Funny/Unexpected things that happens during a performance.

I remember I had a minor role in a play about a fairy tale. Little Red Riding Hood and it was quite funny because one of the person did their line and as they were about to walk out of the stage, they walked in the wrong direction, realized it, and then went the other way, and fell in front of the audience. The person was okay but quite humiliated though it was funny. =P

My sophomore year, we did Seussical for the musical. I was Max the dog, and my boyfriend (we weren't dating then) was the Grinch. On our first night open to the public as soon as we got done singing the song during the Who's Christmas pageant, he reached down to pat my head. I didn't get my horn on right, so when he touched it, it slipped off my head and onto my face.

I didn't know what else to do but act like it was supposed to happen, and then fix it when the attention was shifted to the other side of the stage. My face left like it was burning, but it was pretty funny.

My favourite bits of shows is when you have to make things up. I'm in a show right now, and we have to make things up all over the show, it's awsome. It's funny when you accidently fall of the stage, HA!

Once I was so excited that my nose bled before the gig.

I remember another one that I was actually left without my drumsticks. As that was going to be a shorter gig, I did not take some extra pairs of drumsticks and then I broke the sticks I got into two. Luckily, my bandmates could cover that up for me - we played an acoustic song and I helped them with the background vocals. :)

I fell off the stage for a school musical and the audience actually thought it was part of the play.

I almost hit an actress in the head with flying scenery during a wet run. it was pretty funny because the staples pulled out of the muslin the board dropped her head later.

When I was like 5 or 6, at the end of year school concert, I was the Octopus in 'In an octopus' garden'. At the end I went up to the mic and said 'Goodbye everybody'.

Once, at a charlie brown musical, this cute girl wasn't wearing a bra, and whenever she did her dance her breasts bounced like mad. It was enjoyable, but she was quite embarrassed after the play. I think it was my favorite interpretation of Peppermint Patty(?) ever.

Also, I've always thought it would be funny to see someone get up on stage and go to say something, and then think "Just picture them all naked and you won't be nervous anymore!" and then get an erection.

I don't thinks this deserves its own thread so here:

What are some of your worst cellphone experiences while a show is going on?

with me I was doing "Godspell" and a cellphone had gone off during a random moment during the first act. not so bad but it still set off the mood. (especially when the announcement says to turn it off). but THEN in the 2nd act right during this intense moment after Christs Death just during the silence as we are mourning Christ before we start singing again, This Cellphone goes off!!!!!!

Loudly!

and to make it worse the guy actually answers it,(front row too) gets up and walks out the door.
and we later got confirmation from someone that knew him that he wasn't a doctor, didn't have a baby on the way, or wasn't waiting on some organ donor. he just talked. man that set off the mood so badly.

Whats happened with you?

In Rehearsals I have to push a guy, I already accidently injured a guy while running after him in Afl in grade seven, they all think i'm way to strong for a girl not {Not really}. But the main guy tripped while being pushes, landed backwards, fell down the stairs and the whole time I had to act like it was suppose to happen while he just sat there grinning. Never forgiving him xD

My ringtone was Japanese Pop ages ago. Really jumpy and everything. The most dramatic moment of the Godfather...

Well my friend got the lead role in this play called "Once on this Island" and there's this crazy dance scene in which she does an affrican tribal dance. As she's dancing, she approaches the climax, she falls. She gets up and then dances within the audience and while she's going up the stairs she falls again...

Another one is when we did "The Music Man" this year. It was durng the first show, and a picture was supposed to be taken after the number: "Wells Fargo Wagon". So they're ready for the picture but the flash never came. We were waiting, and then someone telled: "JUST TAKE THE STUPID PICTURE ALREADY!!" It was quite funny.

My friend once went through an entire act with bright white skate shoes on. He didn't notice until after the fact, luckily cappies weren't there.
