Lauren Boebert caught off guard by 'Beetlejuice' music during live interview with Denver radio station KOA

DENVER, COLORADO: Lauren Boebert was greeted with tunes from the musical 'Beetlejuice' when she sat down for a live interview with Denver radio station KOA on Friday, June 7.

The Republican, who currently represents Colorado's 3rd Congressional District, joined host Ross Kaminsky to talk about her run for the state's 4th Congressional District this fall.

Lauren Boebert was asked to leave a 'Beetlejuice' performance in 2023 for being a nuisance

Before the two began their conversation, the station played a segment of Danny Elfman's 'Beetlejuice' score, a reference to Boebert's scandal from the fall of 2023 when she was asked to leave a performance of the musical for causing a "disturbance."

She was escorted out of a Denver theatre during a performance of 'Beetlejuice' due to disruptive behavior, including complaints of vaping, singing, and causing a disturbance, as per the BBC. 

While her team denied the vaping accusation, Boebert acknowledged laughing and singing loudly, according to The Denver Post. 

The incident report from Denver Arts & Venues stated that after receiving multiple complaints and an initial warning, Boebert and another patron were asked to leave for continued loud behavior and recording the show, which is prohibited. 

The congresswoman acknowledged the tune before Kaminsky started the interview, remarking, "How about the intro music? Are you kidding me?"

Kaminsky explained that his producer had chosen the intro track and asked, "Was that 'Beetlejuice' music?"

"Of course it was," responded Boebert with a laugh.

Lauren Boebert refuses to live life in shame because of the 'Beetlejuice' scandal

Since the particular incident in September 2023, Rep Boebert has faced repeated questioning.

Following the scandal, the lawmaker issued an apology, stating her behavior "fell short of my values."

Having said that, she has occasionally joked about the incident while campaigning.

During a recent Republican primary debate for Colorado's 4th Congressional District, Boebert addressed the incident, saying she had "owned up" to her actions and refused to "live life in shame and be beat up by this."

In her interview with Kaminsky, Boebert was asked how she felt about being one of the more "famous" members of Congress, with the host noting, "I don't know that you're famous for reasons that you want to be famous."

"Do I wish I was less in the spotlight? Yes and no," replied the Colorado Republican, adding, "I mean I don't have personal moments. I wish I was less on an infrared camera, that would be great. So there are those aspects."

She continued, "But also, if I wasn't who I am, and as loud as I am in this spotlight, then I don't believe I would be as effective. Because in Congress, when I speak, people listen."
