I believe the answer is:

turn on

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'start' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'boo the act now playing?' is the wordplay.
'boo the act now' becomes 'turn' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'playing?' becomes 'on' (on can mean playing or performing).
'turn'+'on'='TURN-ON'

'to' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for turn on that I've seen before include "Start; become hostile towards" , "Excite sexually" , "Person with twenty five [SEX APPEAL]" , "Person or thing with the ability to excite" , "Start working" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
