When Shoshana fell into the orchestra pit at Wicked

ROLLED off the stage and FELL into the orchestra pit?

Shoshana told of when she got her foot tangled in the net that's above pit. But I never heard of her or anyone actually rolling and falling into the pit.

I should have elaborated. This video said that Shoshana was running downstage and slipped or tripped, falling into the pit. That may have been over dramatized though and perhaps that was was the same instance where her foot was caught in the netting.

I was just talking to someone about this this afternoon.

I remember it also as she was running and "WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" right into the pit.

It was intentional. She wanted attention.

What is with the deal with Elphabas falling off of/into things?

Nothing's gonna bring her down... Except the raked stage.

Yeah, she wasn't secured to the lift properly, and it started to rise and scared the hell out of her. Apparently she's afraid of heights, too. There was an audio recording on 'that site', but it's since been taken off. It was freaking scary to listen to. Lots of scared screaming from both Kerry and Dianne Pilkington.

Wow this could become a thread about mishaps on Broadway. Not as serious as the Elphaba accidents, but when I saw Legally Blonde, Laura Bell's wig flew off during the Bend and Snap. She responded by saying "Paulette, will you fix my hair". And (to the audience) "thank you for coming to legally bald".

That's pretty cool of her. Apparently there was issues with the salon/chairs one day (they were moving or something out of time, maybe the transition was too lengthy) and LB also impro'd a line. (I can't do it justice but something about what have you got going on here or I didn't know you had something going on here or something, the story was on this forum).

okay so absolutely love the shoshanna falling into the pit incident. That's hysterical, how embarassing for her. I'm surprised I hadn't heard that before. lol. Also I'm loving the Laura Bell Bundy's add-lib after her wig flying off, there's not much to do but joke about it, when something like that happens. lol

I recently went to 9 to 5 and Marc Kudish flipped over in his desk chair and fell to the floor. Megan Hilty was really sure what to do and she looked at Marc and asked if he was ok and while struggling to get up he says "Nope...Im good" After that he popped up and Megan gave him a thumbs up.

Also that day, Stephanie's shoe came flying off when she is supposed to duck when Marc pretends to throw the football at her. She stumbled back onto the couch, giggled alittle, got her shoe and put it on. Then quietly joins Allison Janney and giggles alittle into her shoulder.

Not really a big mishap at all, but when i saw Legally Blonde (Saturday matinee before it opened) during "Legally Blonde" there are champagne glasses that they had just used to toast or something blablabla. Whatever, so Laura starts to sing while they are in the office and she knocks down all three glasses with her hands. She didn't even respond and all everyone(or at least me and my friend) could focus on for the first part of the song was the three champagne glasses rolling around on the floor and her not acknowledging it all.

The scene went on and ending. The scene change happened but the three glasses stayed on, because I guess someone had forgotten it, so when Andy Karl entered onstage he picked them up (as the UPS guy). The entire audience roared in laughter.

So it wasn't that funny reading it now, but a mishap nonetheless.

Everytime I would see Legally Blonde, Cara Massey would always get her heel caught in the stage when she was getting off of the golf cart and fall on her ass. Well she was tipsy to begin with so she just pretended she was more tipsy...LOL.
