The Pitt star Isa Briones is calling out “disrespectful” fans attending her Broadway performances.
“Hey hey hey! Once again, Broadway is not a circus,” Briones, 27, wrote via her Instagram Stories on Saturday, May 2. “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 so f***ing disrespectful to your performers onstage and your fellow audience members.”
She continued, “Y’all are pissin’ me off. Love and light and please remember you are occupying shared spaces and watching art.”
Briones currently stars as Connie Francis in the Broadway production of Just in Time, the musical about legendary singer Bobby Darin. (Gracie Lawrence originated the role and was later replaced by Sarah Hyland before Briones took over.)
“It’s so fun. I’m really having the time of my life,” Briones, who previously made her Broadway debut in Hadestown in 2024, told Rolling Stone last month. “Theater makes me so happy, and I love getting to take a break from TV and from The Pitt to do something that feels so different and so joyous.”
She continued, “I love theater people. It’s just my favorite place to be. I was raised around theater people my whole life and it’s the best, best community in the world.”
On The Pitt, Briones plays medical resident Trinity Santos. Throughout season 2, she balanced treating patients with struggling to find time to complete her medical charts that threatened to hold her back from her studies. With Just in Time, Briones portrays the “Pretty Little Baby” singer.
“I can’t spoil the show for people who haven’t seen it, since it’s [based on] real life. [Connie’s] in a very brief portion of the show, but you see years of growth,” she told Rolling Stone. “From her being a young kid trying to make music to being the superstar of the time, that all happens within 20 minutes.”
According to Briones, she “latched onto” the show’s “suddenness.”
“In the public eye, she’s on top of the world, but she’s going through something so sad in her personal life,” she said. “She can’t be with Bobby and she has a father who is semi-abusive and saying, ‘You’re gonna work your ass off.’”
Briones further acknowledged how Just In Time viewers watch her character perform “through the sadness” during “Who’s Sorry Now.”
“Her father shot a gun in the dressing room right before she was going to perform. It’s this really traumatic moment and then she has to put on a smile and perform,” the actress explained. “That’s something I can connect to right now in this weird time. I have amazing success I’d never even dreamt of. And also, I’m going through my own stuff, but I’m gonna perform through the sadness.”
