What's your worst onstage FAIL?! Tell us in the comments below! 🌸 Click here for more musical mishaps ua-cam.com/play/PLQT9aHBtN_y-68Z7rfBVwSf3gwMKL-_tN.html
in middle school, we did a production where one of the numbers was a dance on rolling desk chairs with desks on top of them. mind you there were only 4 people on stage for this part. we almost rolled off the stage multiple times, ran into each other the whole time, and were a mess to the point we couldn’t even finish the dance because we were laughing so hard...
Katherine Steele I played rapunzel in my schools production of into the woods last year. I had never been in a musical before so I wasn't used to props and on the second night i forgot my fake braid so the bakers wife ripped off the real wig and I had to just play it off even though I'm not a blonde 😓
I was in a production of the kid who ran for president i had a large monologue and I had the biggest burp in the middle so i said excuse me and kept going.
in my high school production of bye bye birdie years ago, my friend was playing the mayor's wife, her on stage husband didn't catch her and you heard the thump on the hard wooden but she kept going.
I was in a production of Beauty and the Beast and when the Gaston went to attack the Beast, GASTONS WIG FELL OFF in front of everybody, and the Beast, being the improv king he was goes “Gaston EXPOSED!!” Everyone in the house and backstage laughed out loud for 10 hours straight!
I have a beauty and the beast production in about 2 week and somehow by the grace of god (or just bad casting) I managed to get gaston and now im terrified of this happening.
I did 13 to, and I played Cassie. I have a story for you. So during Getting Ready, some tech people had to wheel on Kendra’s bedroom so that Kendra and Lucy could have their thing. What we didn’t know was that the platform they were on wasn’t locked in. So Lucy goes to get a hairbrush on the nightstand, and she falls off the platform. She lands flat on her face and she gets a heavy going nose bleed. So when we went on for Any Minute, blood had to be cleaned off the seats. Iconic
Elizabeth Stage I was in that show too, but I think my biggest mishap was not getting in place in my full costume. I was Elle’s father and one of the admissions guys, so if you remember What You Want, there is about a minute of song between Elle’s dad leaving and the admissions scene. I hadn’t learned underdressing very well, so I decided “that’s enough time to change from boat shoes, blazer, polo, and golf pants into a THREE PIECE SUIT WITH BOWTIE AND BLACK SHOES”.
@@feitocomfruta THATS A WHOLE MOOD I played Enid in LB Jr and I had a costume change between so much better and whipped and it was maybe 8 seconds and I had to run on stage after the change and sit down in a chair and I FeLl oFf mY cHaiR
I was also in Legally Blonde once, and one of my 7 roles was DA Joyce Riley (the one who asks Nikos about the thong) So, I had all of Bend and Snap to change from a dress into a FULL SUIT and I can’t have my mic under my shirt, it has to be over my shirt and under my suit jacket because I have to give Elle’s Dad the mic directly after my scene. But, I accidentally had the mic under my dress shirt so I had to unbutton, take out the mic, button it back up and put my jacket and shoes on. By then I was late to be on the set, and I have to bring the stenographer podium. So, the line before My happens as I’m running on stage with my SHOES HALF ON and I do my part later than I should’ve but we got through it and it was awful.
I was in a small play that my theater class wrote. And my line was “I won’t go down without a fight” and then I slipped and fell 🤣 but luckily this was rehearsal
I was in a play called “An Inconvenient Corpse”, and there was a scene where a reported goes to angrily storm out of a courthouse, and he/she (he was played by a girl) grabs onto one of the door handles in the back, yanks it off, shouts “Damn it!”, and then leaves. So on our last night, everything was going as planned, she grabbed the door handle, shouted, and then went to open the door. As she grabbed the real handle, she pulled too hard and YEETED the second one off, and then stumbled backstage. I was backstage at the time, so I couldn’t see the whole thing. It wasn’t until she was backstage and holding up TWO handles that everyone silently died laughing. Throughout the whole show, people kept making jokes about the missing handles. Then, near the end, the sheriff escorts out a girl named Mimi. As they go through the door, the sheriff grabs onto the handle on the inside that we used to close it, and trips. He pulled off the handle on the INSIDE TOO and dragged Mimi in as well. I was positioned to where I could see it perfectly, so I said “The other one too! This whole town is fallin’ apart!” Everyone broke character and couldn’t stop laughing for like half a minute, my friend and I had a line, but we couldn’t stop laughing, so she held up a book in front of her face. We eventually made it through, and it is now forever immortalized in our recording of that nights performance.
Benjamin Williams I love that so much... was it a funny play? Because if it was a comedy than that just adds to the charm but if not then that’s still one of the best theatre stories ever 😂
Alright, so in the scene, before the scene where Kurt and Ram get shot in heathers (the one where Veronica calls the jocks to "seduce" them) we had this phone we were supposed to use to answer Veronica. It had always been on this movable dresser thing. Unfortunately, our director moved it last minute, and we had no idea where it was. After like ten seconds I just said "screw it" and made a phone with my hand (you know with your thumb and pinky finger) and did the whole call like that. Luckily, the audience thought it was hilarious, and I got complimented on my improv skills, so that's cool
same thing happened to me when I was in Working the Musical, as the trucker needs to pull out his phone. I didn't have my phone in my pocket as I was supposed to, so I preteneded to hold a phone. No pinky-thumb just a phone. Talked to my friend after who didn't even notice!
I was in Hairspray (playing Tracy!) and in this one scene Motormouth missed her line and the stage was just dead silent for like 15 seconds and then out of nowhere Edna just shouted “CHICKEN AND WAFFLES”
Rockie i was in hairspray too but i was tammy, and when corny was announcing amber to do her song (cooties) he forgot all his lines so she just walked up and started singing
Ok, I've got 4 theatrical mishaps. 1. I played "Kate" in Annie, and I accidentally went onstage with my glasses on. 2. I was a wolf in Beauty & the Beast, and I was supposed to jump onto the Beast during that one scene everybody should know when the Beast gets hurt, and when I landed safely on the ground, my wolf mask flipped off my face. 3. Not technically me, but still worth mentioning, my sister and I both played "Ladahlord" in James and the Giant Peach, and when we were dancing on stairs, my sister tripped on the stairs as I sang the words, "A magical trip" 4. I played "Young Simba" in the Lion King, and everytime we performed the gorge scene, I couldn't help but laugh because it was funny to me. Lol save me I still mess up and I'm going into my 5th show.
That ladahlord thing is hilarious😂😂😂 ladahlord is my absolute dream role. Am in James rn and am playing screaming woman, dream mom, and a chorus. It’s my first bigger than chorus so I’m very happy 🤗🤗🤗🤗
I was playing Vivienne in Legally Blonde and I was late to get on stage for the proposing scene. The rest of the cast was great and used their awesome improv skills to say that Vivienne was at Starbucks. Warner had to run off stage to get me, and I was completely flustered when I got back on stage. I was so embarrassed but luckily it was the night nobody I knew was there, and not the one that was recorded.
in my schools version of legally blonde Elle took waaaay too long to get her bunny costume on before the party scene and Warner whipped out some fantastic improv skills by getting excited over a game of monopoly. don't ask questions
oooh i have a similar situation! so i was tinkerbell in Peter Pan and we were at the Indian camp scene and peter was late so wendy said “well im sure peter will be here any moment” and then a couple seconds later he came on and said “sorry! wrong Indian camp” and then we went on. it was cool.
Oh, and during “Chitty Chitty Bang Bang”, the car turned sharply on stage and the front right wheel broke off the car, over the orchestra pit, and into the 4th row of audience members. To “cover”, the boy playing Jeremy screamed “OH MY GOSH!!! OUR WHEEEEEEELLLL!!!!”
In my production of Chitty, (ended up being canceled bc of COVID but this was before that) we had people being each part of the car. If that happened for us, it would’ve been so hilarious.
