This expression says it all! (Image via video still)
Lea Salonga, currently in Here Lies Love, found her dressing room overrun by overeager fans after a performance.
In terrifying video willingly posted by the goobers who did this, Salonga is shown, nonplussed, in her private dressing room as fans pop in requesting selfies. She patiently tells them they're not on the list and must go wait by the stage door, but they don't fully comply, hovering and then trying to return.
Eventually, she walks them out and gives them their selfies just inside the stage door.
It is unclear if the other people in the background were also intruding, or were on the list, but the situation is nuts. The Broadway Theatre needs to up its security detail, because fans shouldn't be allowed such easy access. This is a Selena waiting to happen, even if they sound harmless — “You're so pretty!”
Watch:
Audience members at ‘Here Lies Love’ were able to get backstage and infiltrate Lea Salonga’s dressing room and then wouldn’t leave?!?!

She literally had to escort them out herself.
