When Adam Weiss arrived at a New York theatre to see a Broadway show, he was dismayed to learn he would have to lock up his cell phone.

The team behind Freestyle Love Supreme, an improvisation comedy show co-created by Lin-Manuel Miranda of Hamilton musical fame, requires audience members to keep their mobiles in a locked pouch during the performance.
