      +Nicole Chow it was during the song burn, and she sang the wrong part in the first verse then just stopped.... And I think 3 quarters of the audience didn't know, because they wouldn't know the words.... So my family and I were only a few of the people who knew I think..... But my friend who came with me.. She didn't think anything happened. Right after the show I asked her if she noticed it and she said what are you talking about. Phillipa handled it like a pro. She got back on track at the end, and it was fine everyone still clapped loud.

    God, I can't imagine performing Burn (I assume it was Burn, seeing as she said she was alone onstage) and forgetting your lines to one of the most powerful songs in the play. I'm cringing for Phillipa.

      It had to be Burn lol that may be the best or the worst song to blank during because on one hand, there's no one to help you remember and literally all the attention is on you, but on the other hand, that song is so emotional it could totally be played off as she was just so overcome with pain and anger that she couldn't sing xD

    I don't think she should be embarrassed at all!

The people who have never seen/heard it would never even know she messed up and the people who know every word to the whole play love her and would never judge or make fun of her for goofing up :D

  • @damunaik4
    @damunaik4 4 роки тому

    Someone in one of the comments who's been to this show when she goofed up said she sang lines from the second verse earlier in the first verse and then stopped, then continued. So knowing Burn is her only solo song this is what would've happened. She must've sang "Do you know what Angelica said" but instead of singing it from the first verse she sang it from the second one, and when she reached "how they perceived you" the music wouldn't have stopped like she expected and she would've realized. But there's a pause there anyway, so she can continue with "I'm rereading the letters you wrote to me" as if nothing happened, so it would be a minor mistake that people would only notice if they knew the lyrics well.
