No, but I understand one stayed out of the water too long and required some emergency mouth to mouth. There were a whole LOT of volunteers -- not from the male chorus members however.

Yeah, but that story has been drowned by the Sea Gods.

I think they were injured through the classic falling through the set gag. It's kind of like a hazing ritual on Broadway. Your not officially a Broadway show until someone in the cast falls through the set.

YES!

Cody Hanford (although he was Flounder and not a mermaid) got caught in a track and fell down during the show's run in Denver.

Cicily Daniels fell on Broadway.

"Someone in the cast was injured. I don't remember how."

I think you may be referring to Adrian Bailey. I forgot how it happened...it was a trap door or something to do with the boat set piece at the beginning of the show. They ended up starting the show an hour later.

From what I've heard there haven't been many instances where people have fallen, but there have been several performances where tails have fallen off...

Ooops. Well, nothing like getting a piece of tail of a Broadway stage!

There is a video of Marc Kudisch talking about how, when he was in Beauty & the Beast, Mrs. Potts fell down. She couldn't get up on her own, because she had neither arms nor legs, and it wouldn't make much sense for a teapot to help itself up.

Unfortunately, none of the other people on stage had hands either (a candlestick, a clock, etc.)

Belle had to run over and go "Oh, Ms. Potts! You've fallen!" and help her up.

Wasn't there something on one of the other threads about Sherie tripping during a performance?

The blowfish fell once during Under The Sea. That was entertaining.
