I almost knocked over a huge platform thing during Hedwig. What about you guys?

Right before I was to sing "Tomorrow Belongs to Me" in Cabaret, I caught the wire from my mic on the door and snapped it. I got someone to fix it and still made it on for my entrance.

once during the last night of a show I was in me and my fellow actor skipped over a whole scene which had very important lines in it and a whole song. The audience was pretty confused after this but,hey, we were all ready for teh after party=]

During my audition for "Pippin", I completely blanked on the words to Cockeyed Optimist. I was so confident, so ready for this audition...and I completely forgot the words. But luckily, I picked them up and did just fine.

As for the stage, I was the 2nd understudy for Belle in my summer stock production of "Beauty and the Beast". My first time on, my mic was being absolutely insane right before "A Change in Me", going in and out quite loudly. I improv-ed to the actor who was playing Maurice (with a bewildered look plastered on his face) to explain the noise-

"Oh it's just Gaston shooting those birds again."

No one laughed except for a three-year-old girl who thought everything in the show was funny (especially Gaston "dying"). I have never been so mortified in my life.

It didn't happen to me, but my friend who played Marius in Les Miserables totally forgot the lyrics for "Empty Chairs..." and just sang "Empty chairs at empty tables. Empty chairs at empty tables. Empty chairs at empty tables..." over and over and over and over again for the whole song.

My first time on stage singing a solo, I sang words twice in Farmer and the Cowman:
"One man likes to push a plow, the other likes to push a plow.."

I ran offstage crying (I was 10...)

Being a traditionally well-regarded singer, I once flubbed a note that was the last of the 11:00 number, at a belt, so badly that I actually heard several audience members gasp.It was morbidly humiliating.

Last year in my theater arts class, I did Juliet's monolouge from Romeo and Juliet when she drinks the potion to fake her death. Well, after I said "Romeo I drink to thee" and drank my vile of water, I smacked my head on the table I was using for a bed. It hurt so much and I actually yelled "OW!" really loud for the whole class to hear. But aside from that my monolouge went really well and I got an A, but it was still very embarassing.

I was playing Uncle Thomas in the "Uncle Tom's Cabin" scene in The King and I. I had to wear a huge mask on my face and when I came out of the "house" I didn't duck enough and my headpiece ended up knocking over the whole house. Luckily, this was during a dress rehearsal and the director decided to just start the scene over again.

So..I did HSM at this REALLY big and nice and professional community theatre. It was one of those kind of community theatres that they could charge 45 bucks a seat because it was worth it.

Anyways I played Zeke...and for some reason I TOTALLY forgot to get my cake for "Status Quo" so when I went to do my line for the cake scene I had to make it up...so I fell into Melissa who was Sharpay (Thank GOD her high hill broke) and she was like "SOME ONE WILL PAY FOR THIS STILETTO!" so it worked

I played Prince Charming in Cinderella and during one of my songs I got really dizzy and sang the first verse of the song during a part where the words didn't even fit, but by some miracle, my mic actually didn't pick it up and no one noticed.

OO so many okay when I was 13 I played JoJo in Seussical, the first weekend went great, the second weekend went well except for the second to last show. In "Its Possible" I had to get into the bathtub and sorta get on my knees so the ppl playin the fish in McElliots pool could lift me up and spin the bathtub with me in it. I got in, and they lifted but I leaned back to far and I fell out of the tub. I didnt get hurt, luckly it was still when they were lifting me up so it wasnt to far up off the ground, tho they did have to stop the song so I could get up and wipe myself off AND fix my mic lol
When I was 14 I got the part of Ren in "Footloose" and I dropped the girl playing Ariel (luckly Willard was there and he caught her lol) and also that same show I was singing with Ariel "Almost Paradise" my mic (the mic went up my back, webbed through my hair and onto my forhead, sorta like how they do it for Elphaba and Glinda in WICKED) went out and I had to sing into Ariel's forhead lol
*EDIT* Thought of another
When I played the King in "The King and I" this year I was singing "Its A Puzzlement" and I cracked REALLY Badly within the first verse. and as the song went on the weaker my voice got. Finaly I had to give in and they had the kid who was understudying me finish the show...thats what I get for not warming up enought
