Republican lawmaker Lauren Boebert was asked to leave a theatre in Denver during a performance of the musical Beetlejuice due to disruptive behavior. According to an incident report, two patrons complained about vaping, singing, and causing disturbances, leading to their removal. Although her team confirmed the incident, Boebert denied vaping. Boebert took to Twitter to admit guilty to "laughing and singing too loud!" She also apologized and acknowledged the complaints from fellow audience members. The incident report filed by Denver Arts & Venues revealed that three complaints were made during the Sunday night show at the Buell Theatre. After receiving a warning during intermission, an usher approached Boebert and her companion again in the second half, asking them to leave due to additional complaints of being loud and recording the performance. Taking pictures and recording the show is strictly prohibited. One usher claimed that Boebert and her companion refused to leave, prompting the usher to threaten to call the Denver Police. The congresswoman allegedly resisted leaving and mentioned contacting the mayor, along with the infamous phrase, "Do you know who I am?" Boebert's campaign manager, Drew Sexton, confirmed that she was escorted out of the theatre but denied the vaping allegations. Sexton stated that Boebert enjoys supporting the performing arts and appreciates the theatre's strict enforcement of their no photos policy. In a statement, Sexton took a dig at the Biden administration by saying Boebert wishes they would enforce border laws as thoroughly as the theatre enforces its no photos policy. Boebert herself confirmed on Twitter that she did not see the end of the show and encouraged others to watch Beetlejuice at the Buell Theatre if given the chance. It is important to note that Lauren Boebert's district does not include Denver.