Two years ago when I was in the 6th grade, my dad took me to Chicago to see Hamilton. He wasn't able to get a ticket, but there was one- for me to be able to see the show. It was amazing- exactly as I imagined it. But in the first act I sung along with the actors since I knew all the words. Horrible mistake. I could not sing. A guy two seats to my left tapped me and asked me to be quiet since he couldn't hear the actors. Never more embarrassed in my ENTIRE life! ~^~ (But the rest of the show was really great!)
Ok the one that comes to mind for me is Thoroughly Modern Millie. I was ensemble in the big opening number. I am NOT a great dancer, so I was back row and we were doing kicks. Well, my shoes were a size too big and my flat goes flying clear over everyone's heads to the front row. I was in a panic, but I kept dancing until some kind soul from the front row kicked it back to me and I worked putting it back on into my choreography. 😂
My school just did a production of Newsies. We had a cash box for all the coins for when Newsies would buy their papers. At least 3 times, the cash box would get knocked off the stand, spilling all the coins over the stage. 😂😂
my sister walked in as i was watching this and just heard " i was just soaked in blood. i was just wet and squishy !" then she walked right out. needless to say, this is a video that probably shouldn't be put out of context lol
Hey at least you were the director bc even tho it may have looked obvious you weren’t in the scene, there would be no one to yell at you (hopefully!) lol
I did Peter Pan and I was a pirate. There was a part where the pirates were supposed to kidnap the "Indians" so I climb up the set (like giant stairs kinda?) and start to kidnap someone. I trip on their foot at the bottom of the stairs, the set is moving, and I'm half on the ground and half on the set. I can't get up and I fall right behind Smee. So Smee has to turn around and PICK ME UP and I ran offstage laughing so hard
I missed my entrance in shakespeare’s A Winters Tale as the Bear, effectively erasing the most iconic stage direction in history “exit pursued by bear”
During my FIRST major role in Chicago (I was Mama), I fell down the stairs on the OPENING night RIGHT AFTER the first bit of my solo (after thei 'because the system works, the system called reciprocity') and sprained my ankle in the process Still did the final two shows in heels though ;)
I was onstage doing a performance of Cinderella, and I was singing “Impossible” and I repeated one line and I was so scared that my director would be mad.
Do this long enough and you will forget a song lyric or a line. We all try our best to keep it from happening but we’re not robots that can repeat a performance perfectly, every time. I wish. It happens.
When I was in Aladdin,I was the magic carpet(guiding a puppet), and the other person who was the other part of the carpet didn't come on! And it was a carpet flight scene! the genie covered it up though and was like "carpies looking a little limp today Aladdin why don't you help him out"
My highschool theatre never used glow tape. Until I walked off a ramp in Midsummer's Night Dream, and broke my ankle... And the director decided we should have glow tape... My senior year I played Annie (in Annie) I fell down the stairs while singing. Daddy Warbucks ended up catching me at the bottom, and I had a broken ankle again. I also broke my wrist in a different production. I'm a hazzard to the industry. 😂
One time when I was playing Timon in lion king my pants just fell off. Luckily I was wearing leggings under them and it kinda worked with the character, but it’s on UA-cam somewhere and it haunts me
I just had a callback for my school musical frozen, and they asked me to sing for the first time in forever, one of the audition cuts, and I had JUST finished my dance audition, so I was out of breath. This was also the audition cut that I had ruled out immediately because it didn’t fit my voice. I was also really nervous and it just wasn’t a good combination. My body was just like HA! I’m gonna make you forget how to breath! So during the entire cut I was just gasping I still got middle elsa tho!
i barely remember this cause i wasn’t in the show, but the boy who played horton would never remember his lines and mumble during the songs, so he’s not allowed to be in any shows anymore 😅😅
oh my god i'm playing mrs. and one time during here on who instead of singing "and war is unbearably near" i sang "our perfect little boy" and it still haunts me
So, one time when I was doing newsies, I played bunsen. So we were doing intermission and I was in the back talking with people and no one told me that the show had restarted so they did a whole scene without me knowing and when my scene was on next they still didnt tell me and they started the scene and they finally told me and I made it just in time for my line😭😭
my worst onstage mistake is the time i forgot my entrance _multiple times_ in our show of curious savage. if you don’t know, it’s a play about a woman hiding bonds from her three evil stepchildren and they put her in a mental institution and high jinks ensue. i played mrs. paddy, a woman who hates everything in the world, most of all electricity (she gave it up for lent and is constantly turning off lights) and only speaks to say the things she hates. she also paints the worst picture of oceans, even though she’s never seen one. we were having a show where nothing went right. our hannibal forgot his cards for an important scene and they had to improvise with newspaper. our set crew didn’t move the thumbtacks back to their original spot for my scene involving them so i had to _get up_ like three lines before it started. our doctor emmet forgot her line about kicking the children out and there was a long pause of silence, it was awful. but our lilly belle forgot a line and cut out a whole scene by accident. she hadn’t even realized until she got backstage and someone told her. she was super upset and i was helping comfort her until i hear all these lines being said that i needed to be on stage for. so i tried as smoothly as possible to slip back through the curtain. i also low key missed my entrance at the end of act two which _sets the climax in motion_ anyway, i’m an idiot and it was terrible
All I Ask of You reprise Me: you alone can make my song take flight Me: *oh shit, wrong lyrics, pause, pause* Me [spoken]: all... that the phantom asked.... is not...... AHHHAhHahahHahHhhhhh *twirls cape so hard I spin twice* Raoul, Christine, and I: *silently, yet violently laughing side stage*
Yesterday my class was doing our final acting exam for this year in college and we were performing it in the classroom, we were nearly finished the piece, one character had just been screaming in pain and we were all holding him down and then a lecturer for down the corridor came onto the stage part of the class without knocking and said “I CANT WORK LIKE THIS! My class are studying for a sociology exam” and I found out afterward someone had told her “you can’t go in there, they’re doing an exam and it’s being filmed” and she said “well my class are doing sociology” and just walked past her, she tried to ruin our exam just to spite us for making noise, she’s never complicated before and we’ve never screamed during that scene except for once when we stayed hours after class to rehearse so we knew we wouldn’t disturb anyone, luckily everyone stayed in character and when she left we finished the piece and we all passed, but we could have had to resist the exam just because she couldn’t handle some noise for a few minutes
Ok this is mine (it's really my fault but it was still embarrassing): I was sharpay in our school musical (I go to a REALLY small school) and since it was junior high we did the jr version. In the junior version Zeke (the kid who likes sharpay) smacks the pie in sharpays face during status quo. Backstage before it happened someone was putting the whipped cream inside the pie pan. They filled the ENTIRE thing. So we do the part and he realizes there is way too much and tried to not splash it everywhere. It has to go in my face. We had to do this is our church (small catholic schools lol). So we did the part and my entire dress, my hair, my face, and the people around me got splashed with whipped cream. My mic which I moved out of the way was covered. I have to scream after it so I kinda push it off my face and scream and run off to wipe all of it out. Everyone on stage and in the audience gasped because there was SO much whipped cream. It was crazy. I had to change into a different costume because my costume was drenched. Intermission was right after that so my friends in the show, and I ran to the bathroom that wasn't the one the audience went to. I had to wash my hair with the hand dryer and I was soaked. I was sticky and my hair smelled like whipped cream for the rest of the day. So that was my story 🤭😂
