One of the performers in the musical Here You Come Again, Stevie Webb, said that homophobic incidents at the show have become so bad the cast was at one point forced to leave the stage.
Webb said the incidents have really opened his eyes to the realities of homophobia, explaining that the man who was removed from the audience shouted a slur and then: ‘I just want to see Dolly Parton.’.
Webb, who explained the story on TikTok to his 102.7k followers, said that last Wednesday the whole cast had to ‘leave the stage, because a woman was so disgusted there was a gay character.’.
In a statement sent to Metro, The Palace Theatre & Opera House said: ‘’Our theatre team is committed to creating a safe, inclusive, and welcoming environment for everyone—both on and off the stage.
