Claps all round: Fresh-faced Keira Knightley beamed with pride as she greeted fans outside Studio 54 following her rousing Broadway debut in New York City on Thursday

Taking a bow: Keira, 30, was a vision of happiness as she thanked the audience for their support following her first performance in Thérèse Raquin, despite a rude interruption minutes into the show

A male audience-member spontaneously asked Keira to marry him minutes after she had taken to the stage for the first time.

The young man arose from his seat and made his way to the stage railing where he shouted at the mother-of-one and her co-star Gabriel Ebert.

Keira maintained a high level of dignity and professionalism throughout the disturbance, remaining in character and concentrating on giving the best performance she could.

Taking it in her stride: Despite the preview show being disturbed by a male audience-member, the mother-of-one maintained a high level of professionalism throughout

Impeccably dressed: The London-born star cut an effortlessly chic figure in a pair of grey tweed cropped trousers, a plain black top, a leather biker jacket and a pair of red leather shoes

However, her refusal to acknowledge him only wound him up further, causing him to shout: 'Five seconds is too long to wait for a response!'

A fellow show-goe-er wrote on Facebook: 'Show was stopped because an audience member, who I thought was part of the cast, stood up by the front mezzanine railing and asked Keira Knightley to marry him.

'He was escorted out, but not before he threw a huge bouquet of flowers from five rows up in the mezzanine on to the stage.'

Keira and her co-stars were forced to break from their roles when security approached the young man and asked him to leave.

Despite the less than ideal interference, the star of the show couldn't have looked happier as she made her way home.

Keira was fresh-faced as she only wore minimal make-up which allowed her natural beauty to shine through and her hair was styled in mermaid waves.

She was as impeccably dressed as always in a pair of grey tweed cropped trousers, a plain black top, a leather biker jacket and a pair of red leather shoes.

No make-up required: Keira allowed her natural beauty to shine through as she wore only a light layer of make-up

That's a wrap: Keira took a bow alongside her co-stars before the curtain closed on them

The show is a stage adaptation of the French novel of the same by Émile Zola.

Thérèse Raquin officially opens on Thursday 29 October on Broadway at Studio 54.
