Watch the actor’s message to fans below
“I can see red lights in the auditorium, and it may not be any of you here that did that, but it’s blindingly obvious,” he said.
“It’s mortifying, and there’s nothing less supportive or enjoyable as an actor being on stage experiencing that. And I can’t give you what I want to give you which is a live performance that you’ll remember — hopefully in your minds and brains whether it’s good, bad, or indifferent — rather than on your phones.”
He continued,
“This isn’t me blaming you, this is just me asking you to just ripple it out there, in the brilliant beautiful way that you do with your funny electronic things.”
