There is a show stoppage during JERSEY BOYS because of a "backstage incident" and now a stretcher and firemen are on the scene. Not good

Oh my God! Who was it?!
Oh my god ... sending out prayers to the company.
Something must've happened, but I hope that second tweet was misinformation. I REALLY hope.
I'm praying to God it is also...Hopefully it was just a small incident and someone in the audience is jumping to conclusions
It was also tweeted from the web, so I don't think the 2nd person is there :/
From an usher: 1 of the actors passed out backstage... ?? for him... I've honestly never seen this happen in my 3 years @ this theatre... Scary

OMG! I really hope there is something more definitive coming soon, but also that the said actor is OK.
OMG this is terrible. Someone please post something as soon as they know!
I think everything is ok.
The performance must have started back up because all is quiet.
Well the usher said someone "passed out" which could be something very serious or as small as dehydration. I'm starting to think (maybe its wishful thinking) that whoever posted "someone died" just overreacted, misinformed, or something else.

The person who Tweeted that the actor had died just tweeted me and said he's fine now.

People who tweet are basically twits.

That person must have seen RENT a few too many times.

Did SNL make fun of this too in their spider-man weekend update or was it just an odd coincidence?
I'm sure it was just a coincidence. I'll guess they thought they were picking a show that it would be unlikely to have injuries at all.
