Legally Blonde Dublin show halted as Amber Davies removes theatregoer

"It's ruined the morale of our wonderful eighth show."

The former Love Island winner, who is playing the lead role of Elle Woods in the Legally Blonde the Musical UK and Ireland tour, took to social media to share that a woman was removed from yesterday's matinee show (July 11).

Claiming the theatregoer ruined the cast's 'morale', during the show's interval, Davies said she requested the audience member be escorted out after the cast spotted her filming throughout Act One of the performance.

Theatre etiquette prohibits all video, photography and audio recordings due to copyright concerns as well as distracting performers.

Speaking to 1.3 million Instagram followers, Davies said: "This is your daily reminder not to film at the theatre."

"Unfortunately tonight at the Bord Gáis we've got a beautiful audience, but there's just one woman in the front row has been filmed in the entirety of Act One has had us all distracted. It's ruined the morale of our wonderful eighth show on a Saturday night from selfish actions."

"Hopefully she's not back for Act Two, I've asked, can she go so we can just enjoy ourselves. But there has been a couple of people filming in Ireland this week and I'm the type of person, I will count how many seats away you are from what door and you will be told and asked to leave.

The West End star concluded: "So yeah guys, don't film. Let's just enjoy the two and a half hours together, we don't need to film everything. Okay, right I'm gonna go and do Act Two."

The video has gained traction online, with many praising the former reality TV winner for speaking out.

"Just simply turn your phone off - immerse yourself, get away from technology and enjoy the experience," commented one user.

Another shared their experience: "Once I went to mean girls and the lady’s next to us were shouting vaping and recording the show and the people behind asked the to stop and it almost turned into a fight but please can we just live in the moment! Also sorry that would be painful for the actors sending love x"

Davies is starring in Legally Blonde the musical at the Bord Gáis Theatre until July 18.
