THE LITTLE MERMAID - BAILEY RECOVERING AFTER STAGE FALL

BAILEY RECOVERING AFTER STAGE FALL

Broadway star ADRIAN BAILEY is recovering in hospital after falling through a trap door before a performance of THE LITTLE MERMAID.
The actor was rushed to Bellevue Hospital with two broken wrists just moments before the Saturday (10May08) matinee of the stage show at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre in New York.
The 51-year-old, who has several roles in the theatre version of the 1989 Disney movie, was forced to undergo surgery on his wrists and stayed in the hospital overnight.
Rehearsing for the show's first scene in which a boat is lowered to the stage, Bailey reportedly fell about 20 feet, according to the show's spokesman Chris Boneau.
