Broadway's "Machinal" Gets a Helping Hand From the Audience

Metropolis - WSJ: The show must go on, even when the set breaks down.
At the opening of the play “Machinal” at Broadway’s American Airlines Theater on Thursday night, the giant rotating set stopped working a few minutes into the show, halting the production for about an hour. A team of volunteers, including stage hands and crew members who were attending the opening night performance as guests, saved the day by manually pushing the 30,000 pound set during scene changes.
