Ok I just wanted to tell you all this and didn't know what section to put it in so I'm putting it here. There was a show of Beauty and the Beast at the Huron County Playhouse and the father (I forget what the father's name is) died on stage. OMG I've never heard of that actually happening although it is every actors wildest fatasy.

It's too bad that it happened I had tickets for one of the cancelled performances, I haven't decided which alternate date I am going to go to. I also heard that there was no understudy for Maurice (because the run was to be so short), but the deceased had played the role in several stageings, and oddly enough his understudy from the Toronto production was in the ensemble, so he is quickly re-aquainting himself with the role in order to step into the role.

Wow. That's pretty extreme. And the cast would have had to keep on going.

I doubt it. It was pretty early in the show so I don't know if they kept going or not.

I was reading in an article that the audience was evacuated and will be given the option of an alternative date.

I knew it happened some times in Puccini's Tosca, that they really shot the poor Cavaradossi... Or when Tosca jumps from Castel Sant'Angelo... However, when I was there, nothing the like happened, thanks God!
