It's remarkable that the crew is able to recover from a disaster like that in less than 24 hours; additional research reveals that the production probably had to swap out some panels of the floor and a good bit of electrical gear. It's also interesting to speculate where all of that water went - some got absorbed by things on stage, and some probably found its way to a drain, but it's an area not meant to be drained, so it seems like there would be long-lasting repercussions. I also didn't find mention of the audience getting wet, which says a lot for their deluge system if true. The funny part is that there was no fire.
