Shia LaBeouf won't be making his Broadway debut this season after all. The 26-year-old actor has quit the upcoming revival production of the play "Orphans" in New York over "creative differences," according to a news release sent Wednesday. 
 
 LaBeouf has left the show a month before preview performances are set to begin. "Orphans" is still scheduled to open at the Schoenfeld Theater on April 7, with previews commencing on March 19. The production, directed by Daniel Sullivan, also features Alec Baldwin, in the role of a powerful man kidnapped by two brothers. 
 
 Wednesday's announcement did not elaborate on the nature of the creative differences that led to LaBeouf's departure, and no replacement for the actor has been announced. 
 
 "Orphans," by Lyle Kessler, debuted in 1983 at the Matrix Theatre in Los Angeles and is often revived at regional theaters across the country. Director Alan Pakula turned it into a movie in 1987, with a cast that included Albert Finney, Matthew Modine and Kevin Anderson. 
 
 In 2005, Al Pacino appeared in a workshop production of the play, alongside Jesse Eisenberg, at the Greenway Court Theatre in L.A. 
 
 LaBeouf rose to fame starring in the "Transformers" action movies and the most recent "Indiana Jones" installment. But the actor made waves earlier this year by saying that he is swearing off Hollywood blockbusters in favor of riskier, indie-flavor projects. 
 
 He had virtually no theater experience going into "Orphans." He began his career doing stand-up comedy, eventually landing a role on the Disney Channel program "Even Stevens." 
 
 His next movies include Robert Redford's "The Company You Keep" and Lars von Trier's "Nymphomaniac."

 The actor Shia LaBeouf was removed from the Studio 54 theater in Midtown on Thursday and arrested after disrupting a performance of the musical “Cabaret.” 
 
 Mr. LaBeouf, the former star of the “Transformers” movie franchise, was smoking and yelling during the performance, the police said. Officers escorted him out of the show during intermission. 
 
 Mr. LaBeouf, 28, was charged with one count of criminal trespassing and two counts of disorderly conduct, according to the police. He remained in police custody Thursday night. 
 
 A spokesman for the producer of “Cabaret,” the Roundabout Theater Company, said the actor was disruptive during the first act of the two-act musical. 
 
 Benj Pasek, who was nominated for a 2014 Tony Award for his work on the score of “A Christmas Story,” wrote on Twitter that he saw Mr. LaBeouf handcuffed and in tears as six officers surrounded him outside the theater. 
 
 A lawyer for Mr. LaBeouf did not immediately return an email seeking comment on Thursday night. 
 
 The outburst on Thursday followed a string of erratic behavior attributed to the actor. 
 
 Mr. LaBeouf, whose films include “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull” and “Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps,” was set to make his Broadway debut in spring 2013 opposite Alec Baldwin in “Orphans,” but withdrew before the show’s opening because of creative differences with the show’s producers. 
 
 In January, he wrote on Twitter that he was retiring from public life after he was accused of plagiarizing a comic in his screenplay, “HowardCantour.com.” The film, which debuted at the Cannes Film Festival before it was released in December, contained uncredited passages from “Justin M. Damiano” by Daniel Clowes. 
 
 Mr. LaBeouf apologized on Twitter, saying that he got lost in the creative process and failed to credit the writer.
– Shia LaBeouf was set to make his Broadway debut in Orphans, but the actor has walked away from the production less than a month before previews were set to begin. The initial news release cited only "creative differences" for LaBeouf's departure, the Los Angeles Times reported. But LaBeouf quickly took to Twitter last night, posting details involving a disagreement with Alec Baldwin, who also stars in the play. In an email to Baldwin that LaBeouf posted, LaBeouf mentions "bickering" and "a disagreeable situation," but a source tells the New York Post that the actor is just using his incompatibility with Baldwin as an excuse. The truth is LaBeouf "was fired because he wasn’t good in the role," the source says. As of now, the play is still set to open April 7. In happier theater news, Tom Hanks makes his Broadway debut in Lucky Guy, a play written by Nora Ephron, next week, the New York Times reports.
