The crew of The Lion King musical were subjected to "vile" racial slurs in Dublin.
Bord Gais Energy Theatre has slammed the horrific incident after several performers faced appalling abuse on their journey home from the venue.
A spokesperson for the theatre said: "It is shocking that something so vile and appalling happened to our colleagues who have brought such joy to thousands of theatregoers since the show opened on December 31.
"Bord Gais Energy Theatre and Disney Theatrical Productions strongly condemn all forms of discrimination.
"We fully stand with the performers and crew and have put plans in place to support those affected by this incident. We also urge that those responsible be held accountable and have reported this incident to An Garda Siochana."
Speaking on their Twitter page, the spokesperson added that the Bord Gais Energy Theatre and Disney Theatrical Productions were making a donation to the Irish Network Against Racism.
They said: "Over the last 25 years, The Lion King has been a beacon of optimism and inclusion across the globe.
"Its very presence and vision of the world that our audience experiences while watching the show, is in itself an instrument to change hearts and minds."
