| One that I found memorable was in the original Broadway run of Les Miz. During the wedding scene at the end when the Thenardiers are caught trying to steal the silverware, the platter that fell out of Mme. Thenardier's dress decided to roll all the way downstage and right into the orchestra pit. Nick Wyman was playing Thenardier at the time and had a fun little exchange with the conductor trying to get it back. Normally that type of thing would bother me since I'd prefer that it just be ignored and on with the show, but since the conductor is already acknowledged in that scene by the Major Domo as playing the diegetic music for the wedding reception it actually worked quite well. |
