my hat goes off to the actors in the show ! thank god for Chris' recovery but accidents happen people, they are not intentional.....stunt doubles get hurt on a daily bases and the producers are doing their job to make it better and right.....just becuase an accident happened doesnt make the show bad....THE SHOW WAS AMAZING !!!!
You didn’t miss much. It had some cool acrobatics, effects, and costumes, but most of the songs were forgettable (sounded like mediocre U2 outtakes) and the story was uninteresting.
I saw a performance in Oct 2011 during a NY visit. Pretty entertaining, but not awe-inspiring. The singers were so-so. Music-theatre singers and their forced vibrato often struggle with rock voices - the songs were originally written by and for Bono's voice. The band was great but a little too loud. Though the acrobatics, lighting and FX scenary were mostly spectacular, the story felt needlessly stretched and a little boring. In the performance I attended, were no issues or accidents. I paid around $100 for a ticket. I was not entirely excited after watching it, but now more than 10 years after I can say: Hey, I did watch Broadway's biggest and most expensive show and failure.
to make things even worse, the next accident would have the actor's leg amputated. turns out "action theater" 7:16 isn't the safer of stage genres after all
This could work really well in a circus stage done by primarily aerial and stunt artists instead of teaching actors with a bit of acro experience all these crazy skills and hoping for the best
Yes, he was supposed to jump down to 'rescue' MJ as part of the scene, but what went wrong is that his safety harness snapped, and he free-fell 30 feet and landed on the ground.
God bless everyone apart these risky shows! Bad things can occur but always trust that God will keep everyone no matter what! God is a good and gracious God Who saves His people and always does the right thing! God bless & May everyone stay for the Lord Jesus Christ coming! Remember God gave His Som for us to be our Savior and the only way to be Saved by Jesus Christ is to believe in Him! (John 3:16) Glory always be to God!
