The Dolly Parton musical 'Here You Come Again' has come under fire due to homophobic reactions from some audience members. Following performances, actor Steven Webb shared his experiences on TikTok, detailing several incidents where audience members were ejected for expressing homophobic slurs, especially during the final show. Webb emphasized how these attitudes revealed a significant gap in acceptance outside of the theatrical community, noting that such a reaction to gay representation in a Dolly Parton show was unexpected and disheartening. He reflected on the persistent reality of LGBTQ+ representation in entertainment.
The amount of audience members we have had to eject due to homophobia is insane.
It's just me and Dolly Parton on stage, my character and Dolly Parton.
I remember one guy who was shouting the F slur...I just want to see Dolly Parton.
It would be like if I had that reaction to the colour blue. It exists, it's not going anywhere.
