Posted: 6/29/08 at 6:22pmNo, 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.

Posted: 6/29/08 at 9:19pmI 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.

Oh, and I almost forgot to mention...I'm the good cop, he's the bad cop.

Posted: 6/30/08 at 5:03amFrom 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...

Posted: 6/30/08 at 8:23amOoops. 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.
