That, ladies and gentleman, is what professionalism looks like. She didn't even flinch when her shoe came off nor did she show the audience that she was freaking out inside.
I met Laura Bell tonight and had dinner with her!! I asked her about this and she said her initial thoughts were 'Oh shit! Well, I better do something, I can't do the jump with only one shoe on! Soo I just threw the other one off!'
that is a sign of a great actress. You must not react to anything. If I hadn't watched the actual play I would have assumed the shoe was supposed to come off with how well she handled that
@kateisadinosaur So much better. If you look up bailey hanks broadway.com if u look at it she does a REALLY good version of it near the end of that video!
That happened to me once-my shoe flew off during the middle of a dance number. I regret to say I did not handle it as classily as Laura Bell Bundy. Granted, I was only a sophomore in high school, but the girl playing Hucklebee and I just started laughing. it didn't help that backstage was hysterical. We did complete the dance, but we couldn't look at each other the rest of the time....points to Ms Bundy for quick thinking and awesomeness
@soaringproductions30 "While on stage it's harder than it looks to stay in character"
I don't know what soaring productions 30 is, but if this is what you teach or how you try to explain acting you should stop talking and/or refund any money people might be giving your production co. You wouldn't happen to be the person that that shoe struck in the head are you?
AMAZING! One of my directors always says that the audience is dumb because they dont know anything that will happen. So if something like that were to happen they wouldn't notice. Something like that happened to me. I was in 13 the musical and I was in "It cant be true" Well back stage I could not find a cell phone for the scene so I just acted as if I was telling the audience. #1 key to being a good actor/actress
@shportin1 It wasn't the fact that she took her shoe off, it was the fact that she stayed so cool about it in that stressful moment. While on stage it's harder than it looks to stay in character, ESPECIALLY if something like THAT happened. They were just appreciating how well she did under pressure.
@soaringproductions30 i COMPLETELY agree! its like you're so used to doing the role and then something unexpected happens and u don't know what to do. she DEFINITELY handled that situation amazingly! :)
i cant even describe in words how much i love that woman, this show, or this song. that is the sound of jesus bieng born. Why this show ever closed is beyond me, i was a total doutber at fist "Legally Blonde the Musical" haha thats funny. then i watched it, my life was changed forever. I love you LBTM.
Heh, that reminds me when I was in this musical, the guy who did the choreography was telling us what to do if something goes wrong, the shoe must go on. Then he told us that when he was in grade school doing a tap number with his sister, his shoe flew off right into the audience, but he kept going like nothing happened, and more people afterwards had no idea he didn't have a tap show on. If it were me, I would've freaked out!!
That is truly a professional at work there. That shows a lot because she realizes stuff happens and the way to make it better is to improvise. So the shoe flying off became part of the performance with little or no expression that it had really been something that was not supposed to happen.
How come they don't do the pussy/vag/clit triangle anymore? They used to do it right before they turn around and show Elle's name. Did they finally realize how gross it looked??
wow, thats really funny! its smart how she thought to throw off the other shoe...thats talent. and i cant believe she could stay in character that way. impressive
Wow, this shows she is a real professional. You can see the surprise on her face but only for a tiny moment, then she takes of her other shoe as if it were part of the play. She is a wonderful actress with a fantastic voice.
My shoe flew off in the audience during high school musical, I was sharpay. Same thing. Same performance? I fell on stage and slammed my head. At that point, we all started laughing. cast and audience. It was hilarious. Laughed for about 3 minutes, then my best friend who played my ryan said, "Where were we?" and continued. I love when things happen on stage. Totally keep you on your toes.
@KandOifyable no it did at 0:21 when she say "i have not begun to fight.." and she lifts up her leg is when it flys off. i missed it the first time too but just look closely you can see it in the shadow.
I don't think she just thought of taking off the other shoe, this is kind of emergency staging for that stuff, they must have other tips like that for stuff like, she can't put her new dress on on time in the store at the beginning or at Paulette's, if a dog isn't acting as expected, ...
