How embarrassing! Thankfully, he wasn't hurt. Unlike the fellow playing Judas in a performance of "Jesus Christ Superstar" on Broadway that I went to a year or so ago. Judas was so caught up in his betrayal of and bitterness towards Jesus that he stepped right off the edge of the stage and plunged into the orchestra pit, hitting his head on a railing on the way down. The show, however, did indeed go on and soon afterward Judas returned to the stage with an egg on his forehead that makeup could not cover. I don't know how he was able to belt out his songs with the crashing headache he must have had.
