Lauren Boebert was escorted out of a Colorado theatre’s performance of Beetlejuice for vaping, singing, taking pictures and “causing a disturbance”, according to a report.
Boebert (R-Colo.), 36, was attending “Beetlejuice: The Musical” at the Temple Hoyne Bell Theater in Denver on Sunday evening along with an unidentified male after fellow audience members complained the two were being loud.
Theater employees accused the two of “vaping, singing, recording and ‘causing a disturbance’ during the performance,” the Denver Post reported.
Her campaign office confirmed the incident to the newspaper while disagreeing with the details of the lawmaker’s behaviour.

Boebert, the second-term congresswoman serving Colorado’s 3rd District, and her guest were again approached by two security workers and escorted away from their seats during the show, security footage obtained by 9News shows.
As she was being escorted out of the theater, Boebert stopped several times, once to take a selfie and other times to turn around and seemingly yell at the security guards while wagging her finger.
When they reached a vestibule of the theater, Boebert reportedly resisted exiting while asking the workers, “‘Do you know who I am,’ ‘I am on the board’ (and) ‘I will be contacting the mayor,’” according to the incident report viewed by the Denver Post.
Police arrived at the theater and waited in the lobby until Boebert and her sidekick left.
