Edinburgh production of The Jersey Boys halted after brawl breaks out in audience

A performance of the hit West End musical The Jersey Boys had to be stopped after a brawl erupted within the audience at a capital theatre.

Members of staff at the Edinburgh Playhouse had to stop the altercation that had broken out in the theatre after what appeared to be a “full-on fist fight” up in the balcony took place around 30-minutes before the sold-out production was due to end.

Those in attendance say that the scuffle kicked off after two audience members were being “rowdy” throughout the show which sparked criticism from others in attendance, the Daily Record reports.