@@theatremomhope609 That kinda reminds me of when Sophia Anne Caruso had to go offstage to puke in the middle of her song 'Home' in Beetlejuice. I think it was one of, if not, the last performance she did for that show too.
Audrey Leshawna OKAY LET ME TELL YOU!!!! Jeremy and Micheal will STILL friends AFTER the musical! Jeremy was drunk in the bathroom scene, and he DIDN’T MEAN to call Micheal a loser!!! And Micheal forgave Jeremy after that! Think about commenting something like that next time.
I played Fiona in a production of Shrek the musical and the basket got caught behind the curtain. It was a good minute of me just kind of singing awkwardly trying to find the basket😂
My mishap is when I was in my community theaters production of shrek the musical (I was fiona 😊) on opening night with about a half hour left in the show my mic broke, and due to the fact that I was on stage so much during the end of the show except for my to ogre quick change we we’re able to give me a new one, but they tried so I ended up going back on stage as an ogre with two mics dangling from me as I sang the finale very loud It was not the best time
i was in seussical this year and we were doing “horton hears a who” and i was the leader of a few people who had to walk on and start singing, and... i walked out eight counts early said “who, who was a wh-“ and stopped realizing i walked out early and then just awkwardly stood there on stage doing the dance steps and i was thinking the whole time: omg i just walked out the wrong time and i made a big deal omg snjdjdbwmidbdnakka and my mom got it on camera and it looked like it was on purpose so i guess i made too big of a deal about it 😂
My favorite stage mishap: I was in Guys and Dolls and one of my cast-mates forgot their lines during a performance. Everyone paused for a moment and then I stepped in and saved the scene. During intermission, our director went backstage and thanked me.
Not directly on stage but when I did Avenue Q a couple of months ago I tripped over a wedding veil (that show is so wild) and faceplanted onto the corner of a set piece.... needless to say it was *NOT* fun
I was in a winter charity fundraiser and did a monologue. We did not practice on stage so , when the show started, I stood there for about 30 seconds without saying anything because I didn’t know when to start. I will NEVER live that down.
My biggest theater fail? I performed in Frozen and it was the scene whenever Hans gets punched in the face. Hans would fall backwards and someone else (let's name her Emily) and I had to catch him so he wouldn't fall. Emily and I would drag him off stage. The thing is, we would have to rush back onstage to deliver some lines. So, Emily gets back on stage, but I can't. You see, other people had to be onstage for the NEXT scene, and they were blocking the curtain entrance. I'm literally whisper-shouting at them to move, but they were too busy watching the show that they've already watched 3 times. I finally get on stage after nudging them out of the way. It was too late to deliver my lines, so I just came on awkwardly...welp.
God I HATE it when people do that. The next person who does that to me will get punched in the face cos otherwise it just makes the show less professional and more messy
The last show I did was Grease, and the show went fairly smoothly, except for one performance toward the middle of the run. During "We Go Together", I was standing on some steps, dancing. My mind starts wandering and I thought "These steps are pretty shallow, I hope I don't fall"...and then I did. Luckily I caught myself and almost no one could tell I had fallen, but it was the night we were filming, so my fall may have been immortalized. It was fun, though, the mistakes make the show more memorable!
Once I was backstage and like RIGHT before we went on... I lost a tooth and I had a line that was pretty critical to the scene so I had to go on. So I just stood there holding my tooth barley singing and blood dripping down my mouth... I was in suessical by the way 😂😂😂 also I love you Kat soooo much this cult meeting is my favorite part of my week 💕😁❤️😊😂
so, one time i was in a play. and the character i was playing was supposed to act very annoyed, but not angry. so, there was this one part in one scene i was doing, where i have to say goodbye to a character i didn’t like. for some reason, i don’t know what came over me, but i literally said “bye” in the harshest way possible, i was thrown off from my delivery but couldn’t contain my laughter and i literally just started cackling in front of the cast and audience. they were so confused.
I was in the Stephen Sondheim‘s production of Cinderella. I played the character charlotte the evil stepsister. My dress was bright orange and extremely long. It was probably the most obnoxious thing I’ve ever seen... and I loved it ! I also had to wear very high-heeled character shoes. Anyway there is a set of stairs for a specific scene at the ball. The stairs were surprisingly high considering they were Just a set peace. As I was walking down someone stepped on my dresser behind and I tumble down the stairs. My character shoes ended up being covered with paint. Even though the paint was dry. I was bruised for weeks. Luckily I was able to pull off the fall because my character was clumsy. Thank goodness. I did accidentally break a few of my cast mates. someone even asked the director how they choreograph my fall. Thank the lord for my character !
I was in Newsies, and in this song called “Once and For All” we had to raise up a big sheet of paper made to look like a newspaper article, and I held it upside down, confidently. It was only after I got off stage I realized this, and I think my soul left my body.
Once I had an audition and I went into the audition completely prepared, wasn’t even nervous (for the first time) and I was all warmed up and I went into the room. I gave my sheet music to the pianist and stood in the centre of the room, it comes time for me to start singing and my voice cracks like 15 times in the first 30 seconds of the song, and I’m a girl, who NEVER gets voice cracks, I was so embarrassed. Thank you for listening to my story :))
omg when I was in Into the woods as Rapunzel I don’t remember which night it was but I was getting sick and not feeling it atm, and I accidentally went up my tower AT THE WRONG TIME🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
Rebinging these videos, but I played Leaf in Spelling Bee and one time I had to fall off a chair and I fell off the chair RIGHT ONTO my mic pack. I was screwed, so I thought- but then an Ensemble member noticed the mic near my face slid off and she SLAPPED it so hard, but it worked in the show context! Bless her, she ran across stage and saved my life that day
Just 1 that I can think of, and it wasn't during the performance, but at a rehersal in tech week. I was in Hairspray, and during bows our Edna was coming onstage, as one does, and he slipped and slid to the middle of the stage. It was so funny and EVERYONE cracked up!
Omg so I was Scuttle in The Little Mermaid Jr. and one time my rock wasn’t on and that was the one scene where I actually used it A LOT, so I literally had to improv the whole scene😂😂👍
This poor girl I know got shoved into being Sebastian halfway through a month of practicing for The Little Mermaid Jr. because the other girl ended up not being able to make it. She was going to be Scuttle but her Jamaican accent was flawless. She did fantastic
one time during a fighting scene in Aladdin my sword broke and during when Jasmine met Aladdin we were supposed to stop and be in slomotion i started talking
i love your videos so much! sometime in the future would you consider doing captions or having someone do captions for you? i often watch youtube with the sound off because of sensory overload and i have a dear deaf friend who would really enjoy your videos but struggles without captions. anyway, lovely video as always. your eye make-up was on point
I have 4 stories: 1. During the Lion king Jr., right before "He Lives In You", when Rafiki was waving her staff around, the string of beads BROKE, and there were beads everywhere. The Star Dancers had a dance routine in that area. Nobody fell, but it was still scary. 2. In Elf Jr., Buddy DROPPED THE SNOWGLOBE backstage. I didn't hear anything, but everyone knew about it. Luckily, we had a backup for that very scenario. 3. Also during Elf Jr., we were getting ready to take our cast photo. I was completely dressed when I remembered that I needed my Santa hat. I asked the costuming director where it was, and she said she didn't know. We were looking everywhere for it for a solid 10 minutes. They started wheeling on the props for the photo. They wheeled on the Christmas tree. Guess what the topper was? MY HAT. A parent voulenteer found it "lying around" and put it on top of the tree. 4. During Mary Poppins Jr., I was back in the break area since I wasn't onstage. I was looking for my pants, and I couldn't find them. I looked down in horror to see that I was still wearing them. Luckily, they were grey, and they kinda went with my Ms. Brill outfit.
