The Colors of My Life question


...when Michael tried to make fire come out of his hat but it didn't work and he/the audience started laughing, then there was a burst of flames and he ran off stage.... lol was that a flub? It really looked like one.
Flub or not, it still had me in stitches. =)

My friend tells me he saw Crawford do Barnum live (not the one that was filmed, mind you), and he tells me that there was another verse to have sung through before he ran off stage XD

Kung fu movies are like porn. There's 1 on 1, then 2 on 1, then a group scene...

I was lucky enough to play Barnum a few years ago, and there is no extra line, but the flub is certainly not in the script. Having said that, I flubbed at the same point: it´s a tricky one, that top-hat flame...
