I was just watching some clips of "Defying Gravity," and I always get nervous when Elphaba throws the broom from one hand to the other-I always worry she's gonna drop it.
Does anyone know if this has ever happened? Or has anyone else had the same thought?

Posted: 10/24/07 at 10:32pmI did a search, and I tried a few different things. If you know of a thread about it, please post it here.

The search engine isn't easy to navigate.
Rytoast, I remember reading around here once that Saycon Sengbloh lost her broom. The actress can't do anything at that point except keep singing.

Posted: 10/24/07 at 10:36pmI've wondered about this every time I've seen Wicked.

Wow the search function is hard to use. I typed in "Broom" and on the second page of matches I found this:

Who invented such a complex system?
There are about 10 other threads (reviews from a certain night, blooper threads etc.) where they mention the broom being dropped.
