Amber Davies Kicks Out Selfish Theatregoer (and We’re Here for the Drama!)

What’s happening in the world of theatre? Buckle up because a certain Love Island star-turned-West End sensation just served up a slice of juicy drama that could rival any reality show finale. Amber Davies, currently dazzling as Elle Woods in a classic musical, didn't hold back when an audience member decided to turn her performance into their very own YouTube channel.

During a particularly riveting night in Dublin, Amber caught wind of someone in the front row brazenly filming the entire first act. Can you believe it? Is this 2023 or are we still stuck in 2010? Just a reminder: there’s a thing called theatre etiquette, and it seems some people missed that memo. Thankfully, our queen Amber took matters into her own hands.

She hopped on Instagram during intermission (classic move, right?) to drop some wisdom on her followers about the dos and don’ts of theatre-going. "This is your daily reminder not to film at the theatre," she posted, cleverly calling out the audacious woman for ‘ruining the morale’ of the cast. Can we get a round of applause for our girl?

But it doesn't stop there. Allegedly, Amber reported the rogue theatregoer to the staff, insisting, "Hopefully she’s not back for Act Two; that might cramp our style!" I mean, really, who even thinks it’s okay to pull out a phone in a live show? In a plot twist worthy of the West End, Amber even claimed she counts how many seats away someone is from the exit, just in case the drama escalates! Spicy, right?

Is it really too much to ask for a smidge of common decency when attending a performance? Amber just wants to light up the stage without the distraction of someone capturing her brilliance for their own clout. We can all agree that the West End should be a sacred no-phone zone, right?

And there you have it: a peek into the wild and wonderfully chaotic world of live theatre — who knew it was this dramatic?
