Goofs or funny unscripted things that happened in your show

Well, I think the title speaks for itself. Anyways, I play MOONFACE MARTIN! It is my favorite role of all time (previously held by The Jester in Once Upon A Matress). Anyways, I'm sort of notorious for improv. On Sunday during the scene in the bedroom where Moonface takes the glasses from Whitney, at the very beginning of the scene a steward walks in carrying a tray, well the steward knocked down this flat we have on our set. So after he walked out there is always a little dead space when Billy comes in and my director told me to improv where that is, so I simply said, "I wish the service was a lot better around here. Cramped quarters, knocking down walls, it's un believable." This got a giant laugh, and in fact held up our Billy from coming on because he was laughing so hard.

The best part of waking up is Satan in your cup.

Oh my gosh, the Moon in our show was HILARIOUS! It wasn't really unscripted, but his Be Like the Bluebird was soo funny!! I was Billy, and during that song I had to be all depressed and everything, and it was so hard to do while he was up there skipping around and yanking me all over the place. Besides that, during Evelyn's Gypsy in Me, he and Reno did the funniest dance, it was like a tango, but slow and everything, the audience were just busting a gut, I wish I could've seen more of it. At the end, the I Get a Kick Reprise, all of the romantic couples had to improv a little "dance," and while I was dipping Hope, Reno was dipping Evelyn... they were so funny!

WOW, the falling flat's hilarious! In our second night, where Moony and Billy throw the dog in the pool, you hear the dog bark, the splash, and Moony and Billy come out. However, on this night, as soon as the dog came out, the sound effect for the tommy gun rang out, too! Everybody on stage and back stage was silent, the croud was laughing, and the director was probably shocked. Once the laughter died down, Moony went, "That darn shooting competition!" Luckily, it WAS the scene with the shooting, so... :).

our Evlyen was so Uncontrolable durring the Lets Misbehave number. Reno had a fethered boa and so he would take it and do a different, yet always hilarious thing every night. One night he actually had to sing Reno's part of the duet because she was onstage laughing to hard at what he was doing to continue singing.
