Isa Briones, the star of The Pitt, has publicly criticized Broadway audiences for their disruptive behavior during her stage performance in the musical Just In Time. In a recent Instagram Story post, Briones condemned the practice of yelling at performers, calling it "f--king disrespectful."
"Hey, hey, hey! Once again, Broadway is not a circus. Do not yell whatever you want at the performers. Yelling ‘when are you going to finish your charts’ before I sing ‘Who’s Sorry Now?’ is fucking disrespectful to the performers onstage and your fellow audience members. Y’all are pissin’ me off."
Briones concluded her message with a plea for mutual respect: "Love and light and please remember you are occupying shared spaces and watching art."
Briones’ Broadway Debut and Role in ‘Just In Time’
Briones made her Broadway debut in 2024 with the production of Hadestown. She joined the cast of Just In Time in April 2024, taking over the role previously held by Gracie Lawrence. Her castmates include Joe Barbara, Emily Bergl, Carrie St. Louis, Debbie Gravitte, Lance Roberts, and Caesar Samayoa.
In The Pitt, Briones portrays Dr. Santos, a character known for her strong personality and self-assurance. The timely completion of her character’s charts was a significant plot point in the show’s second season.
