NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – Charlie Sheen blasted his way into Radio City Music Hall on Friday night, but the mercurial former sitcom star didn’t quite give a “winning” performance.

It was just the latest chapter in the Sheen saga, reports CBS 2′s Hazel Sanchez.

Despite a 30-minute late start there was a Big Apple welcome for Sheen on Friday night — a rousing standing ovation.

But the fandemonium was short lived. What was slated as a 90-minute show ended after just 45 minutes.

“I got kicked out once. I snuck back in and he sucked both times,” said Gene Cella of Selden.

“They were running around naked and booing and screaming. And it was horrible. For the money that we spent it was an atrocity,” Karen Kitrilakis said.

“He was boring. He had nothing to say. He wasn’t … even his stories that he was telling about his hotel epics were boring,” added Christine Hayes of Ocean Township.

Sheen tried to entertain the crowd with stories of drug use and his sexcapades with prostitutes across the globe.

Loyal fans would not be disappointed.

“Broken foot, crutches and I am here to see Charlie. I love him,” Andrea Sobota said.

“Charlie Sheen delivered exactly what he said he was going to deliver. If these people have an unrealistic expectation then that’s up to them,” added Andrew Wright of Ocean Township.

“Seeing all the interviews and stuff, I thought it’d be fun. Turns out not so much,” Brian Shapiro said.

After lackluster shows in Detroit, Chicago and Cleveland, fans in New York said Friday night was like a broken record.

“No, no, not worth the money,” Sarah Stocker said.

“Charlie, you suck! You should have kept your day job,” Cella said.

On StubHub, general admission tickets for the show were going for $30 and if you wanted to rub elbows with the tiger-blooded warlock, VIP-access tickets were $42.

People who forked over $100 to see Sheen at Radio City may not be so happy to hear that more than 400 tickets could be found online Friday morning for as low as $40.

A second show is set for Sunday at Radio City. Over 800 tickets are still available – some priced at $33.50.

He will defeat himself in death.

Americans are stupid to pay tpo $$$ for his show. Everyboby is suffering with this economy and spend thier money on junk like this. This shows how the education system is in this country. The USA is one big toilet

Bob Sacamanov

Americans are dumb for buying tickets to see Charlie Sheen. says “EricG,” despite the niggling fact that the story says…Americans aren’t buying tickets to see Charlie Sheen,

567567gh

Zionist pig

Mike

Man sucks to be you, a broke bum who can’t afford everything he wants so he goes on here to complain what other people are spending their money on….Average American Joe making a measly $50g’s hating life and living paycheck to paycheck

Eric

50g’s is broke? wow your an idiot

Scott

seems to be going that way doesn’t it?
RTJ

But that is just it dummy. Read the story. Apparently Americans are not going to see the show
A

Americans have also done more for this world than any other country in history. This world would be one big toilet if it weren’t for us Americans!

BF. Paine

Actually, the world really is “one big toilet”–it’s an American Standard!
Ratt

Don’t be so certain. We’ve turned killing babies into a viable business opportunity, and the babies that do manage to survive are fed a lifetime of pharmaceuticals while being taught, in schools, the value of death over the value of life. Perhaps you’re right, we HAVE done a lot for the world …. very very little of it good. Cognitive dissonance rules …. apparently.

Alan G.

Charlie is a sheenius! He put a lot of money in his pocket from the fools at RCMH last night. He’ll do the same Sunday.
Not so crazy.

Edward Barus

Right. Charlie never had to split his 1.8M per episode. You think he’s getting the same deal on the measly 1000s he’s making with this? Hardly.

DR. MENGLE,GOT TWINS?

PRAY TELL WHERE YOU GOT THE NAME..
Wolf

This man needs some serious help. Charlie…. check into a rehab and get honest with yourself. You are a father. Don’t continue to be an embarrassment to your children. Show them your man enough to admit your problems and get help. Life will get better and your rewards will be your children loving and respecting you.
bill burns

maybe Charlie should be replaced with some colored rappers
Mario Palias

Everyone complains about the economy, then people are dumb enough to pay to see his show.
RCDC

Where is Charlie I use to know?
JedEye

Laying bets that Charlie will be dead in 6 months…any takers?

EricG

His 2 goddeses will drain his accounts before he is finnished.
Big Ed

Think he can take that Limey puke, Russell Brand, with him?

JENIKENS

HE IS A LOSER/ GET A REAL JOB LOSER!!
NYC

Cant believe people were stupid enough to buy tixs for his show. Thats what you get suckers!
sandbaggowski

I’ve got a violent torpedo of truth . . . in my pants.
kendra

is he suppose to do comedy or what cause i only know him as an actor and nothing else?
Ellen

He’a going to be at the Foxwoods casino, and rather see him then being at those slot machines hour after hour.

greyfox

Slot machines or Charlie? no contest “SLOT MACHINES”

valoispq

Love you Charlie, keep on going and show everyone what a strong man you are. You make me laugh even when I am tired or sad. Hope your shows are a huge success.

EricG

You are weak and a losser valoispq. You are a low life that takes drugs and gets welfare checks.

Phil

And you know all this how? You have no reason to attack that poster like that. Jerk.

Sandy Lester

Really. Why would you love a drunk, drug abuser, skank chaser?

bklynmaxred

Good Luck Mr Sheen. The world needs an honest enema.
jerald

just don t sit too close to the guy carryin the briefcase !!!
Ant928i

Why are people paying to see him in the current Depression? As was said in Rome…bread and circuses…
L’evitra Qua’shaqua Krumpy

I’d like to be tha meat in a Sheenwich.

Kevin Provance

And minorities wonder why white folks don;t like them so much.

nathan

theres a sucker born every minute and tonite radio city will be full of them
edy

This sas part is that someone’s willing to pay $100 to see this Bozo act like a clown. seriously, this guy’s looking worse every day. what have we come to as a nation. people are unemployed, others are dying around the world and people are paying money to see this guy.

nyc

Paying good money to see a freak show. Smart, rich entertainer with a drug/alcohol problem and other mental issues ! Only in America !

greyfox

I wonder who really is nuts, Charlie or the audiences that pay to see him.
greyfox

After careful consideration they’re both nuts!

Marc

Its all a scam anyone can see that
Charlie is crazy all right…..crazy like a fox
nyc

Must be nice to have $ millions to blow ! Wish he was doing some good for the world with the money.

Billman

He’s helping Japan with some of the proceeds going to Red Cross. Duh!

Edward Barus

Saying you’re doing something, and doing it, are two different things.

Cati

People like him don’t give a good god damn about others, just thier own personal jollies.

Garth

Why or why do we pay so much attention to a useless drunken drug addict, when there are far bigger more pressing issues to focus on ?? If we all ignore this sleeze, he will shrivel up and eventually go away on his own…….

Lindsay Lohan

I couldn’t agree more, Garth.
Phil

LOL. You’re right there in the thick of things, paying attention to a useless sleeze. You need to practice what you preach.
