Lead actress Melody Thornton apologized online to theatergoers who attended the Manchester performance
A performance of the Whitney Houston musical “The Bodyguard” was cut short in Manchester, England, Friday after two people in the audience refused to stop singing along to the show’s finale rendition of “I Will Always Love You.”
The musical, based on the hit 1992 film of the same name starring Houston and Kevin Costner, is currently performing at the Palace Theatre in Manchester. During the show’s finale on Friday, two women in the audience began loudly singing along to the song off-note, leading to actress Melody Thornton’s microphone being shut off and the show abruptly ending with about 10 minutes remaining as police were called to the theater.

“I’m new to the world of theatre. But sad and disappointed tonight at the state of some peoples arrogance and disrespect while at a show,” tweeted audience member Karl Bradley with videos of the disruptive theatergoers.
“Completely ruined #TheBodyguard, singing over the actors, to the point of them cancelling the show & police being called,” Bradley added.
