Thanks, Wayman. Fun to read. I deduce from their responses that a "button" is the final move of a dance number, a position that is held for a bit during the applause. Never heard that term before. Am I right? Quite something about Jess LeProtto falling into the pit but climbing back on stage and finishing Seize the Day. Pits are kind of tiny and cramped. Didn't he land on a musician or two? Or knock stuff over? I get that "the show must go on" but that must have a bit unnerving for cast, crew and audience wondering if he was ok while the show continued. Were any ATCers at that performance? Third thing I learned is that the show is closing August 24. On August 25 the cuteness factor on Broadway drops considerably. :)
