Yes, it's said for any type of stage show. My kids have been involved in the performing arts so we've been hearing it for years. It's even totally appropriate to say it to 5-year-old kiddies even though ''merde'' literally means ''shit'' as you know.
I never knew anglos said ''merde'' (for ballet or anything else). At least not North American anglos. Maybe the British...
