She concluded: "I want to use my platform for good as always and want to stand up with the performers, front of house and theatre staff especially after seeing what happened at The Bodyguard in Manchester, which has made me sick to my stomach.
Instagram Marisha Wallace, who is currently starring as Miss Adelaide in Guys and Dolls on the Westy End, tweeted a video of the audience enthusiastically dancing and singing at the end of their show. "Speaking of audience control we do this every night at the end of the show and have a great time. People are respectful so we all can enjoy. Love this part of the show!" she tweeted.
One person said: "Cannot believe what I’ve just witnessed at the palace theatre watching the Bodyguard. A mini riot after the show was stopped because audience members were trying to sing over the cast."
