Police escort audience members from Grease performance

Four audience members were escorted by police from a London performance of Grease the Musical on Saturday.

The police were called 70 minutes into the show at the Dominion Theatre in London's West End.

Footage on social media shows eight officers entering the theatre during the interval and asking two couples to leave.

Other audience members can be heard chanting "out, out, out!" as well as cheering when the couples are leaving.

A Metropolitan Police statement said: “Shortly before 8.40pm on Saturday 26 August, police received reports of two men and two women causing a disturbance at a theatre in Tottenham Court Road, W1.

“Officers attended and the group were escorted from the premises. No arrests. No injuries reported.”

Grease the Musical, which stars Jason Donovan, returned to the West End in June with its last performance scheduled for 28 October.
