I am totally amazed at the dancers focus on what they are doing even with the chaos going on around them on stage.

That's the part that surprises me, and deep down wonders a bit about whether there was some unofficial internal help for the incident to happen. Then again, the boom camera delivered a convincing hit.

Having been involved with dancers professionally for a very long time, they never notice anything - focus is critical and I had a cloth fly out by mistake, revealing the crew setting up for the next scene, with the audience laughing, and when the cloth flew back in and the dance ended, they had no idea what happened.
