Has shows ever been cancled? — Page 2

Yes, I worked at Brooklyn when that whole Paradice thing happened. We sat around for quite a while as they tried to decide what to do. I think they asked everyone and their mother (and father) if they would go on -- nobody was willing to do it.

They finally decided to cancel the matinee (can't remember what time it was), and the girl from Denver had some rehearsal and went on in the evening on book. It was a really great experience seeing her go on -- it was her Broadway debut. I think it was Eden who made an announcement to the audience before the show explaining what was going on, and the audience was incredibly supportive.

The B&TB story is true. From what I know, the theatre has a special on stage vent system to help quickly clear the stage of the smoke from the speical effects. In 98 when they were still at the Palace, they had it replaced and there were some technical difficulties with it. From what I understand, It was too somkey for anyone to handel onstage. However, from the audeince it didn't look as bad as it actually was. So, they had to cancel a couple of preformances to fix it up for the actors safty.

yeaa this one time when i was at chitty the car deflated in the floating on water scene and they haulted the show for about 2 hours and then the cast members came out to the audience and greeted people and then raul esparza was there so he started to sing stough forom the rocky horror show it was really cool though

I cant remember what the problem was but i think it was quite a big problem with the theatre but in the UK when Harry met Sally had to close for a bit.

After watching the show i think it was a sign from God!!
