London musical halted as ‘drunk’ audience member throws BANANAS at actors

During the first half of the show, it seems a woman – under the influence of alcohol – began hurling the fruit at the cast.

After being asked to stop by front of house staff, the unrest escalated – according to WhatsOnStage.

She was swiftly ejected while the show was momentarily halted.

Performer Jodie Jacobs tweeted afterwards: “SHOUT OUT to the woman who got bungalowed at @BananamanShow and began throwing ACTUAL EARTHLY BANANAS at the cast!! 

“She had her party poppers confiscated too! One for the autobiography!”

Co-star Emma Ralston posted: “It’s true. Tonight a drunk lady in the Bananaman audience threw 2 bananas at cast members. A theatrical first. WOW.”

Alex David Vass wrote on his own page: “And the award for most awful audience member I’ve ever witnessed goes to the woman tonight in the front row of Bananaman at @swkplay who, additional to talking continuously, threw a banana at a cast member not once but two times. 

“How does ANYONE deem that acceptable in a theatre?”

Another performer joked that the intruder could have been given a cameo, saying: “It was funny for 2 seconds but seriously….what did she think she was doing?! 

“Had she come to rehearsals we could have given her a cameo!”

Bananaman plays until January 20.
