Gypsy Matinee Accident, and They Broke Character Too! — Page 2

When I saw the matinee back in march ( i saw front row center), the plates went flying too! Luckily no one got hit. One of the dancers handed me an apple as well! Anyone interested in buying it? haha

I was there for that matinee too! I was up in the first balcony. Funny little moment. They broke character, but they worked it.

Such a wonderful performance by Ms. LuPone and the cast.

Where was Houston sitting? I didn't see her but I wish I had cause I like her a lot. I hadn't seen the show before, did they do anything different during the song than they usually do?? I really think that plate thing could be a hazard, but I guess if this was the first time that it actually hit someone then maybe not... as long as she wasn't really hurt then I guess it's okay! I figured since she stayed in her seat it wasn't too bad, it was actually only the third broadway show I had ever seen so it reminded me why live theater is so great (as twisted as that is) lol.

I was there was well. I think Boyd actually gasped.

Boyd gasped because it was actually his plate that rolled into the audience.

Ohh it happened so quickly that we were convinced it was Patti, thanks tomemiller! And yes, actually, when I saw August Osage, there was an instant where a piece nearly hit an audience member, but it basically dangled off the stage. None of the actors seemed to take notice though and no one was hurt. I feel like that its possible to happen with that scene with the intensity that she throws the plates down... or maybe I'm just bad luck when watching!!
