The key facts
- At least six children felt nauseated during the “Chudo-Yudo” performance after a dessert from the theater buffet
- The buffet explained that the desserts are not made on site but delivered by a third-party supplier
- The mother of one of the girls tried the same dessert herself without any consequences
What happened at the theater
In Saint Petersburg, during a performance of “Chudo-Yudo” at the LDM. New Stage theater, at least six children felt unwell after a dessert bought at the buffet. SHOT VERIFICATION was told about this by the mother of one of the affected girls, Life.ru reports. According to her, during the intermission parents bought the children “Queen’s Cake” pastries costing 800 rubles, and about ten minutes later several of the children began vomiting — the kids ran to the restroom one after another without watching the performance to the end.
Details according to the mother
The Telegram channel’s source claims she personally saw at least six children of various ages who felt unwell; among them was her eight-year-old daughter — the girl kept feeling nauseous even after returning home, and in the evening the vomiting recurred. The parents turned to theater staff, but they sent them to the buffet, where they were told that the desserts are not made on site but delivered by a third-party supplier. According to the woman, after the complaints the pastry remained on display.
Conflicting details
The mother’s account contains details that make it difficult to interpret the cause of the illness unambiguously: she herself tried the same dessert but experienced no unpleasant symptoms, and at least three parents, together with their children, returned to the auditorium after the incident to watch the rest of the performance. The publication provides no official inspections, diagnoses, or comments from the theater or the supplier, so the link between the illness and the dessert specifically remains, for now, a claim by the parents rather than a confirmed conclusion.
