Ah, live theatre is great! Though it isn't without flaws. Throughout the history of American theatre, there have been reports of accidents, injuries, and mishaps. Sometimes, even the slightest mistake goes on to be noticed. I'm sure we've all been there. Having to a witness to a mishap on stage. This is the thread where you can recall all the accidents/injuries/wrong line/set falls that you've been witness to.

Though I did not see this production. Ken Jennings, while playing Toby in Sweeney Todd, said that during "Not While I'm Around" that a set collasped and almost crushed both him and Angela. Ironically, this was during the line: "Nothing's gonna harm you, not while I'm around."

During the filming of Putting It Together, Carol Burnett's skirt fell off.
