Most Unprofessional Thing You've Ever Witnessed During a Performance?- Page 4

We did "Evita" my junior year of high school and our director had said before the run "If you don't put your props/costumes away, I'm taking them and locking them in my office." Well, the guy playing Peron didn't really pay attention and his costume was taken away the second night of the run, so we were running around trying to find a costume for him in that entire hour before places! AND THEN HE DID IT AGAIN THE NEXT NIGHT!

However, it was kinda' funny to see Peron in a BRIGHT RED bowtie.

I also did "West Side Story" at a community theatre in town and we did a 4 AM preview (ahhhh!) on the early morning news, and during warm-ups, the guy playing Tony had a fit and walked out because he thought his voice sounded like sh!t. And then, the night after we opened he got beyond wasted at the first of several cast parties and LOST HIS VOICE. They had to transpose the score for him and everything! And THEN, he didn't show up for the cast picture because he fell asleep! Our directors were BEYOND pissed and asked him to step down from the role for the next weekend and had his understudy go on, instead.
