| It’s not just Shia LaBeouf. Why the worst performances are in the seats
The reviews are in—and they’re not good.
When it comes to acting in a respectable manner, theater professionals say many theater audiences have lost the plot. If marquees were emblazoned with critics’ opinions of audiences, they might read something like, “The spotlight is meant to be on the stage--not on you!” or “Balconies are for serenading—not for vomiting.”
The latest case of a theatergoer upstaging the cast members played out on Thursday evening at a performance of “Cabaret” at Studio 54, starring Alan Cumming and Michelle Williams. Movie actor Shia LaBeouf, 28, was arrested outside the theater after disrupting the performance. Security guards asked LaBeouf to leave at intermission after he allegedly yelled obscenities during Act I; he was then arrested by the police. He was released from police custody on Friday.