I was in a musical called “Emma The Pop Musical” and during a scene when we were about to dance a lot my glasses fell off in the middle of me dancing. I had to grab them very quickly and this boy almost stepped on them.
Wasn’t me but when I was into the woods one of my close friends played bakers wife. My mom recorded the scene when milky white died. The lights weren’t turning off. So the guy who played milky white sat up and walked away. The dead cow, stood straight up and walked away. 🤣🤣
I had something similar happen when I played Cogsworth in Beauty and the Beast. Our director decided to have the Beast and the Prince played by two different people. So on opening night, after the Beast dies and Belle tells him she loves him, the lights never turned off and the guy who played the Beast crawled off stage and the Prince crawled into his place in view of the audience.
I was in a production of Midsummer Night’s Dream, and it was outside during the summer. There was a fairly low chance of rain so we brought some sheets and what not just in case, though we did not think it would rain. It rained. We started scrambling to cover the props table and costume rack in these sheets and then huddled underneath them backstage with our scripts. It actually got to the point that we had to stop the play because it was raining so hard. So we’re just standing there underneath these sheets not knowing what to do, and then our director actually came backstage and decided to have us go into the audience and hold the sheets over their heads so they wouldn’t get rained on while we waited for it to clear up. So we did. It did clear up and we were able to continue the show, we just had to be very careful as we ran around since ground was pretty wet.
As a high school freshman I landed the lead in the play and I was so jazzed! The lights, the adrenaline from the crowd and the new suit I got made me totally excited to make my debut. Most of the cast were seniors so I wanted to do well. So, the pivotal moment where my line gets the person arrested...I totally spaced! I mean I couldn’t think of ANYTHING. Since I worked with some seasonal folks they closed act 1 and at the open of act two they improvised to catch the audience up. I was so sad but ever since then I keep my script and read constantly when I’m not onstage. 🤦🏾♀️
I was in a production of James and the Giant Peach (my first lead role! It was super rewarding) in this production, we had a set of rolling stairs to access a second level of the “Peach” and these stairs had a vendetta against me, Night 1. They don’t lock into place, yay! Free rolling stairs! Night 2. I fall down the stairs, my foot misses the step and I slide, hit the bottom, and as in character as possible I remark “I’m okay” and continue with the scene (thank you cast mates for improving that) Night 3. I fall down those god forsaken stairs AGAIN and cut my freakin hand open, this is all in a blackout and I run offstage to get a bandaid because I am actively bleeding, get patched up and have missed my cue. So instead of the smooth tiny flying peach handoff between Lahdahlord and I, I HAD NO PEACH, what did I do? I grabbed the hat from my head and pretended like everything was normal. It was a circular hat, that’s fine right?
I was in a verryyyyy budget version of Wicked playing Elphaba. In the scene where Elphaba shares her lunch with Dr. Dillamond, when I go to hand him the wrapper, his head is a little too close and I accidentally brush against his fake stick-on moustache. No big deal, right? Wrong. The thing goes flopping onto the floor. Both of us turn out heads away from the audience and just stare at it for a second before I perk up with "OH, IT'S OK DR. DILLAMOND! We all get it! It happens with age!" I was mortified but the crowd laughed so hard at that so I guess it was fine. Also, the moustache wouldn't stick on his face again so the crew kinda just threw it onto the floor or something, because during the scene at the train station, the moustache was STUCK TO GLINDA'S dress. I heard someone whisper to their friend "there's something on Galinda's side" (small theatre) so I say "Galinda, you need to shave." And take off the moustache and throw it off stage. Apparently, the Glinda cried about that later so I feel bad. My girlfriend was also in a production of Six the Musical. I wasn't in it, but I knew everything from it cause she always rehearsed with me. So it's going well one night during a show, but right at the start of I don't need your love, my girlfriend falls off the platform at the back of the stage. HARD. So hard, in fact, that she full-on broke her ankle. There are still two more songs left, and she didn't have an understudy so I got pulled out of the audience and go backstage with the director and was stuck into the show starting at the very end of IDNYL. They knew I knew it all cause we were always together. Thing is, I was wearing a white shirt and navy leggings and didn't have time to change into a costume (I later found out that they didn't have another costume) so they go out and ASK my girlfriend, who is just sitting outside with some random woman waiting for an ambulance, TO GIVE ME HER ANNE BOLEYN SKIRT. She did though, but it was like 3 sizes too big cause I didn't know it was adjustable, so I was holding it up the whole time whilst trying to keep up with the choreography AND hold the microphone. My girlfriend was out of the show for two weeks (6 shows) so I had to do it. Thankfully, I did get her costume to fit right.
I was on stage and had to do a series of kicks in one song and I managed to kick the mic directly in front of the stage which made such a loud noise.. hated myself 😂
I played Gavroche in a production of Les Mis and at one point I’m supposed to climb the back of a barricade in silence without anyone noticing when Javert sings a small solo (Not Stars) i then sing a tiny section when he goes of. As I climb up one night I slip and hit the ground terrible, I doubt anyone heard but I’m sure the entire audience hear me scream “Oh Crap” before climbing back up and singing my solo clutching my elbow in pain.
In our production of Cinderella, Cinderella forgot to leave her shoe and so the Prince picked up a rose and said "Look she left her shoe". Everyone was crying backstage...
Ok so one of my favorite theatre oopsies that happened to me was when I was in a production of Mary Poppins. So this is our dress rehearsal but with an audience, to explain we do a test run with our city’s elementary kids for one of our last dress rehearsals and in the scene mr. banks is supposed to get down this vase from the shelf and then says a line and I come through the door and i break it, but on this night the thing won’t come off, like our mr banks is a strong guy and he almost took off the shelf because it wouldn’t come off and so mrs banks improvised something along the lines of well it’s not much value to us if it’s stuck on our shelf and she dashes off stage and mr banks improvised and jumped ahead to “a man has dreams” and all the while I’m behind the door waiting for my cue. Edit: I realized that the vases caused a lot of trouble for us in the show because on one of the nights (I think it was like our second show?) during the vase break 1) I hit him in the face with the door and 2) he cut his hand on the ceramic shards so he was bleeding onstage (he kept going though). Ah good memories.
in mary poppins in my school, when mr.banks gets escorted to the house by the police officer looking rlly crazy, the girl who played robertson ay was supposedd to take off his vest but her finger got stuck in the button hole and she couldnt get it out and the audience started wildly laughing
One time during my show of Les Mis in the beginning of the play (where Valjean talks to the farmer) the music tracks just stopped! It was opening night and in the first 5 minutes something went wrong. Luckily our Valjean and farmer improved and so did me and the ensemble behind them. From the audience it probably looked okay, but I could tell that my cast mates were terrified. The music tracks came back on after what felt like an eternity, then everyone ran off stage and we all freaked out. Also from Les Mis it was the closing night 15 minutes before places and I’m one of the constables so I’m onstage right away, the problem was that I left my jazz shoes at home. I called my dad and he promised to bring them. It felt like forever, and just when I was about to accept going onstage barefoot, he came and gave me my shoes!! I will never leave for theater without checking for them again!
My damage is that in summer camp (during before the virus) we were performing lion king and I was Banzai ( a hyena) and I was supposed to say “RIGHT ED?” but I said “RIGHT BANZAI?!” Oh god , I’m banzai...

