A Dolly Parton-themed musical had to be suspended mid-show when homophobic abuse was hurled at the stage, an actor in the production has claimed.
Stevie Webb said an incident at the Opera House in Manchester during Here You Come Again saw the whole cast "leave the stage, because a woman was so disgusted there was a gay character on the stage".
Mr Webb, who plays a superfan of the country music superstar in the show, said there had also been problems during the London run of the production.
He described an incident involving a man shouting an offensive slur and adding: "I just want to see Dolly Parton."
How gay must this gay character be if multiple attendees of a Dolly Parton musical are offended?
