Break a Leg
Actress Sutton Foster was rehearsing her new play, The Drowsy Chaperone, in Los Angeles, Calif., with leading man Troy Britton Johnson. The scene: “We’re the bride and groom,” she explained, “and we’re not supposed to see each other on the day of the wedding, so he’s blindfolded and on roller skates.” That’s when the accident occurred. No, Johnson didn’t fall, Foster did, breaking her arm. The song she was singing at the time? “I’m an Accident Waiting to Happen”. (Los Angeles Times) ...Lucky she wasn’t doing “The Point of No Return” in Phantom of the Opera.
