So What If You Had A Seizure, We're Busy Dancing. Related Videos
The Simpsons' Catch Me If You Can Introduction. | AC/DC - "If You Want Blood (You Got It)" |  We're Not Candy (This is Serious) |
I had an audience member die on me right before a Paul Anka concert, about 2 years ago. He had a fatal heart-attack in the lobby, right by the main-level entrance. All we did was put up a curtain around him and the show went on.
I had one performer break his wrist- he finished his scene without any of us backstage knowing. The show went on.
Probably the most extraordinary moment I can recall from my theatre career so far is when one of the principal performers had to leave the theatre during intermission. It turned out that her day-job was a sitting supreme-court judge here in BC. She was presiding in a murder trial, and the jury came back during Act 1! No understudy for the part, so luckilly we had the cast from another show rehearsing nearby. We pulled one of the actresses from there, put her in costume- which fit her perfectly- and the show went on, albeit with an extended intermission and an explanation to the audience as to why the character was all of a sudden 20 years younger than she had been only minutes prior.
The show always goes on.
Oh, and btw, other than the seizure in question, this video sux. How on earth does crap music like this ever get produced?
Thanks for putting into perspective for me. Yay showbiz!
I personally once became violently ill during a performance, and barely made it off the main stage before vomiting copiously. The show went on.
j POP is truly amazing its not one bit protentouse like all this rock pop we have over hear personaly id mutch wather watch fit jpanise girl prance about and sing to a dance beat than listen to some emo band act all deep and depressive
And westy, this is Korean, not Japanese.
Sure having someone flop around stage while everyone is ignoring her totally appalls the audience and renders them unable to connect to production of anything else,but hey, the show's gotta go one.
I doubt the girl was thinking "I hope they don't stop the show on my account. I may be in a spot of difficulty at this particular moment in time, but I'm a born performer and well... The Show Must Go On!!"
I think it was probably closer to "OMFGWTFHELPHELPHELPHELPAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRGGHGHGGHH!!!"
The are a hell of a lot more people at football games, and they even pause to evaluate injured players. So, I don't buy the whole, people want to be entertained, the show must go on, total crap. Besides, technically, if the show must go on, you want to remove the twitching semi-conscious people from the stage, they are distracting from the performance.
Point 2: snake, I don't think someone in the throes of an epileptic seizure have anything going through their minds at the time, other than random bursts of bio-generated electricity.
Point 3: charlatantric: don't worry about westy, he doesn't speak english, despite apparently living in Great Britain somewhere, so how can we expect him to tell the difference between (closely related) ethnicities.
Point 4: This thread has the potential to be fun, I hope it doesn't get too ugly.
A: "Teen singing group carries on with act while member has seizure on floor despite screams from audience"
B: "Teen singing group interrupts act while member receives medical attention, continues after assuring the audience that she's OK."
Actually upon further review.. it appears ONE dancer girl does try and drag her off stage right before people start running across stage.
There is no place on the stage for the weak.

PS people, it's LIVE THEATRE, shit happens, and it happens all the time. I bet some of those girls were so into the "moves" they did not even realize what happened, notice, the performers have been directed to stare off into the audience.
just my 2c
pho3n1x has a point. However, Koreans arn't so much aware of what epilepsy is, nor the symptoms of it. Those girls probably thought the girl tripped or something and couldn't get up at first.
You ask any random Korean teenager these days (that are 100% Korean) and I'll guarantee you that the only seizures they're familiar with are some hardcore protestants being 'possessed' by the spirit of Jesus on TV.
