"People do weird things. We were in the middle of the second scene of the first act and we're introducing the characters and I saw in the corner of my eye something shiny falling through the audience and I thought it was maybe a light or something," the Daily Express quoted her as saying.

"I think half the audience didn't even realised it happened. The show went on," she added.
