Patti LuPone is accused of “bullying” and “abusive” comments by “Hell's Kitchen” star Kecia Lewis

Broadway legend Patti LuPone found the musical too loud next to her play. She complained and sent flowers as a thank you when they made some changes.

The star of this show's reaction? LuPone's actions were “racially microaggressive.” Yes, I even send the flowers.

Kecia Lewis, 59, posted a six-minute Instagram video on Saturday in which she criticized LuPone, 75, for how she allegedly handled production of “Hell's Kitchen,” in which Lewis stars as Miss Liza Jane.

The Tony Award winner said her “open letter” to LuPone was “not from the cast, crew or producers of 'Hell's Kitchen'” and that she “speaks only for Kecia Lewis.” Lewis then discussed “some situations that have occurred over the last few weeks” involving the “Agatha All Along” actress.

“The first is that you contacted our theater owner to change some of our audio cues because you found them to be too loud,” Lewis alleged. “Also, after our sound design was adjusted, you sent flowers to our sound and stage management team and thanked them.”

“Hell's Kitchen” plays at the Shubert Theater, which shares a back wall with LuPone and Mia Farrow's show “The Roommate” at the Booth Theater. The Post broke news of the production in April.

Lewis' video showed a clip of LuPone outside the theater telling a fan she wouldn't sign a “Hell's Kitchen” playbill because the show was “too loud.”

“These actions are, in my opinion, bullying,” Lewis said. “They’re offensive, they’re racially microaggressive, they’re rude, they’re rooted in privilege. And these actions also lack a sense of community and leadership for someone like you who has been in the business as long as you have.

“I want to explain what a microaggression is,” Lewis continued. “These are subtle, unintentional comments or actions that convey stereotypes, prejudices or negative assumptions about someone based on their race. Microaggressions may seem harmless or minor, but they can accumulate and cause significant distress or discomfort to the recipient. Examples of this include loudly calling out a black show in a way that disapproves of it.

“Although gestures like sending thank you flowers may seem polite, they were dismissive and out of touch, especially after you made a formal complaint that resulted in changes that impacted our entire production, especially the people coming on stage “The execution of the work was affected,” she added.

The “Big River” star suggested “a few thoughtful questions” that LuPone and other Broadway veterans might consider.

“How can I ensure that my feedback or concerns are communicated constructively and, above all, respectfully? “How can I use my platform and experience to help diverse show teams promote the idea that each production brings unique value to Broadway?” she said.

“We’re not just neighbors on Broadway, Ms. LuPone,” Lewis continued. “We are a community that shares each other’s artistic abilities and challenges. Respect and collaboration ensure we thrive and inspire the next generation. It's important that we support each other's hard work on and off stage. So let's encourage each other and show that every show on this street called Broadway deserves respect and celebration.

“Let us continue to foster an environment on Broadway that recognizes and values ​​all shows for their unique contributions and energy, and that celebrates the diversity of voices, sounds and stories that we all bring to the stage.” Ms. LuPone, I would like to you respectfully communicate that you owe us an apology – no flowers. Thanks for listening.”

The post has reached out to LuPone's representative for comment.

The producers of “The Roommate” responded to Lewis' video in an Instagram statement on Sunday.

“We are grateful to everyone at 'Hell's Kitchen' for adjusting their signals to prevent sound from leaking into our theater, which had impacts backstage, onstage and to the audience,” it said Explanation. “On Broadway, these historic buildings were built long before the existence of modern amplifiers and stand side by side, playhouses and musical theaters sharing walls. Such sound adjustments from one show to the next are not uncommon and are always greatly appreciated. We are proud to share Shubert Alley with Hell’s Kitchen and wish our neighbors continued success.”
