Information published about the show by London Palladium included further warnings of ‘imitation blood' and 'some violence'
Fan Gerald Dixon told The Sun: “What next? A warning that the hit musical includes catchy tunes?

“This nonsense is enough to make anyone utter the Lord's name in vain.”

Disclaimer: I didn't see the musical, but assume it follows the story from the Bible.

I don't care. It's a fictional story that involves torture, murder and blood.

If movies are labeled as triggering that involve torture, murder and blood, why not this show?

Is it mostly Christians moaning about this?
