Holy crap. I just got back from Wicked in NYC. Let me say first, Wicked's still got it.
Anyway, when Shoshana ran in for her entrance before "Dear Old Shiz" she ran too far and stumbled and then FELL OFF THE STAGE!! Luckily, there was some kind of tarp platform that caught her or else she would have gone right into the pit! She put a hole through that tarp/platform thing with her leg. Megan ran forward and helped her up. I was in shock, but the show went on as always after that. Really scary.
Review to come.

Posted: 9/20/05 at 11:11pmNo, no. Saycon didn't come on. Shoshana got back on stage with Megan's help. Megan exited like she always does and "Dear Old Shiz" went on like always. So did the rest of the show - amazingly, I might add.

That sucks.
I would have gotten excited Saycon would come on.
Seriously, was she on roller skates?
The stage is huge? WTF was she thinking?
I take it back, a paper bag would never do something so stupid.

EDT: I mean she comes on from waaaaaay far upstage she must have been BOOKING it

yeah, that's what i want to know.
so they didn't stop the show at all? they just continued as normal??
what was the audience's reaction? and what about the ensemble members??? was it a blatant error...
more details please!!
"...But Kungurtseva reels off multiple fouettes and the tape is stopped so she can take a bow. The Jester, an abomination introduced to Swan Lake in Soviet times, extorts applause from the audience. The cuts don't help the storytelling, the production is bare bones and they go for the '50s-style happy ending.
The audience cheers like mad at the end. It's the Russian ballet, after all..."

I would have cracked up
If I won the lotto tonight, the only thing going through my head would be "Whoa, look at that fierce, green jewish girl coming my way. Oh look, she's on aunt harriet's lap now!"

What do you mean was it a blatant error?
You don't just run out having the audience think it was done on purpose.
Shoshana must be reading these boards and thought she'd try to end her contract early.

Posted: 9/20/05 at 11:19pmThe thing is, when Elphaba runs out the stage is really really dark execept for a few spots. And they make her stop at nearly the edge of the stage, so I mean an extra step or a little slip and your a gonner.

Posted: 9/20/05 at 11:24pmedct- that is probobly why there IS as a tarp/net in the pic as described.... amazingly they plan for that but fiyero's F*cking rope manages to screw someone in that scene up majorly with a fair amount of frequency
