@AlisonHammond
saying “I’m not even going to go to that show now” because a theatre wants to stop bad audience behaviour and singing along? That and the laughter is infuriating.
Should people be allowed to sing at theatres? 🎭 After one theatre in Manchester banned audiences from singing along,

Absolutely raging at this. Such a bad take. As someone who works FOH I can’t believe the stance here. Irresponsible to encourage people to freely sing-along 🙃

So disheartening to see this especially after seeing

’s video. This is exactly why singing along is discouraged. Sorry for all the audiences who were behaved, and to the theatre staff who had to deal with this 😔
Went to The Palace Theatre in Manchester to watch The Bodyguard and a bunch of entitled pricks starting singing over the lead during the final song. A riot broke out, the show was cancelled and the police were called.

THROWBACK: The original West End run of Monty Python’s Spamalot at the Palace Theatre. The cast led by Tim Curry (it was a real thrill to watch him) as King Arthur.
@EricIdle
and John Du Prez’s musical is a comic joy. This production ran between 2006-2009.

• the atmosphere from the pre-show
• the poise and class of Imelda, the grace of her delivery. The audience was in the palm of her hands
• the standing ovation to the title number

I’m at a loss for words seeing people’s posts who were at the show last night. Ruined experiences, ruined performances for the cast, crew and especially front of house and security who bear the brunt of this behaviour. It’s not even that it’s isolated it’s on the rise 😔
I’m new to the world of theatre. But sad and disappointed tonight at the state of some peoples arrogance and disrespect while at a show.
Completely ruined
