Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) was escorted out of a Denver theater in the middle of a performance Sunday night for allegedly “causing a disturbance,” according to a new report in The Denver Post on Tuesday.
A spokesperson for Boebert’s campaign office confirmed to The Denver Post that Boebert was escorted out of the theater, but denied some of the behavior alleged in an incident report that The Denver Post obtained from venue officials.
The incident report, which did not include any names, said two patrons were asked to leave the theater about five minutes after the second act began of the touring Broadway musical “Beetlejuice.” It claimed the two patrons were vaping, singing, recording and “causing a disturbance.”
Boebert’s spokesperson, according to the Colorado newspaper, said the congresswoman denied vaping, but she admitted she took a photo during the performance and said she was not aware that photos were not allowed.
“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,’” Boebert’s campaign manager, Drew Sexton, reportedly wrote in a statement to the newspaper.
According to the incident report, the two patrons were warned during intermission to stop certain behavior after three audience members complained. The report said the patrons were escorted out after security received another complaint “about the patrons being loud and at the time (they) were recording,” The Denver Post reported.
The two patrons, even after being escorted to the lobby of the theater, refused to leave.
“They told me they would not leave. 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,” an usher said in the incident report, according to The Denver Post.
Police reportedly arrived and stayed in the lobby until the two patrons left.
The Hill has reached out to Boebert’s office for comment.

If you don't know you're not supposed to whip our your mobile phone during a stage performance, I call into question the "indeed a supporter of the performing arts" by her campaign manager.
He added that the politician urged people to see the show, which she lauded for a “fantastic cast, tremendous visuals and plenty of loud laughs”, but “with a gentle reminder to leave their phones outside of the venue.”
You missed where it says they were recording and singing too. If you pay to go see a musical, your don't want some no-talent bint in the seat behind you screeching along with the songs. In addition, you don't want an ignoramus in front of you holding up their phone to record it for their social media page. Plus, they were warned multiple times and kept it up.
Gotta be honest, after reading that second line I failed to read the rest. Already enough blackout stupid in play for me. (Seriously, who vapes in a public theater these days.)
Going back to it, it's totally on brand for her to be escorted to the lobby but refuse to leave.

Sounds about right. The circus tent for your clown show is that way, Boebert.
She not only admitted to singing, but to singing "too loud." What kind of absolute utter fucking moron thinks it's okay to sing along with a live theater performance? And she claims to be a supporter of the performing arts.
Everyone really needs to start jeering these people in every public space. On the streets, in stores, in restaurants, etc. Give them no peace while in public.
