broadway in early 2015, with Ramos portraying the duel role of John Laurens and Philip Hamilton, the son of the titular character played by Miranda.

He exited the award-winning musical in November 2016, going on to star in movies like “In the Heights,” “Dumb Money” and “Twisters.”
