POLICE descended on a performance of The Bodyguard at Palace Theatre in Manchester to deal with "audience singing".
Eye-witnesses say fights broke out mid-production as "loud" attendees attempted to join in with the star-studded cast.
Fronted by ex-Pussycat Doll Melody Thornton, pictures and videos show riot cops shutting down the show earlier last night.

The Bodyguard has since been cancelled and disgruntled members of the audience have flocked to social media to air their grievances.
One wrote: "I’m new to the world of theatre. But sad and disappointed tonight at the state of some people's arrogance and disrespect while at a show.
