Theatregoers in New York were evacuated from a performance of the Broadway musical 'Jagged Little Pill' after someone released a substance inside the auditorium.

Theatregoers in New York were evacuated from a performance of the Broadway musical "Jagged Little Pill" after someone released a substance -- likely pepper spray, police say -- inside the auditorium.

The play's producers released a statement that appeared to cast the incident as an accident, saying that the show was cancelled "when an audience member's pepper spray went off inside the theater." Few details were provided, but attendees were given information on how to get a refund, the statement said.

When she went over to investigate, her eyes began watering and she showed other symptoms consistent with pepper spray exposure. She alerted security, which evacuated the theatre, the NYPD said. Firefighters helped clear the theater, and the rest of the show was canceled so theater officials could prepare the venue for its evening performance, which went on without incident.
