But the other people in the theatre have a right to watch the show too.
This is why its such a hard question to answer IMO. The disabled person has rights. However so do the other people who are there. Everyone has paid for their tickets...allowing the disruption is pretty much voiding lots of peoples tickets, whereas any other action is dicriminating against the disabled person as they cant help what they are doing.
I would say the blame lies with the carer in this situation :/

The carer doesn't own the disabled person, they are paid to accompany them, not take charge of their lives, if the disabled person is an adult, and is mentally capable of asking to go to a show, then how is that the "carers" fault, even if it is young child the parents may have insisted the child go, who is going to step in and say "no", you couldn't do that to a mainstream child with behavioural problems so how could you do it with a disabled child.
