Amber Davies took to Instagram recently to call out an audience member who was filming during a recent performance of Legally Blonde in Ireland.
"We've got a beautiful audience, but there's just one woman in the front row, been filming the entirety of act one, it's had us all distracted," Davies, who plays Elle Woods in the new UK and Ireland tour of the musical. She shared that she asked staff to remove the disruptive audience member for the musical's second act.
Davies said that the distraction "ruined the morale" of the performance.
"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," she said. "So yeah guys, don't film. Let's just enjoy the two and a half hours together, we don't need to film everything."
