"It's all kicking off!" I Should Be So Lucky musical HALTED at Opera House amid audience chaos

New pop musical I Should Be So Lucky had to be halted for 14 minutes at Manchester's Opera House theatre - after a disturbance involving audience members. Videos circulated on social media show a man waving his arms at the front of the theatre as security attempted to usher him out, after another person had already been escorted from the theatre.
