A Dolly Parton-themed musical had to be suspended mid-show in Manchester because of homophobic harassment, according to one of the actors in the production. One of the performers in the musical Here You Come Again, Stevie Webb, said that homophobic incidents at the show have become so bad the cast was at one point forced to leave the stage.

Webb, who explained the story on TikTok to his 102.7k followers, said that last Wednesday the whole cast had to leave the stage, because a woman was so disgusted there was a gay character.'Going to a musical and then freaking out about the gheys. That's some funny stuff!
He wrote on TikTok that the incident on Wednesday was followed by a similar moment when a man had to be escorted from the audience for shouting homophobic comments.
Webb said the incidents have really opened his eyes to the realities of homophobia, explaining that the man who was removed from the audience shouted a slur and then: I just want to see Dolly Parton.'
Reminds me of this Onion article.
