This is when a West End musical erupted into chaos last night after a foul-mouthed audience member brought the performance to a halt.
Ticket holders at Bat Out Of Hell: The Musical at London’s Peacock Theater were stunned to see the lights come on midway through the performance as security wrapped around the offending man.
He was heard yelling “f***ing c***s” at the meeting before being shown the door.
Audience member Emma Gritt filmed the bizarre interlude as angry theatergoers demanded the troublemaker’s removal.
She said, “People were absolutely furious and a man was screaming across the theater. It was quite dramatic and very uncomfortable
“At first we heard some raised voices on the show and it sounded like a man and a woman were having a fight.

“The man in the audience was still screaming, he wouldn’t leave. He kept shouting “this is my goddamn seat” and he was surrounded by theatergoers. There were people who said ‘shameful!’ cried.’

When the man and his female partner were finally removed by security after a standoff in the stalls, he turned and shouted “f***off” to everyone. Then we heard them yelling at each other in the lobby outside.
