Isa Briones, known for her role as Dr Trinity Santos in the HBO medical drama The Pitt, has condemned theatregoers for disrupting her Broadway performance with inappropriate references to the show. The 27-year-old actress, who currently stars as Connie Francis in the immersive jukebox musical Just in Time, took to Instagram to express her frustration.
“Hey, hey, hey! Once again, Broadway is not a circus,” she wrote. “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 f***ing disrespectful to the performers onstage and your fellow audience members. Y’all are p***in’ me off.” She added: “Love and light and please remember you are occupying shared spaces and watching art.”
This is not the first time Briones has faced such disruptions. In April, a similar incident occurred when a fan shouted “Dr Santos” at her during the show. At the time, she posted on Instagram: “Do not talk to the performers while they are performing on stage (unless you have been asked to). And don’t talk to me on stage and call me Dr Santos. I’m not Dr Santos. I’m not even Connie Francis. I am Isa Briones, one of the actors in the show you have paid to enjoy.”
Briones made her Broadway debut in 2024 as Eurydice in Hadestown before taking on the role of the late singer Connie Francis in Just in Time. The musical, which focuses on the life of Bobby Darin, has received six nominations at the 2025 Tony Awards, including Best Leading Actor for Jonathan Groff, who plays Darin. Briones began her limited run in April and is expected to continue through the spring.
The Pitt, which premiered in 2025 to critical acclaim, has become one of HBO’s most-watched series. The first season earned 13 Emmy nominations and won five awards, including Best Drama Series. The show’s second season premiered in January 2026, and it has been renewed for a third season.
