The collapse at the Apollo Theatre took place at 8.15pm during a performance of "The Curious Incident Of The Dog In The Night-Time" at the height of the Christmas holiday season. Plaster from a section of the ceiling tumbled down, bringing parts of the theatre's balconies with it, police said.

Over 700 people were in the theatre at the time, according to the London fire department.

Brian Reardon, a fire brigade commander on the scene, said he did not believe a lightning strike caused the ceiling to collapse but added that the cause would not be known until a full investigation was carried out. London was hit by an extremely heavy thunderstorm about 7pm, an hour before the collapse.

"Complete chaos" erupted as the debris rained down, said Martin Bostock, who came with his family to see the show, which is based on the best-selling novel by Mark Haddon. "At first, we thought it was part of the show," he told Sky News. "Then I got hit on the head."

Scott Daniels, an American tourist who lives in the Dallas area, was in the audience, too. He said he started hearing noises and screaming, before "huge hunks of plaster" started raining down.

"I thought, well, maybe this is part of the play," he told The Associated Press. "A lot of action and dialogue was happening at the same time on stage, but then when the lights went out and everything filled with dust _ everybody was coughing and choking."

Dust-covered theatregoers, many with bandaged heads, were treated by dozens of emergency workers in the street outside the Apollo and at a nearby theater.
