Anthony Ramos is calling out Madonna for poor theater etiquette.
On Thursday night’s (June 19) episode of Watch What Happens Live, Ramos played a game of “Clubhouse of Horrors,” during which host Andy Cohen asked him to name the “most terrifying celebrity to spot in the audience” when he was performing in Hamilton on Broadway.
“The most terrifying was Madonna with her iPad in her face. She was like this the whole time,” he said, pretending to look down at an iPad. “I was like, ‘Damn, shawty. If you’re not enjoying it that much, you know the door’s right there. You ain’t gotta stay here!’”
Ramos was famously part of the original cast of Hamilton, which made its Broadway debut in 2015. The actor, whose work on the musical earned him the 2016 Grammy for Best Musical Theater Album, originated the roles of John Laurens and Philip Hamilton.
To celebrate the 10th anniversary of Lin-Manuel Miranda‘s musical, the entire cast reunited at the 2025 Tony Awards to perform a medley of iconic songs from the play. However, fans were upset that Ramos did not have a solo in the performance.
“That was really nice that people got pissed,” he said on Watch What Happens Lives.
But according to the actor, his solo moments were cut because he didn’t confirm his attendance until the day before the awards show.
“They weren’t even planning on me being there,” he explained. “They cut that part, they choreographed the whole number and then I texted Lin Saturday morning like, ‘Yo, is it too late to join y’all?’ He was like, ‘Are you serious?’ I was like, ‘Yeah, I’m serious.’ He was like, ‘You got a black suit?’ I was like, ‘Nah, I could get one.’”
“So, they fit me in where I could fit in,” Ramos continued. “There was a moment for me but they had to take it out because they didn’t plan on me being there.”
Watch What Happens Live airs Sunday through Thursday at 10 p.m. ET on Bravo. New episodes are available to stream the next day on Peacock.
