Theatrical failure

This one time I was performing for a massive audience. At least 2000. Queensland performing arts complex. Befor the lights went up on the stage I would have to come to the very front of the stage and pick up a microphone. So during this black out as I knelt down I lost my balance in the drak. I feel in to the front row of the audience and I had to sramble back up to the stage in the dark. And be ready for the track to come one. I was singing a song from A chours line called ‘let me dance for you’. The track started and the 1st note I sang was out of key and to be honest i'm pretty tone deaf to being with. After the song It would go into a intrumental version of the song and I would do a tap dance. All ready feeling like I wanted this number to be over I started do the tap routine. And about 2/3rds of the way though I felt the ball of my tap show come lose. Its held on to the show by 3 screws and I had lost two of them. So the metal tap was swing around. I missed a few beats and than towards the end I competly came off and I was left with no ball tap and having to bang my foot quiet hard. I stuck my finshing poes and barley pulled of the double turn. I bowed and left the stage. Than the cassetate they were playing the music form coutnited to play and an older track came on over the sounds sytem which is very tacky. All in all it was a teribale performance.
