I was watching "Tarzan Rocks" with a friend and one of the rollerskaters did a slide across the stage oh his stomach and stopped himself before falling off the stage. I thought it was part of the show until he got up, went back to the spot he slipped at and seemed to be checking for something on the floor. Then we figured it out.....and started laughing. :lol: The thing is, I thought it was a cool stunt and would never have known the difference if had played it off.

Not really a screw up, per se, but during one showing of "The Voyage of the Little Mermaid"Ariel's microphone wire, which is usually hidden underneath the back of her clothing, was visible. Just hanging there, like they had been in a hurry and didn't even bother to fix it.
Eric's wig moved in that same showing. It was funny, one minute the hair is normal, the next it was facing the audience! lol
A showing later, Max, the dog, was running to jump up into Ariel&Eric's arms, and slid, and almost fell into the audience.
I'm guessing these were new cast? lol
Anyone remember Ashlee Simpson's SNL screw up?
Similar thing happened when we were watching "Beauty and the Beast" on stage in 1998. The music started, but for some reason Gaston didn't start "lip-syncing" or singing until about five lines in. I was in the front row, and I know for a fact his lips weren't in tune for the first stanza. lol

brich said:Does Disney On Ice count? I saw a "wardrobe malfunction" from the second row that lasted about 60 seconds longer than the infamous SuperBowl version. Poor girl. She continued with her routine until it wasn't so obvious a time to fix it. I think she was hoping not to bring more attention to it.
I know I speak for all the dad's that were sitting around me when I say, we WILL go to Disney On Ice again....and again...and again... :lookaroun
Do you have video of this......er, I mean, for historical record of course.....
And was this a full-blown Jackson quality malfunction? I find it hard to believe that something would be completely exposed for 60 seconds - the most convenient time to fix that would be immediately - even if it's somewhat obvious, I would think.

Wow. I'd never seen that video before. Congrats to the tech for hurryin out there to fix the problem. Gotta feel sorry for the performer though. Thanks for reposting it.

Have any of you seen or heard of a major character costume "malfunction" like a head falling off? I'm so surprised that it doesn't happen more often! Are there any pictures of such a thing? I've never found ONE anywhere, (except that obviously fake one with the scary-looking girl as Mickey).

That was hilarious. Before I even started watching it, I was already laughing because I knew it would be something funny. I thought that maybe someone would fall off the stage, and before I knew it I saw Mrs. Potts rolling around. I have not seen many things as funny as that. Thanks for re-posting it, that's definitely a keeper.

biggest fantasmic malfunction i have ever seen was when they could not get the dragon to fold back up into the mountain. so as the boat came out the pumped a huge load of smoke to cover it up. and at the end of the show mikey had to walk out instead of pop out of the ground to say "some imagintaion ".
We have also watched fantasmic and have the sound cut out in the middle of the performance. they stopped the show and restarted but then the lights would not turn out so they delayed the show again. but the third time ran pretty smoothly. pretty fun expierience.

Im a CM on Main St. and I witnessed a performance of Wishes where for a whole 2 minutes, none of the fireworks exploded. There was music playing, but no fireworks. This happened in between the Blue Fairy segment and the grand finale. This was in December 2004 at one of the Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Parties.
I`ve posted elsewhere about Fantasmic!s dragon being stuck hakf in half out and not performing. It was just keft there for all to see when the lights came up and Malifecent did the alternate villan ending (very quickly - if the dragon wasn`t visible you wouldn`t have thought any different)
I guess with any show if you know what to look for something will go wrong, from a light not working to a stuck dragon to a firework not launching...thats showbiz! With the ammount of and the scale of the shows at Disney I`m constantly in awe of the performers and techs backstage that things consistantly go so well.

That stories a myth. I've heard every version of it in the world and being "friends" with Genie I find it very unlikely. I heard it happened on set when a guest ran up to give him a hug. The story keeps getting retold and keeps getting more ridiculous. I just don't believe it. It's just like the story of the Mickey who was working at Grad Night and was tossed into the water around the castle and when she removed her head to prevent herself from drowning she was fired and sued for "breaking the magic". But I know someone who knew someone who was friends with someone who was there so it must be true.

I saw this once too! Her voiced cracked a little and she lost her place. I felt bad but have worked enough live theater to give her credit for not losing her composure.
