The show must go on, after all.

  During a performance of PIAF by Pam Gems at The Gate Theatre last night, 17th January, a false alarm that led to evacuation added a wholesome quality to the show rather than ruin it. https://www.instagram.com/p/CnH1SDgt4Et/ As you can see from the below clip, the audience was enjoying the al fresco version of the performance, making the most of an unideal situation. https://twitter.com/jomangan/status/1615457791153524738?s=20&t=lWVHAh3fkInUAdvMhgdhug The Gate said this of the experience:

"During the interval for our current production of PIAF by Pam Gems there was a false alarm which resulted in the building being evacuated for a short amount of time. Thankfully everyone was safe but while they waited for further instruction the cast continued performing for our audience outside. It created a wonderful warm atmosphere even though the it was cold outside. The cast thought it was a really special experience!"

Future audiences are surely going to be asking for an outdoor performance after this. Header images via Shutterstock & Twitter/JoMangan READ ON: Extensive damage to Hugo Boss on Grafton Street after break in last night
