ryhog, In Mary Martin's autobiograph, she writes about the rehearsals for the 1960 "Peter Pan," the only one that was not broadcast live. While flying, she slammed into a wall and broke her arm. I assume she had an understudy on Broadway and perhaps in the live versions of "Peter Pan." But, live television adds a whole new level of concern and tension when the star is flying through the air in front of millions of people. The amount of tension could make flying accidents even more likely. She also writes about other problems of performing in other live TV specials, like "Annie Get Your Gun," specifically getting from one soundstage to another far away in the minute or two the commercial is running. To be blunt, the performance in a theater (where you can stop the show and explain to the audience, if necessary) and live TV are two very different things.
