Just Stop Oil disrupt Les Miserables by jumping up on stage

Just Stop Oil protesters disrupted a performance of Les Miserables at the Sondheim Theatre in London’s West End last night.

The theatre was evacuated and the rest of the show cancelled after activists climbed onto the stage during the first act.

Just Stop Oil said four protesters locked themselves to the stage using flexible bicycle locks at around 8.50pm.

Just stop - just stop oil. They do not hear the people sing. They hear their own egos and self righteousness.

We are too soft, I would have pulled them off the stage.

What has happened to this country ?!
Why was there no one putting them in a headlock fragging them out a back door, then continuing with the performance?
Absolute joke just standing watching them .

Why is it legal to run an organisation that has as its modus operandi, the routine disruption of peaceful and lawful activities. Isn't there something in the law, that concerns public disorder ?

A lot of todays issues is just people turning up to places uninvited.

Someone should have picked her up and thrown her off stage, head first. I am 100% in agreement with needing to reduce our dependency on oil / oil companies.. but not like this.

[Mcfads]

Are they so stupid to realise that pissing everyone off will help their campaign?
Im so upset for the cast and audience its untrue 😢

Oddly, JSO have removed their YT channel. If they reinsate it, try asking them if they use no oil, ever. The silence is deafening.

Don't print their statements. The Telegraph has disgraced itself over the last couple of days.

make them pay the tickets that have to be refunded and the actors that have said they support hem should be kicked out of the show or he show scraped by the theatre as they can not afford this to happen also the people that ravel to see shows are he ones that pay the actors and yet some of he actors don care if their night ruined

Feel for the couples who have organized a baby sitter, this is their first night out together in a long time, its a break from the increasing pressures of everyday life, salt of the earth people, the battlers that make make the system work, road kill .... again....wow!

[Peter-Oxley-Modelling-Lab]

Should have continued the performance and security should have bundled them out. Grow a pair for goodness sake!

[GamerWithFries]

This is why I support giving theater audiences rotten tomatoes, just in case for stupid things like this

[jeffspicolli]

The solution to this problem is stunningly simple.
Arrests "in every case" with citizens detaining these activists for Police and ptosecutions.

[darienkan]

what a joke! Ask those protestors to pay everyone's ticket for such an act OMFG!

[nicolasrobacinni]

And they decide to stop the show by removing the players from the stage meanwhile letting that weirdos to stay on untouchable??!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[thaveldhsohdkeuckebeodbdj]

i can’t imagine how frustrating this was for the actors and technicians. they spend MONTHS working on the show. rehearsing, directing, building sets, making costumes, learning lines, and for it to all be ruined by some activists who do have good intentions but are ruining art for their cause.

[chocolat-kun]

Dont they feel sorry for those performers who practiced day and night for this day?

[jon]

How to alienate large numbers of people

[verysadcatc]

Yeah... Vandalising should make people join their cause.
