I once saw a show where a piece of scenery fell on the lead actor's head. Worst part was that, for those of us sitting far back, we couldn't see if he was moving. And they didn't tell us if he was even alive, just cancelled the show. Fortunately, it did make the news, he was okay, and the show resumed two days later.

At the performance of A Free Man of Color I attended, Triny Sandoval at one point tripped and fell into the front row of the Beaumont. He was assisted up and off-stage by Jeffrey Wright and Justina Machado, but the show barely stopped, and Triny ended up finishing the performance. (Not sure if he missed any subsequent performances--the performance where he fell was the first of a two-show day) I guess it all depends on how severe the injury is--and with CSC not engaging understudies at this point in the run (I'm assuming), it's almost impossible not to cancel.
