* The opening performance of ''Theatre/{{Ruddigore}}'' was derided by critics for its failure to convincingly portray the ghosts of the past Bad Baronets stepping out of their picture frames. In reaction to this criticism, the show's final scene was rewritten to remove one additional incidence of this stage effect.

* The ScreenToStageAdaptation of Disney's ''Disney/BeautyAndTheBeast'' has been one of the most frequently-produced shows by amateur theatre companies, high schools, etc. since the TurnOfTheMillennium. Many of these productions have utterly failed to produce convincing Beast costumes/makeups for their leading actors, and photos of these failures are showcased on the Tumblr page [[http://lowbudgetbeasts.tumblr.com Low Budget Beasts]].

* [[InvokedTrope Invoked]] in ''Theatre/NoisesOff''. Being a [[ShowWithinAShow play within a play]], several scenes include parts where the props or stage malfunctions. (Which were based off of real events!) Among these include doors that won't open or stay closed, doorknobs breaking, props getting misplaced or breaking...

* In ''[[AVeryPotterMusical A Very Potter Sequel]]'', Joey Richter (as Ron) fails to take down a Taylor Lautner poster from Umbridge's office (ItMakesSenseInContext) while switching scenes. He tries to play it off by saying it was held on by magic, and in the next scene "They're all over the school!" Twist? It was done on purpose as they needed a reason to have a Taylor Lautner poster in both Umbridge's office and the room they end up in. They couldn't think of an InUniverse reason so they decided to make it seem like a quickly-improvised mishap.

* Stuff like this has been known to happen during a play. Even professionally trained actors can probably tell you of a story where something either went wrong during the rehearsals, performances, or even Opening Night! Generally it's best to just improvise.
