Beetlejuice musical on Sunday night.The incident took place at the Buell Theatre in Denver. The Denver Post broke the story.It says two people were asked to leave.
It reports they were vaping, singing along loudly, using their phones to take footage of the show, and making a general nuisance of themselves. During the intermission, they received a warning to behave.However, after an audience member made a further complaint about them five minutes into the second half, an usher asked those concerned to leave.
Video footage shows it was Lauren Boebert and an unidentified man.They did not go quietly.“They told me they would not leave,” the usher told Denver Post. “I told them that they need to leave the theater and if they do not, they will be trespassing.
The patrons said they would not leave. I told them I would (be) going to get Denver Police.
They said go get them.”Apparently, one of those asked to leave also said, “Do you know who I am?”A spokesperson for Boebert, Drew Sexton, said the lawmaker had not been vaping. She had used her phone to take a photo of the show as she did not know there was a no-camera policy.“I can confirm the stunning and salacious rumors: in her personal time, Congresswoman Lauren Boebert is indeed a supporter of the performing arts (gasp!) and, to the dismay of a select few, enthusiastically enjoyed a weekend performance of ‘Beetlejuice’.”Sexton said Boebert enjoyed the show (well, what she saw of it), and encouraged others to check out its “fantastic cast, tremendous visuals and plenty of loud laughs” — but, he added, “with a gentle reminder to leave their phones outside of the venue.”Boebert later took to X to confirm her support for the show.“It’s true, I did thoroughly enjoy the AMAZING Beetlejuice at the Buell Theatre and I plead guilty to laughing and singing too loud!
