The crowd was more receptive from the beginning. Sheen took the stage about 20 minutes late and got a standing ovation from fans who booed Detroit.

The actor's one-man show kicked off in Detroit as part of a 20-stop tour across North America. Sheen's first tour dates in Chicago and Detroit sold out in just 18 minutes. The tour wraps up May 3 in Seattle.
