Musical theatre fans have once again had their say on a topical debate following a recent incident in Manchester city centre. Social media users have responded after This Morning presenter Alison Hammond apologised for comments she made on the show regarding audience members singing during the performance of The Bodyguard at Palace Theatre.
On Friday night, the show was forced to end early when police were called after 'fights' broke out among the audience members, who had been singing over the performing cast. All theatre-goers were dramatically told to leave the venue, with one cast member slamming the 'disgusting' behaviour of those who had caused the show to finish 10 minutes before its finale.
Many fans maintain that ticket holders shouldn’t be ‘screeching’ over the cast, which includes The Pussycat Dolls’ Melody Thornton, particularly when spending ‘a fortune’ on tickets. And last night, Alison apologised for making light of the issue of audience singing during a segment on This Morning last week, and admitted she ‘was wrong’ in what she said, after having ‘no idea’ just how disruptive the crowds were.
