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...

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

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

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.

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”.

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.

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.

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

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!)

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

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

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 🤭😂

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 😂

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

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.

I was in the musical kilroy was here (playing Hermione) and it was my first big roll! And my second play, and my first professional musical! Anyway, I have a scene where I need to interrogate my friend while he's being a dork. I broke character almost every night, but no one noticed cause it looked like I was shaking my head in anger. THIS DUDE skips almost the whole scene! Someone got him to back up a little bit but we almost skipped the most important part of the play!

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

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 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.

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 :))

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 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 !

Brace yourself. Long stories ahead. When I was in third grade I did a show call Once Upon a Crime: The Trial of Goldilocks. I got the part of Goldilocks (who was the lead btw 👏👏) and the play was produced by the theatre company I went to. The owner of the company’s assistant was the director and the owner of the company’s husband was the stage manager and he put the set together. Anyways when they were making the set they put a fake license in a glass case on a set piece that you could roll on and off the stage. Theatre rule for those who don’t know, never put glass on stage. Or liquids but that, my friend, is a different story. Anyways, during opening night, they were rolling off the set piece from the stage as planned when the glass case holding the license fell of the set piece and shattered into a million pieces on the stage. Two seconds after they were supposed to take the piece off, I was supposed to have a monologue in the exact spot there was a bunch of broken shards of glass. The stage manager told me to do it somewhere else on the stage. That same show, when I came off the stage to see my class and my teachers and my mom, my zipper broke and my dress fell open and my third grade selfs back was open for everyone to see. At least it was in the house and not onstage though. That same production but in rehearsals, I was supposed to sleep in baby bears bed under the covers so I was hidden. Anyway, the director was giving critiques or whatever but forgot I was still under the covers so eventually with all the stage lights and being under the hot covers, I passed out. That was a fun production. When I was in kindergarten I had a role where I had to be blind. Anyway I was to pretend to be blind going onstage but I went a little far and fell off the stage. The worst part was that everyone thought it was staged because I was supposed to be blind. Btw heathers is my third favorite show ever!

So I kinda cried at my “Crazy for You” musical audition. But I got still got a main part in it.

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

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!

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🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

Not my fail but it’s my favorite fail I’ve ever been a part of. My high school did in the Heights and our Abuela was so in character that when someone knocked on her door during a scene she answered it not thinking. The Problem lies in the fact that SHE WAS ALREADY DEAD. It was during tech week. My director during Notes just turned to her and said... why?

My damage is once when I was pretty young in like 6th grade I was in some musicals, I don’t really remember what it was, it might have been newsies, but anyways, my character was sitting and had to stand up but I stood up to fast and ended up passing out right on stage. I woke up to the school nurse that we had to have backstage due to the musical being lots of moving and lots of different aged people, and then I didn’t preform for almost 2 years. 😙✌️

I was the Wardrobe in Beauty and the Beast in 8th grade, and my costume was literally a cardboard box. During one show, I fell back off the onstage platform but my costume cushioned my fall.

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. 🤦🏾‍♀️

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

Nobody: Katherine: B L O O D 😂😂😂

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!

I was in my first school play ever, right at the time that dreaded state testing and worrying about grades came into place. I had to remember my lines while studying for end of the year tests, but I tried my best. One of my roles was a mom to one of the main characters that the producer decided to change to a girl. So, on opening night, I say what the original line is... “No, not my son!” And my friend who plays my daughter just looks at me with this face of horror and I just stand there and nobody else is reading their lines. I thought that we would just go on and nobody would notice my mistake, but nooooo! Then everyone started laughing and it was pretty terrible!

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 😂

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.

A few days ago, I forgot an entire verse of a song and just did the dance part. my stage partner tried to help me improv my way out but it was painfully obvious. In Chicago, "Roxie", where the men answer Roxie with "That's right", "Oh yeah", I was one of the few who actually remembered the line, so I would say it loudly. closing night, I yelled "OH YEAH", extremely loudly, as the rest of the cast said, "that's right". I switched them. We had a full house. Once I forgot like four lines in my solo in You're A Good Man, Charlie Brown, and just sang the beginning of the verse twice. Kms

I was Ariel in The Little Mermaid and the zipper for my wedding dress broke and so I was singing the finale with my dress fully open in the back, and Eric has his hand around my back trying to hold it together 🙃

I was in a production of Annie Jr. And I was molly. My line was MAMA MAMA MOMMY! but i said MAMA MOOMOO MOMMY!

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.

during a fighting scene in Aladdin, the sword was nowhere to be found so the actor uses a baguette instead. needless to say the director was not amused 😂

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 know this wasn't my fault but still..... I was in the Little Mermaid (yes I realise how ironic it is that my profile pic is Linny). One night, our lights had malfunctions. We had to only use the spotlight as the entirety of lights. Most of the musical has blue or red lighting. The spotlight person had to use blue or red paper over the spotlight. Yah... That was a good day...

i was in a production of LSOH and i was helping set up audrey 2 during a blackout, but the lights came up too soon so i sat behind the plant with the puppeteer for most of act 2

I was Cheryl in Evil Dead & let's just say, it's not just you. I feel your pain sister. Quite literally!

Three stories: in a production of Twelfth Night (I was one of the Maria’s, yes we did have multiple) one of my toenails started falling off. I was also wearing a shoe that curved inward at my pinkie toe, which had its nail falling off, and we still had multiple days left in the run. So that was fun Also in a different show (can’t remember which one) some random and I mean completely random dude walked onstage, realized what happened and walked off. I’ll explain a little. Our backstage and dressing rooms where tiny, so we liked to hang out outside that area, which happened to be leading off into a parking lot. Some guy wanted to pick up his daughter, so he walked into the wings, and it was so dark we didn’t notice him going backstage until it was too late, and our poor stage manager was trying to quietly get him to go away once she realized, but it was too late. He walked out past the wings, realized, turned around and went back out. That was quite the day another story: In a production of Macbeth (not a theater it doesn’t count), my brother (who was playing banquo) got hit in the face with a metal sword during his death fight scene. Our fight choreographer changed it a lot before shows, which was a problem. So anyways, he gets hit in the eyebrow, starts bleeding, finishes the fight, goes off stage, goes to urgent care, (I think we just didn’t have a ghost in the banquet scene) and comes back for the second show of the day. I’m pretty sure someone said Macbeth and cursed him, but whatever, he’s fine.
