• On June 19, London Ambulance Service sent two crews to Argyll Street in central London in response to multiple heat-related incidents among the crowd
• One spectator was taken to hospital and a second received medical advice and was discharged at the scene
• Some ticket holders complained that the outdoor number undermines their paid theatre experience and creates safety hazards on the public street
• Others praised the balcony performance for making theatre more accessible and adding atmospheric impact for passers-by