@pSAurOnq I doubt they would have got that specific. I think it would have been quick thinking and professionalism on Laura's behalf. But, true, they certainly stage alternatives for when things go wrong.
@laurah1969 yea there were so many other things that could go wrong. we just dont notice them untilll they happen. they wouldnt be like "oh incase your shoe comes off, take the other one off too.
Haha she's awesome, I actually remember this XD I wasn't near the shoe but I was lucky enough to see it fly out! She's amazing on how she just took the other shoe off, I wouldn't have thought of that XDDD now if this happens to me ever I'll have to remember to take the other off XD.
AHHH I LOVE HER!! there are so many chances to meet her and im always to scared. lol like her contests. i just realllly want to meet her at the stage door of something.
@Missmaiden1 I know, shes amazing. She was probably in the mindset of Elle, and she didn't recognize that she was Laura Bell Bundy, she said that she really gets into the moments during this song.
before i had seen this clip or eve listened to the show's music and LBB was my hero [ <3] i though the shoe coming off was really supposed to happen!!!! :D
omg she is such a quick thinker. if she didn't take her other shoe off, she probably would have seriously injured her ankle when she jumps at the end...
If I didn't already know that it was a mistake that her shoe flew off, I would've thought that it was on purpose to make that jump less dangerous. xD Great save there.
Even in a pink dress and jeans jacket, Ms. Bundy commands the stage like magic. What an incredible talent. This jump that she does at the end just blows my mind every time I watch it.
She sounds SO good in this video. That's how she sounded the two times I saw the show (once in SF and once in NY) and it just makes "So Much Better" one of the most thrilling first act finales. It's just so joyful. The jump adds so much too.
Okay, I'm gonna comment on what's really amazing...LAURA SINGING THIS SONG. God, you're fricken incredible! Do you think she knows how incredible she is? Does she even comprehend it? Does she wake up and think, "God, I'm AMAZING!"?
the huge jump is actually choreographed, it symbolizes the spirit of elle woods being in the air ...thats why the house lights all close on her, so the audiences last vision of the first act closer is Elles spirit literally flying in the air
IM SOOOOOOOOOOO dissapointed that i wont be able to see LBB as elle :( i love this show but i fell in love with the original cast and not all these second hand store picks :( oh well atleast i have the video
Stuff like this happens in all plays, we had a guy forget to go come on stage one time and the main character did an improvisation for like 3 minutes about how he wanted to be a comedian... it was hilarious!
Yeah, in Wicked on Broadway, there's a scene where Glinda and Elphaba are in their dorm, and their beds are supposed to slide out, but only Elphaba's slid out. So Kristin Chenoweth (who was playing Glinda at the time) did an improv song about how she wanted her bed. And once, (same show, same cast) something really noisy was happening with one of the lights, so Kristin went out and started tap dancing for the audience...
She acted so natural! If I didn't see the scene some minutes after, I would guess that she meant to throw the shoes to the both sides of stage...

She sounds SO good in this video. That's how she sounded the two times I saw the show (once in SF and once in NY) and it just makes "So Much Better" one of the most thrilling first act finales. It's just so joyful. The jump adds so much too.

Okay, I'm gonna comment on what's really amazing...LAURA SINGING THIS SONG. God, you're fricken incredible! Do you think she knows how incredible she is? Does she even comprehend it? Does she wake up and think, "God, I'm AMAZING!"?

Oh yea i love how she compensates with losing her shoe with a huge jump at the end.

the huge jump is actually choreographed, it symbolizes the spirit of elle woods being in the air ...thats why the house lights all close on her, so the audiences last vision of the first act closer is Elles spirit literally flying in the air

Stuff like this happens in all plays, we had a guy forget to go come on stage one time and the main character did an improvisation for like 3 minutes about how he wanted to be a comedian... it was hilarious!

Yeah, in Wicked on Broadway, there's a scene where Glinda and Elphaba are in their dorm, and their beds are supposed to slide out, but only Elphaba's slid out. So Kristin Chenoweth (who was playing Glinda at the time) did an improv song about how she wanted her bed. And once, (same show, same cast) something really noisy was happening with one of the lights, so Kristin went out and started tap dancing for the audience...
