Police are 'reviewing evidence' after two women were removed from the Palace Theatre in Manchester last night.
A performance of The Bodyguard musical had to be stopped early at the theatre on Oxford Street on Friday evening after audience members repeatedly sang over the top of performers. The show's producers had asked the public to not sing during the performance, with signs installed around the auditorium.
However, after the musical was briefly paused during its first act to evict a handful of people who would not refrain from singing, police were called 10 minutes before its finale when 'mini riots' and 'fights' broke out among those watching. Video footage showed two women being dragged out of the upper circle of the theatre, with the audience clapping after they were removed.
