Keira Knightley

Keira Knightley was all set to make her highly anticipated Broadway debut recently. But, unlike the standard theater mantra, practice doesn’t always make perfect.

According to Eonline, only minutes after the curtains’ draw, the show was disrupted by an unruly audience member who began shouting concerning phrases at the Oscar nominee. Whitney McIntosh and Kacey Bange, who both sat in the audience on opening night, shared their first-hand accounts with E! News of what unfolded inside Studio 54.

“As soon as the play started, there was a guy who started yelling, ‘This was all looney tunes!’ I turned and noticed that there was a guy hanging off the mezzanine yelling stuff to the stage. ‘Keira, none of this is real! This is all an act! Christ was born of a virgin!’” Bange said.
