I would love to see this! Do you have it?



As for the one's I've seen live, Christopher Fitzgerald in Waitress skipped a line or messed it up, which caused him to laugh while reciting his poem to Dawn in the beginning of Act 2. He covered it up well by following up his laughter with, "It's a lot, it's a lot... Uh-huh, YES!"

Recently I saw Beetlejuice and during Day-O, Leslie's dress didn't clip on to the pig. After spinning, she ducked behind a chair at the dinner table and frantically started unraveling her dress.

During the original La Case the set for Albin's dressing room rolls out on the track with George Hearn sitting at his dressing table. At this performance it got stuck halfway out. George just sat there frozen. 4 or 5 crew members came out and shoved it until it went into place down center. The lights go up and the music to (A Little More) Mascara starts. George sings "Once again I'm a little DEPRESSED by the tired old face that I see" letting all his frustration out on the word depressed and then went on with the song. The audience applauded his reaction.
