(New here *waves Hi* first post!)
Well, during the last Matinee performance of The Witches of Eastwick in the West-End, obviously alot of jokes going on, like during the Wedding of Jennifer and Darryl, instead of the Witches bringing on a little voodoo doll, like they usually did, they brought on a huge blow up doll that looked like Clarke Peters who was playing Darryl, he cracked up for like 10 minutes it was great! The cast had a shaving foam fight during "Dirty Laundry" and came on covered and giggling. Clyde wore Groucho Marx glasses and moustache to make Rosie Ashe who was playing Felicia Gabrial laugh, and it worked, alot.
During Joanna Riding's last matinee performance in My Fair Lady in the west-end, one of the swings dressed up like a transvestite on the underground during "Show me" and I can't remember if it was Alex Jennings or the actor playing Freddie, but they accident threw their newspaper into the audience.
And on Saturday I saw Jerry Springer the Opera (I love this show so much...) and the actor playing Tremont (the transexual) accidently broke his shirt buttons and flung them into the orchestra pit, making everyone crack up because he just looked so shocked and everyone saw it happen because it was during the "Talk To The Hand/he said that I said.." scene, pretty funny. Made the actress playing Zandra crack up for ages.
Also my mate saw Witches of Eastwick before it closed and the wires mech broke when they fly during "I wish I may" and they were stuck mid-air over the stalls during the entire interval, asking the audience and FOH's to throw them ice cream's and to get a bucket because they needed the loo!

Apparently it was very amusing, my friend Chris said they were just dangling there and never managed to break character once, just ad-libbing all this stuff to keep people amused while it was fixed!
