Broadway beefs up security at Breakfast at Tiffany's as Game of Thrones fans interrupt play to snap Emilia Clarke's nude scene

A Broadway theater has had to call in extra security to handle the hoards of fantasy fans desperate to catch a picture of a Game of Thrones actress' nude scene on stage.



The Cort Theater has been forced to bring in more staff to enforce its no photos policy for its new production of Breakfast at Tiffany's, reports said today.



The play's preview performances have revealed fans can't help but reach for their camera phones as soon as actress Emilia Clarke undresses for a scene in a bubble-bath, disrupting the play for less starstruck theatergoers.

Game of Thrones, which has attracted a cult-like following, features Clarke in the scantily clad role of Daenerys Targaryen - a warrior princess and 'The Mother of Dragons'.



Producers of the Broadway show are happy to promote their leading lady's role in the popular show and sell tickets to over-eager Thrones fans but it seems they would like them to be a little more restrained when it comes to their enthusiasm.



'On Monday, it was a packed house including a huge contingent of fans of ‘Game of Thrones,' a source told the New York Post .



'What titillated the audience . . . was a full nude scene between Emilia and [male lead] Cory Michael Smith.'

'She undresses him and he gets in the tub,” a source said. “She then goes offstage and comes back in a towel. She takes it off and gets in with him.'



'So you don’t see everything. There are bubbles strategically placed.'

According to the paper the rush of cellphones attempting to capture the scene has prompted the theater to bring in extra staff.



They are hoping the practice can be stamped out during the rest of previews week before the show opens on March 20.



Fans have already rushed to share their appreciation of the actress on stage.



One Twitter user wrote: 'In the second row and could literally reach out and touch Emilia Clarke, she is a flawless goddess. I'm freaking out.'

Another said they would 'drink Clarke's bathwater'.



But others laughed off the attention paid to the steamy scene.



'Emilia Clarke was nude a few times on Game of Thrones, what's the big deal,' one wrote.

The star isn't the first to suffer the camera phone treatment.

Pictures of Daniel Radcliffe naked on stage for Equus spread like wildfire across the internet and audience members were searched for cameras when Nicole Kidman appeared naked in The Blue Room at London's Donmar Warehouse.

The star, 26, must be aware of her allure after featuring in a racy photo-shoot for magazine GQ this month.



Steamy scenes from Game of Thrones, which show the actress in states of undress as her character known as Khaleesi, are typically watched hundreds of thousands times online by fans across the globe.



In an interview with British newspaper The Telegraph the star laughed off her sex-symbol status.

'Ha! Nobody's proposed yet, no. Nobody's gone down on one knee,' she said.



'But my biggest aim in the first season was to keep the fans happy. I knew that Dany was a loved and hated character in the books, and I wanted to be true to everyone's imagination of her while also being true to my interpretation.



'If I've managed that, then fantastic. But I don't really look at stuff online.'

'My life is unrecognizable compared to what it was - Game of Thrones has opened doors that were never there before.



'But it can be dangerous to see it in those terms, I think. It's best to take it as it comes and work as hard as you come, and hopefully the other things fall into place.'



However, fans may be disappointed to learn the rumor that she is dating Oscar host Seth MacFarlane.
