** Originally Christine only kissed the Phantom once and then just hugged him, but during one performance Crawford's makeup got stuck to Brightman's lips and came away with her. She had to lean in again for ''another'' kiss so he could quickly reattach it. The second kiss was added to the blocking and has stayed there ever since.
** When the Phantom takes off his cloak and fedora during the title song, he smooths his hair down. During the first rehearsals, Crawford's wig was less slick than it became later on in production, it got mussed up, and he smoothed it down while staying in character. Gillian Lynne, the original choreographer, thought it was very sensual and encouraged Crawford to do it again.

This was not part of the original script and was improvised by a Phantom during a production in San Francisco. When word spread about how well this gesture was received by the audience, it quickly became part of the standard Phantom performance.

* ''Theatre/AVeryPotterMusical'': Harry's line about what he'd do with an invisibility cloak ("I'd kick wiener dogs") was an ad-lib when Darren Criss forgot his line. Also, Lauren/Malfoy's line "And-you-have-to-be-my-slave-for-a-whole-day-starting-now!!" was an ad-lib, judging by Joe Moses and Joe Walker's reactions to the line, given that Moses usually kept relatively straight-faced (well, sort of), and he was laughing in the background.

* According to a tie-in book for ''Theatre/{{Hadestown}}'', Hades' line "Oh, it's about me?" in "Epic III" was an ad-lib that got such a big laugh from the audience it was kept in; the original intent was for Hades to laugh in Orpheus's face but with the change the audience laughed for him.
