Something you weren't supposed to see during a Broadway show — Page 3

Hair. during the nude scene ALL the stage hands gathered in the wings.

Megan in her bubble before the show.

I would've gathered in the wings to see Asa Sommers nude!

When I saw "Piazza", during the bows when Michael Berresse and Sarah Uriarte Berry stand stage left with their arms around each other, Michael kept moving his hand up and down Sarah's thigh and back side and she kept grabbing his hand and putting it back on her waist, trying to still look unphased, even though she clearly was. I don't they he thought anyone could see but she eventually turned to him and whispered something and he stopped.

When I saw the "Little Shop" tour, during the beginning of "Don't Feed The Plants" when the urchins sing and the drop with the logo comes down, they left about a foot between the stage and the bottom of the drop everyone saw the characters' and all the stagehands' feet as they walked out to get ready for the finale. Then one of them ran offstage, told someone and it quickly descended all the way. Offcourse everyone would know how they did it, but it kinda ruined the effect.

In "The Drowsy Chaperone", during Sutton's quickchange behind the umbrella in "Show Off" she sticks part of the first dress into a pouch sewn into the top of the umbrella but it was sticking out when they lifted the umbrella up. It goes by quickly so I'm sure not that many people noticed, but I thought it was kindof neat to see how they did it.

In Lion Kind a crew memeber comes on stage during the stampede scene in order to hook young simba up for I forget what. But yea a crew member walked on with full clothes and a mask and hooked him up. It wasn't that obvious I don't know how I noticed it.

"mrslovett7, the reason that the guy in the chair is a stand-in is because Jonathan Pryce wouldn't have enough time to be there and get around to the other side in time for his entrance. and the guy who plays the stand-in has a wig and is Ton Galanich, u/s for Lawrence."

oh i know lol, I'm just saying that if i were sitting farther back i would have thought it was Jonathan Pryce, it was cool.

I sat front row at Sweeney and I could see the actors warming up and goofing around through the slashes in the curtain before it started. I also saw Donna Lynne Champlin (errr, excuse my poor spelling) switching out her instrument at one point.

IS the curtain for Sweeney see through?

neddy - The material isn't see-thru, but its all ripped and slashed and what not. It's very interesting.

The Sweeney curtain isn't see through, but there are gashes in the curtain (like knife slashes). So you CAN see through it, and see the actors moving around before the show.

I don't think there are any pics.

In WICKED, seeing Jeffrey Kuhn's feet at the end of "Wicked Witch Of The East" when he walked off the stage behind the wardrobe.

I saw the stage right wing for BATB....nothing really out there, just alot of exits and entrances, the normal stuff.

Recently, during a performance of DRS, one of the "palm trees" got caught by the swagging curtain during the transition from Oklahoma to the scene at the foot of the grand staircase. Norbert went after it and tried to fix it, and Gregory Jbara said "Someone must fire the gardener." They laughed about it for a few seconds and then got back on track.
