Embarrassed Scots family 'treated like children' for miming along to Annie show

A Scots family who went to see Annie at the Edinburgh Playhouse have said that stewards made them "feel like children" after telling them off for miming during the performance.Pensioner Christine Field and her sister Liz McLaughlin, along with their two nieces Dot Smith and Sam Braid, who are in their 40s, purchased their drinks before making their way to their seats on Saturday, March 25.

The family, who are from the city, asked if they would be allowed to sing along with the show tunes but were informed that no singing was allowed in the gallery by a stewardess, reports Edinburgh Live.

The four then decided that when the first song was performed they would mime to one another for a laugh. However they said the stewardess came over during the first number and told them not to sing - despite the fact they said they were just "swaying".This left a bad impression and the women say they were upset by their treatment - with one of the group even apparently followed to the toilets by security.

As well as this, they said a manager ignored their complaints of being "treated like children."Christine said: “I attended a showing of Annie on Saturday, March 25 with my sister and my two nieces.
