Is there a word for playgoers' behavior when hissing and booing the villain?

Alternatives, yes, but hissing and booing is the traditional terminology for what goes on at a panto.– byeFeb 22, 2011 at 17:41

The crowd as a whole, or members of it, could be razzing or heckling.
Some people in the crowd might be a little more obnoxious than others and engage in badgering or taunting, although those are generally more appropriate for a one-on-one situation.

thank you all, heeckling is the very woord, i was worried that it wouldn't be abusive enough...but it seems that it is.– imineiFeb 22, 2011 at 19:16
You can use jeer, catcall, heckle, or hoot.