in middle school, we did a production where one of the numbers was a dance on rolling desk chairs with desks on top of them. mind you there were only 4 people on stage for this part. we almost rolled off the stage multiple times, ran into each other the whole time, and were a mess to the point we couldn’t even finish the dance because we were laughing so hard...

I played rapunzel in my schools production of into the woods last year. I had never been in a musical before so I wasn't used to props and on the second night i forgot my fake braid so the bakers wife ripped off the real wig and I had to just play it off even though I'm not a blonde 😓
I was in a production of the kid who ran for president i had a large monologue and I had the biggest burp in the middle so i said excuse me and kept going.
in my high school production of bye bye birdie years ago, my friend was playing the mayor's wife, her on stage husband didn't catch her and you heard the thump on the hard wooden but she kept going.

I was in a production of Beauty and the Beast and when the Gaston went to attack the Beast, GASTONS WIG FELL OFF in front of everybody, and the Beast, being the improv king he was goes “Gaston EXPOSED!!” Everyone in the house and backstage laughed out loud for 10 hours straight!

When I was in 13 the musical (I was Brett) I got my hand stuck in the tampon machine.
Iconic.
😂👌
I’m doing 13 really soon and I have to say, I really hope that happens 😂😂
I did 13 to, and I played Cassie. I have a story for you. So during Getting Ready, some tech people had to wheel on Kendra’s bedroom so that Kendra and Lucy could have their thing. What we didn’t know was that the platform they were on wasn’t locked in. So Lucy goes to get a hairbrush on the nightstand, and she falls off the platform. She lands flat on her face and she gets a heavy going nose bleed. So when we went on for Any Minute, blood had to be cleaned off the seats. Iconic
im in 13 the musical this year. heh
and also: HAHAHAH
I haven't listened to that musical (well, my friend played the songs for me once, but I don't remember any of them-) so this comment is amazing

My feet yEeTeD out from under me during legally blonde the musical... During whipped into shape... I was Brooke.... Living my best life
We love that 😂😂😂
Elizabeth Stage I was in that show too, but I think my biggest mishap was not getting in place in my full costume. I was Elle’s father and one of the admissions guys, so if you remember What You Want, there is about a minute of song between Elle’s dad leaving and the admissions scene. I hadn’t learned underdressing very well, so I decided “that’s enough time to change from boat shoes, blazer, polo, and golf pants into a THREE PIECE SUIT WITH BOWTIE AND BLACK SHOES”.
@@feitocomfruta THATS A WHOLE MOOD I played Enid in LB Jr and I had a costume change between so much better and whipped and it was maybe 8 seconds and I had to run on stage after the change and sit down in a chair and I FeLl oFf mY cHaiR
I was also in Legally Blonde once, and one of my 7 roles was DA Joyce Riley (the one who asks Nikos about the thong) So, I had all of Bend and Snap to change from a dress into a FULL SUIT and I can’t have my mic under my shirt, it has to be over my shirt and under my suit jacket because I have to give Elle’s Dad the mic directly after my scene. But, I accidentally had the mic under my dress shirt so I had to unbutton, take out the mic, button it back up and put my jacket and shoes on. By then I was late to be on the set, and I have to bring the stenographer podium. So, the line before My happens as I’m running on stage with my SHOES HALF ON and I do my part later than I should’ve but we got through it and it was awful.
Allow me to summarize this video
*Blood*
hereonly2comment more like blood slipin’ slide
I was in a small play that my theater class wrote. And my line was “I won’t go down without a fight” and then I slipped and fell 🤣 but luckily this was rehearsal
This is actually the funniest comment here.
I was in a play called “An Inconvenient Corpse”, and there was a scene where a reported goes to angrily storm out of a courthouse, and he/she (he was played by a girl) grabs onto one of the door handles in the back, yanks it off, shouts “Damn it!”, and then leaves. So on our last night, everything was going as planned, she grabbed the door handle, shouted, and then went to open the door. As she grabbed the real handle, she pulled too hard and YEETED the second one off, and then stumbled backstage. I was backstage at the time, so I couldn’t see the whole thing. It wasn’t until she was backstage and holding up TWO handles that everyone silently died laughing.
Throughout the whole show, people kept making jokes about the missing handles. Then, near the end, the sheriff escorts out a girl named Mimi. As they go through the door, the sheriff grabs onto the handle on the inside that we used to close it, and trips. He pulled off the handle on the INSIDE TOO and dragged Mimi in as well. I was positioned to where I could see it perfectly, so I said “The other one too! This whole town is fallin’ apart!”
Everyone broke character and couldn’t stop laughing for like half a minute, my friend and I had a line, but we couldn’t stop laughing, so she held up a book in front of her face. We eventually made it through, and it is now forever immortalized in our recording of that nights performance.
Benjamin Williams I love that so much... was it a funny play? Because if it was a comedy than that just adds to the charm but if not then that’s still one of the best theatre stories ever 😂
WAIT MAYBE THE DOOR HANDLES WERE RIGGED
Alright, so in the scene, before the scene where Kurt and Ram get shot in heathers (the one where Veronica calls the jocks to "seduce" them) we had this phone we were supposed to use to answer Veronica. It had always been on this movable dresser thing. Unfortunately, our director moved it last minute, and we had no idea where it was. After like ten seconds I just said "screw it" and made a phone with my hand (you know with your thumb and pinky finger) and did the whole call like that. Luckily, the audience thought it was hilarious, and I got complimented on my improv skills, so that's cool
That’s honestly amazing 😂
same thing happened to me when I was in Working the Musical, as the trucker needs to pull out his phone. I didn't have my phone in my pocket as I was supposed to, so I preteneded to hold a phone. No pinky-thumb just a phone. Talked to my friend after who didn't even notice!
wow. you have better impov skills than anyone at my school.
The title scares me but also it’s the reason I clicked
I was in Hairspray (playing Tracy!) and in this one scene Motormouth missed her line and the stage was just dead silent for like 15 seconds and then out of nowhere Edna just shouted “CHICKEN AND WAFFLES”
Rockie that’s a mood 😂
😂😂😂
Was that the dirty boogie scene??? I just played Velma and posted my show mishap from that one.
Arianna Sardo That was probably it, I also played Velma!
Rockie i was in hairspray too but i was tammy, and when corny was announcing amber to do her song (cooties) he forgot all his lines so she just walked up and started singing
Ok, I've got 4 theatrical mishaps.
1. I played "Kate" in Annie, and I accidentally went onstage with my glasses on.
2. I was a wolf in Beauty & the Beast, and I was supposed to jump onto the Beast during that one scene everybody should know when the Beast gets hurt, and when I landed safely on the ground, my wolf mask flipped off my face.
3. Not technically me, but still worth mentioning, my sister and I both played "Ladahlord" in James and the Giant Peach, and when we were dancing on stairs, my sister tripped on the stairs as I sang the words, "A magical trip"
4. I played "Young Simba" in the Lion King, and everytime we performed the gorge scene, I couldn't help but laugh because it was funny to me.
Lol save me I still mess up and I'm going into my 5th show.
That ladahlord thing is hilarious😂😂😂 ladahlord is my absolute dream role. Am in James rn and am playing screaming woman, dream mom, and a chorus. It’s my first bigger than chorus so I’m very happy 🤗🤗🤗🤗
Omgosh I played Kate literally yesterday
I was playing Vivienne in Legally Blonde and I was late to get on stage for the proposing scene. The rest of the cast was great and used their awesome improv skills to say that Vivienne was at Starbucks. Warner had to run off stage to get me, and I was completely flustered when I got back on stage. I was so embarrassed but luckily it was the night nobody I knew was there, and not the one that was recorded.
in my schools version of legally blonde Elle took waaaay too long to get her bunny costume on before the party scene and Warner whipped out some fantastic improv skills by getting excited over a game of monopoly. don't ask questions
LOL vivienne’s at Starbucks!! 😂😂
I am so jealous of those improv skills
oooh i have a similar situation! so i was tinkerbell in Peter Pan and we were at the Indian camp scene and peter was late so wendy said “well im sure peter will be here any moment” and then a couple seconds later he came on and said “sorry! wrong Indian camp” and then we went on. it was cool.

