I was at a performance of In the Heights in the spring of '08 that got canceled due to technical problems. I ran into Jeff Seller in the lobby and had a conversation with him. He sent me a complimentary cast album CD of the show because of the cancellation. I ended up seeing the show on my next trip.

We made it through about five minutes of "The Slug Bearers of Kayrol Island" during which the projections repeatedly crashed, prompting a full-stage Windows error screen, before they finally called the show and had us all reschedule for a later performance.

My show was a matinee. Lin actually came out and told the audience there would be a late start. He came back a few minutes later and began chatting with the audience and taking questions. A couple people asked him to sing something, but the only song he felt comfortable singing was "Happy Birthday". After about a half hour the show had to be canceled.

The only time I can remember not having a complete performance was I saw a show at New World Stages whose name I cannot remember. There was at most ten minutes left and the fire alarm went off and everyone in the complex had to exit and stand outside. This went on for a while and I'm pretty sure the end of the show never happened, although I may have just given up and gone home because the show was basically over.
