Much ado-doo at B’way show

-

SOME like it . . . steaming hot? Page Six hears that a serial pooper has been stalking the halls of the legendary Shubert Theatre — and the last time they struck, feces appeared in the aisle near Hillary and Chelsea Clinton.

A source close to “Some Like It Hot” insists that it was a regrettabl­e one-off incident. But another source tells us that the theater’s staff said that the s - - t’s (almost) hit the fans before.

“Last week when Hillary and Chelsea Clinton were in the audience,” said a source, “the lights came up for intermissi­on and there were two human turds in the aisle just near the famous political duo.”

The insider added, “The house crew dealt with it very appropriat­ely and quickly, and Hillary and Chelsea remained in the theater for the second act.”

The former first family members did not respond to a request for comment, but they were photograph­ed holding up the show’s Playbill and giving a thumbs-up (photo below).

The first source confirmed the scoop, telling Page Six, “There was an incident when Hillary Clinton and Chelsea attended. It was an elderly person and it’s rather sad, but yes, the house staff worked quickly to help resolve the situation and Act 2 started as scheduled.”

But the other insider said that after the most recent incident, an eyewitness “spoke to the house manager, who said that it was actually the fourth time it had happened.”

The source wildly speculated: “There is someone who is either s - - tting in the aisle or surreptiti­ously dumping defecation that they smuggled into the theater.” But the other insider said again that there is no alleged Phantom of the Poopera lurking around — and that it was just a sad accident.

The show’s seats have previously been filled by such butts as those of Steven Spielberg, Martin Short, Debbie Allen, Bo Derek, Eddie Izzard and Hank Azaria. A rep for the show did not comment on the incident, which finally put the deuce in the Forty-Deuce district.