Oh, and during “Chitty Chitty Bang Bang”, the car turned sharply on stage and the front right wheel broke off the car, over the orchestra pit, and into the 4th row of audience members. To “cover”, the boy playing Jeremy screamed “OH MY GOSH!!! OUR WHEEEEEEELLLL!!!!”
hahahahahahaha
In my production of Chitty, (ended up being canceled bc of COVID but this was before that) we had people being each part of the car. If that happened for us, it would’ve been so hilarious.
Two years ago when I was in the 6th grade, my dad took me to Chicago to see Hamilton. He wasn't able to get a ticket, but there was one- for me to be able to see the show. It was amazing- exactly as I imagined it. But in the first act I sung along with the actors since I knew all the words. Horrible mistake. I could not sing. A guy two seats to my left tapped me and asked me to be quiet since he couldn't hear the actors.
Never more embarrassed in my ENTIRE life! ~^~
(But the rest of the show was really great!)
IGuessI'mSortaBasic Yeah I thought you said: took me to see Chicago , then Hamilton lol
Ok the one that comes to mind for me is Thoroughly Modern Millie. I was ensemble in the big opening number. I am NOT a great dancer, so I was back row and we were doing kicks. Well, my shoes were a size too big and my flat goes flying clear over everyone's heads to the front row. I was in a panic, but I kept dancing until some kind soul from the front row kicked it back to me and I worked putting it back on into my choreography. 😂
Nice 😅

I did Peter Pan and I was a pirate. There was a part where the pirates were supposed to kidnap the "Indians" so I climb up the set (like giant stairs kinda?) and start to kidnap someone. I trip on their foot at the bottom of the stairs, the set is moving, and I'm half on the ground and half on the set. I can't get up and I fall right behind Smee. So Smee has to turn around and PICK ME UP and I ran offstage laughing so hard
Catalina Thomas i in a Peter Pan show too, i was a pirate
I missed my entrance in shakespeare’s A Winters Tale as the Bear, effectively erasing the most iconic stage direction in history “exit pursued by bear”
During my FIRST major role in Chicago (I was Mama), I fell down the stairs on the OPENING night RIGHT AFTER the first bit of my solo (after thei 'because the system works, the system called reciprocity') and sprained my ankle in the process
Still did the final two shows in heels though ;)

I was onstage doing a performance of Cinderella, and I was singing “Impossible” and I repeated one line and I was so scared that my director would be mad.
Yeah, That song is pretty easy to mess up. 😂
@@chunkymedicine3510 CINDERELLA is easy to mess up, the show is just faults and confusing songs...
Do this long enough and you will forget a song lyric or a line. We all try our best to keep it from happening but we’re not robots that can repeat a performance perfectly, every time. I wish. It happens.
When I was in Aladdin,I was the magic carpet(guiding a puppet), and the other person who was the other part of the carpet didn't come on! And it was a carpet flight scene! the genie covered it up though and was like "carpies looking a little limp today Aladdin why don't you help him out"
My highschool theatre never used glow tape. Until I walked off a ramp in Midsummer's Night Dream, and broke my ankle... And the director decided we should have glow tape...

I also broke my wrist in a different production. I'm a hazzard to the industry. 😂

I just had a callback for my school musical frozen, and they asked me to sing for the first time in forever, one of the audition cuts, and I had JUST finished my dance audition, so I was out of breath. This was also the audition cut that I had ruled out immediately because it didn’t fit my voice. I was also really nervous and it just wasn’t a good combination. My body was just like HA! I’m gonna make you forget how to breath! So during the entire cut I was just gasping

So, one time when I was doing newsies, I played bunsen. So we were doing intermission and I was in the back talking with people and no one told me that the show had restarted so they did a whole scene without me knowing and when my scene was on next they still didnt tell me and they started the scene and they finally told me and I made it just in time for my line😭😭
This sounds like a bad dream
I said “HEY” really stern and loud on accident during a loud crowd scene
my worst onstage mistake is the time i forgot my entrance _multiple times_ in our show of curious savage. if you don’t know, it’s a play about a woman hiding bonds from her three evil stepchildren and they put her in a mental institution and high jinks ensue. i played mrs. paddy, a woman who hates everything in the world, most of all electricity (she gave it up for lent and is constantly turning off lights) and only speaks to say the things she hates. she also paints the worst picture of oceans, even though she’s never seen one.
we were having a show where nothing went right. our hannibal forgot his cards for an important scene and they had to improvise with newspaper. our set crew didn’t move the thumbtacks back to their original spot for my scene involving them so i had to _get up_ like three lines before it started. our doctor emmet forgot her line about kicking the children out and there was a long pause of silence, it was awful.
but our lilly belle forgot a line and cut out a whole scene by accident. she hadn’t even realized until she got backstage and someone told her. she was super upset and i was helping comfort her until i hear all these lines being said that i needed to be on stage for. so i tried as smoothly as possible to slip back through the curtain. i also low key missed my entrance at the end of act two which _sets the climax in motion_
anyway, i’m an idiot and it was terrible

Yesterday my class was doing our final acting exam for this year in college and we were performing it in the classroom, we were nearly finished the piece, one character had just been screaming in pain and we were all holding him down and then a lecturer for down the corridor came onto the stage part of the class without knocking and said “I CANT WORK LIKE THIS! My class are studying for a sociology exam” and I found out afterward someone had told her “you can’t go in there, they’re doing an exam and it’s being filmed” and she said “well my class are doing sociology” and just walked past her, she tried to ruin our exam just to spite us for making noise, she’s never complicated before and we’ve never screamed during that scene except for once when we stayed hours after class to rehearse so we knew we wouldn’t disturb anyone, luckily everyone stayed in character and when she left we finished the piece and we all passed, but we could have had to resist the exam just because she couldn’t handle some noise for a few minutes
Ok this is mine (it's really my fault but it was still embarrassing): I was sharpay in our school musical (I go to a REALLY small school) and since it was junior high we did the jr version. In the junior version Zeke (the kid who likes sharpay) smacks the pie in sharpays face during status quo. Backstage before it happened someone was putting the whipped cream inside the pie pan. They filled the ENTIRE thing. So we do the part and he realizes there is way too much and tried to not splash it everywhere. It has to go in my face. We had to do this is our church (small catholic schools lol). So we did the part and my entire dress, my hair, my face, and the people around me got splashed with whipped cream. My mic which I moved out of the way was covered. I have to scream after it so I kinda push it off my face and scream and run off to wipe all of it out. Everyone on stage and in the audience gasped because there was SO much whipped cream. It was crazy. I had to change into a different costume because my costume was drenched. Intermission was right after that so my friends in the show, and I ran to the bathroom that wasn't the one the audience went to. I had to wash my hair with the hand dryer and I was soaked. I was sticky and my hair smelled like whipped cream for the rest of the day. So that was my story 🤭😂
lol i feel bad but it's hilarous.
Same thing happened to our sharpay but our zero aimed for her chest as to not cover the mic

