In an interview with The New Yorker, Broadway star Patti LuPone addressed accusations from fellow actress Kecia Lewis, who labeled LuPone's complaint about noise from Lewis's show as "racially microaggressive" and indicative of privilege. LuPone responded forcefully, questioning Lewis's credentials as a 'veteran' and arguing that her complaint was standard practice in shared Broadway theaters. This incident exemplifies the complexities of race and authority in the theater community, reflecting broader conversations on privilege and professional experience.
"Oh, my God... here's the problem. She calls herself a veteran? Let's find out how many Broadway shows Kecia Lewis has done, because she doesn't know what the f**k she's talking about."
"This is not unusual on Broadway. This happens all the time when walls are shared."
