A former Emmerdale actor and star of hit musical The Bodyguard has slammed the "disgusting behaviour" of audience members who "tried to sing over the cast" resulting in "mini riots" and scenes of utter chaos.
On Good Friday, a performance of the musical at the Palace Theatre in Manchester had to be called to a halt early after audience members sang over the cast. Prior to the show, the public had been asked not to sign during performances, with signs installed around the auditorium.
However, despite a handful of initial evictions, there were a group of people who continued to sing and it resulted in the police being called. The Manchester Evening News reports that there were "mini riots" with "fights" breaking out among those watching.