It was not the best time
i was in seussical this year and we were doing “horton hears a who” and i was the leader of a few people who had to walk on and start singing, and... i walked out eight counts early said “who, who was a wh-“ and stopped realizing i walked out early and then just awkwardly stood there on stage doing the dance steps and i was thinking the whole time: omg i just walked out the wrong time and i made a big deal omg snjdjdbwmidbdnakka and my mom got it on camera and it looked like it was on purpose so i guess i made too big of a deal about it 😂

My biggest theater fail?
I performed in Frozen and it was the scene whenever Hans gets punched in the face. Hans would fall backwards and someone else (let's name her Emily) and I had to catch him so he wouldn't fall. Emily and I would drag him off stage. The thing is, we would have to rush back onstage to deliver some lines. So, Emily gets back on stage, but I can't. You see, other people had to be onstage for the NEXT scene, and they were blocking the curtain entrance. I'm literally whisper-shouting at them to move, but they were too busy watching the show that they've already watched 3 times. I finally get on stage after nudging them out of the way. It was too late to deliver my lines, so I just came on awkwardly...welp.
Actors can me SUPER annoying sometimes.
God I HATE it when people do that. The next person who does that to me will get punched in the face cos otherwise it just makes the show less professional and more messy
@@Liv-vz1hb yeah and it makes the person trying to get on look bad
Our Hans had to get his foot fake stomped on but he lifted up the wrong leg......

The last show I did was Grease, and the show went fairly smoothly, except for one performance toward the middle of the run. During "We Go Together", I was standing on some steps, dancing. My mind starts wandering and I thought "These steps are pretty shallow, I hope I don't fall"...and then I did. Luckily I caught myself and almost no one could tell I had fallen, but it was the night we were filming, so my fall may have been immortalized. It was fun, though, the mistakes make the show more memorable!

so, one time i was in a play. and the character i was playing was supposed to act very annoyed, but not angry. so, there was this one part in one scene i was doing, where i have to say goodbye to a character i didn’t like. for some reason, i don’t know what came over me, but i literally said “bye” in the harshest way possible, i was thrown off from my delivery but couldn’t contain my laughter and i literally just started cackling in front of the cast and audience. they were so confused.
I was in the Stephen Sondheim‘s production of Cinderella. I played the character charlotte the evil stepsister. My dress was bright orange and extremely long. It was probably the most obnoxious thing I’ve ever seen... and I loved it ! I also had to wear very high-heeled character shoes. Anyway there is a set of stairs for a specific scene at the ball. The stairs were surprisingly high considering they were
Just a set peace. As I was walking down someone stepped on my dresser behind and I tumble down the stairs. My character shoes ended up being covered with paint. Even though the paint was dry. I was bruised for weeks. Luckily I was able to pull off the fall because my character was clumsy. Thank goodness. I did accidentally break a few of my cast mates. someone even asked the director how they choreograph my fall. Thank the lord for my character !
Oh man I played a stepsister in cinderella and I felt that 😂 so glad my inability to dance worked with my character
in ninth grade i auditioned for les mis with “scales and arpeggios” from the aristocats..............
i still cringe thinking about it

Why is this the best thing I’ve ever read
BEDTIME STORIES IS MY FAVORITE SERIES ON THIS CHANNEL YESSSS
I was in Newsies, and in this song called “Once and For All” we had to raise up a big sheet of paper made to look like a newspaper article, and I held it upside down, confidently. It was only after I got off stage I realized this, and I think my soul left my body.
Once I had an audition and I went into the audition completely prepared, wasn’t even nervous (for the first time) and I was all warmed up and I went into the room. I gave my sheet music to the pianist and stood in the centre of the room, it comes time for me to start singing and my voice cracks like 15 times in the first 30 seconds of the song, and I’m a girl, who NEVER gets voice cracks, I was so embarrassed. Thank you for listening to my story :))

