What does it mean by "bring down the house" and how to use it in a sentence?
"His performance was a huge success. The audience brought the house down after he finished." Do I use the expression correctly?

Question

Answer

To bring down the house means to win overwhelming approval from an audience.. Therefore your sentence would sound better this way: His performance was  such a huge success that it brought the house down.
Other example: Her  excellent powerpoint presentation to the clients brought the house down.She received a standing ovation.

Answer

In this case, 'the house' means the theatre; enthusiastic applause would seem to make the theatre collapse.
