Maybe some theatergoers think “Anything” really does go on Broadway, especially when it comes to charging their phones.

At the start of a July 2 performance of the adult puppet-play, “Hand to God,” an audience member in serious need of charging his phone sought out the only outlet in the theater.

The fake one, a part of the set — onstage.

Playbill.com reports that the bold theatergoer walked onto the stage just as the show was about to begin and attempted to use the prop outlet.

“The crew had to stop the precook music, remove the cellphone, and make an announcement as to why you can’t do that,” explained audience member Chris York in a Facebook post.

“Truly. I am a quiet and reserved person and I took great joy in loudly heckling the idiot when he returned to take his phone back,” he quipped.

Cast members were just as shocked as the audience at the Booth Theater, as this definitely isn’t something they could improvise their way out of had the disturbance occurred mid-show.

Actors Sarah Stiles and Marc Kudisch took to Twitter to vent their confusion.

A guy jumped on the stage and plugged his phone into the fake outlet on our set just before we started. @HandtoGodBway#fullmoon or #idiot ?

Dear general audience, an electrical socket that's a part of the set of the play is NOT for you to charge your iPhone…..just an FYI…..