omg when I was in Into the woods as Rapunzel I don’t remember which night it was but I was getting sick and not feeling it atm, and I accidentally went up my tower AT THE WRONG TIME🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
I was buddy in elf the musical and I forgot the second verse of worlds greatest dad. So I just ran around on stage😂
I was Comforting New Yorker™️ in Elf
I was Ms. Greenway in that show (gender swapped) and I dropped a line during 'Buddy the Elf' lmao
I was Emily in the Jr version 😂
I’m currently Jovie in Elf Jr and the guy in my profile pic is our Buddy
Rebinging these videos, but I played Leaf in Spelling Bee and one time I had to fall off a chair and I fell off the chair RIGHT ONTO my mic pack. I was screwed, so I thought- but then an Ensemble member noticed the mic near my face slid off and she SLAPPED it so hard, but it worked in the show context! Bless her, she ran across stage and saved my life that day
Just 1 that I can think of, and it wasn't during the performance, but at a rehersal in tech week. I was in Hairspray, and during bows our Edna was coming onstage, as one does, and he slipped and slid to the middle of the stage. It was so funny and EVERYONE cracked up!
Omg so I was Scuttle in The Little Mermaid Jr. and one time my rock wasn’t on and that was the one scene where I actually used it A LOT, so I literally had to improv the whole scene😂😂👍
Isabel Zuvic I’ve been there before...
This poor girl I know got shoved into being Sebastian halfway through a month of practicing for The Little Mermaid Jr. because the other girl ended up not being able to make it. She was going to be Scuttle but her Jamaican accent was flawless. She did fantastic
one time during a fighting scene in Aladdin my sword broke and during when Jasmine met Aladdin we were supposed to stop and be in slomotion i started talking
i love your videos so much!
sometime in the future would you consider doing captions or having someone do captions for you? i often watch youtube with the sound off because of sensory overload and i have a dear deaf friend who would really enjoy your videos but struggles without captions.
anyway, lovely video as always. your eye make-up was on point
In an old audition, I sand “The Perfect Nanny” from Mary Poppins musical. I’m an alto.
i tried auditioning for martha in heathers!
...singing "holiday" by green day.
...while also being an alto....
Oh honey......
I have 4 stories:
1. During the Lion king Jr., right before "He Lives In You", when Rafiki was waving her staff around, the string of beads BROKE, and there were beads everywhere. The Star Dancers had a dance routine in that area. Nobody fell, but it was still scary.
2. In Elf Jr., Buddy DROPPED THE SNOWGLOBE backstage. I didn't hear anything, but everyone knew about it. Luckily, we had a backup for that very scenario.
3. Also during Elf Jr., we were getting ready to take our cast photo. I was completely dressed when I remembered that I needed my Santa hat. I asked the costuming director where it was, and she said she didn't know. We were looking everywhere for it for a solid 10 minutes. They started wheeling on the props for the photo. They wheeled on the Christmas tree. Guess what the topper was? MY HAT. A parent voulenteer found it "lying around" and put it on top of the tree.
4. During Mary Poppins Jr., I was back in the break area since I wasn't onstage. I was looking for my pants, and I couldn't find them. I looked down in horror to see that I was still wearing them. Luckily, they were grey, and they kinda went with my Ms. Brill outfit.
I was in a musical called “Emma The Pop Musical” and during a scene when we were about to dance a lot my glasses fell off in the middle of me dancing. I had to grab them very quickly and this boy almost stepped on them.
Yessssss! I was missing bedtime stories!!!❤️
Wasn’t me but when I was into the woods one of my close friends played bakers wife. My mom recorded the scene when milky white died. The lights weren’t turning off. So the guy who played milky white sat up and walked away. The dead cow, stood straight up and walked away. 🤣🤣
I had something similar happen when I played Cogsworth in Beauty and the Beast. Our director decided to have the Beast and the Prince played by two different people. So on opening night, after the Beast dies and Belle tells him she loves him, the lights never turned off and the guy who played the Beast crawled off stage and the Prince crawled into his place in view of the audience.
I was in a production of Midsummer Night’s Dream, and it was outside during the summer. There was a fairly low chance of rain so we brought some sheets and what not just in case, though we did not think it would rain. It rained. We started scrambling to cover the props table and costume rack in these sheets and then huddled underneath them backstage with our scripts. It actually got to the point that we had to stop the play because it was raining so hard. So we’re just standing there underneath these sheets not knowing what to do, and then our director actually came backstage and decided to have us go into the audience and hold the sheets over their heads so they wouldn’t get rained on while we waited for it to clear up. So we did. It did clear up and we were able to continue the show, we just had to be very careful as we ran around since ground was pretty wet.
one time someone missed a line so i tried to cover for them and then they started saying their line and we both said it
I saw this on my recently uploaded and I was like, “ right it’s Thursday.”
I was in a production of Annie Jr. And I was molly. My line was MAMA MAMA MOMMY! but i said MAMA MOOMOO MOMMY!
As a high school freshman I landed the lead in the play and I was so jazzed! The lights, the adrenaline from the crowd and the new suit I got made me totally excited to make my debut. Most of the cast were seniors so I wanted to do well. So, the pivotal moment where my line gets the person arrested...I totally spaced! I mean I couldn’t think of ANYTHING. Since I worked with some seasonal folks they closed act 1 and at the open of act two they improvised to catch the audience up. I was so sad but ever since then I keep my script and read constantly when I’m not onstage. 🤦🏾♀️
I was in a production of James and the Giant Peach (my first lead role! It was super rewarding) in this production, we had a set of rolling stairs to access a second level of the “Peach” and these stairs had a vendetta against me,
Night 1. They don’t lock into place, yay! Free rolling stairs!
Night 2. I fall down the stairs, my foot misses the step and I slide, hit the bottom, and as in character as possible I remark “I’m okay” and continue with the scene (thank you cast mates for improving that)
Night 3. I fall down those god forsaken stairs AGAIN and cut my freakin hand open, this is all in a blackout and I run offstage to get a bandaid because I am actively bleeding, get patched up and have missed my cue. So instead of the smooth tiny flying peach handoff between Lahdahlord and I, I HAD NO PEACH, what did I do? I grabbed the hat from my head and pretended like everything was normal. It was a circular hat, that’s fine right?
I was in a verryyyyy budget version of Wicked playing Elphaba. In the scene where Elphaba shares her lunch with Dr. Dillamond, when I go to hand him the wrapper, his head is a little too close and I accidentally brush against his fake stick-on moustache. No big deal, right?
Wrong.
The thing goes flopping onto the floor. Both of us turn out heads away from the audience and just stare at it for a second before I perk up with "OH, IT'S OK DR. DILLAMOND! We all get it! It happens with age!" I was mortified but the crowd laughed so hard at that so I guess it was fine. Also, the moustache wouldn't stick on his face again so the crew kinda just threw it onto the floor or something, because during the scene at the train station, the moustache was STUCK TO GLINDA'S dress. I heard someone whisper to their friend "there's something on Galinda's side" (small theatre) so I say "Galinda, you need to shave." And take off the moustache and throw it off stage. Apparently, the Glinda cried about that later so I feel bad.
My girlfriend was also in a production of Six the Musical. I wasn't in it, but I knew everything from it cause she always rehearsed with me. So it's going well one night during a show, but right at the start of I don't need your love, my girlfriend falls off the platform at the back of the stage. HARD. So hard, in fact, that she full-on broke her ankle. There are still two more songs left, and she didn't have an understudy so I got pulled out of the audience and go backstage with the director and was stuck into the show starting at the very end of IDNYL. They knew I knew it all cause we were always together. Thing is, I was wearing a white shirt and navy leggings and didn't have time to change into a costume (I later found out that they didn't have another costume) so they go out and ASK my girlfriend, who is just sitting outside with some random woman waiting for an ambulance, TO GIVE ME HER ANNE BOLEYN SKIRT. She did though, but it was like 3 sizes too big cause I didn't know it was adjustable, so I was holding it up the whole time whilst trying to keep up with the choreography AND hold the microphone. My girlfriend was out of the show for two weeks (6 shows) so I had to do it. Thankfully, I did get her costume to fit right.
Oh good, I was about to sell my soul to Hades for another Bedtime Stories video.
I was on stage and had to do a series of kicks in one song and I managed to kick the mic directly in front of the stage which made such a loud noise.. hated myself 😂
I played Gavroche in a production of Les Mis and at one point I’m supposed to climb the back of a barricade in silence without anyone noticing when Javert sings a small solo (Not Stars) i then sing a tiny section when he goes of. As I climb up one night I slip and hit the ground terrible, I doubt anyone heard but I’m sure the entire audience hear me scream “Oh Crap” before climbing back up and singing my solo clutching my elbow in pain.
In our production of Cinderella, Cinderella forgot to leave her shoe and so the Prince picked up a rose and said "Look she left her shoe". Everyone was crying backstage...
Ok so one of my favorite theatre oopsies that happened to me was when I was in a production of Mary Poppins. So this is our dress rehearsal but with an audience, to explain we do a test run with our city’s elementary kids for one of our last dress rehearsals and in the scene mr. banks is supposed to get down this vase from the shelf and then says a line and I come through the door and i break it, but on this night the thing won’t come off, like our mr banks is a strong guy and he almost took off the shelf because it wouldn’t come off and so mrs banks improvised something along the lines of well it’s not much value to us if it’s stuck on our shelf and she dashes off stage and mr banks improvised and jumped ahead to “a man has dreams” and all the while I’m behind the door waiting for my cue.
Edit: I realized that the vases caused a lot of trouble for us in the show because on one of the nights (I think it was like our second show?) during the vase break 1) I hit him in the face with the door and 2) he cut his hand on the ceramic shards so he was bleeding onstage (he kept going though). Ah good memories.
in mary poppins in my school, when mr.banks gets escorted to the house by the police officer looking rlly crazy, the girl who played robertson ay was supposedd to take off his vest but her finger got stuck in the button hole and she couldnt get it out and the audience started wildly laughing
One time during my show of Les Mis in the beginning of the play (where Valjean talks to the farmer) the music tracks just stopped! It was opening night and in the first 5 minutes something went wrong. Luckily our Valjean and farmer improved and so did me and the ensemble behind them. From the audience it probably looked okay, but I could tell that my cast mates were terrified. The music tracks came back on after what felt like an eternity, then everyone ran off stage and we all freaked out.
Also from Les Mis it was the closing night 15 minutes before places and I’m one of the constables so I’m onstage right away, the problem was that I left my jazz shoes at home. I called my dad and he promised to bring them. It felt like forever, and just when I was about to accept going onstage barefoot, he came and gave me my shoes!! I will never leave for theater without checking for them again!
My damage is that in summer camp (during before the virus) we were performing lion king and I was Banzai ( a hyena) and I was supposed to say “RIGHT ED?” but I said “RIGHT BANZAI?!” Oh god , I’m banzai...
Me: show mishaps is back? *clicks with the strength of ten ValJeans*
Can this be true? I don't believe what I see.
