The historic theatre, packed with around 2,000 attendees, quickly filed out following staff instructions. However, not everyone was convinced this was a genuine emergency. Some audience members, skeptical and amused, even lay down on the floor refusing to leave, believing the evacuation was part of Brown’s mind-bending show.
