Audiience medical incident at Wicked tour in Pittsburgh last night / strobe light question

Posted by: Ann 08:35 am EST 01/17/14

In the first act, the "doctor in the house" plea was called and a woman was carried out of the theater from her first row seat. The show stopped for 10 minutes or so during the incident (though a local columnist thinks they were slow to stop the show). I don't know of her fate, but she appeared to have some kind of seizure and was taken away in an ambulance.

I know the show uses strobe lights and I was wondering if those lights are used in the scene with the caged lion cub, as it was shortly after that that the incident occurred; she was standing getting ready to sing I'm Not That Girl when the show stopped.

Other reports say she was "overcome by fog" - I didn't think the fog was that bad in that scene (but very heavy later), but she was in the front row. There are conflicting reports about whether or not she took the ambulance.

Not an answer to your question, but there were strobe lights signifying the lighting storm at Lear the other night, and it triggered a heck of a migraine in me (granted, I've been in the middle of a spate of them recently, so the ground was already set).
