Who would've ever thought starring in a Disney Broadway musical could be so life threatening?

Unfortunately that was the case for 51-year old actor-singer Adrian Bailey, who severely injured himself during a May 10 matinee performance of 'The Little Mermaid.'

Bailey fell through a trap door on the deck of a suspended boat prior to the start of the performance, which lead the actor to suffer from fractured wrists, a broken back, a shattered pelvis, a fractured sternum, several fractured ribs and a fractured foot.

All of this for Ariel?

Following the accident, a court petition was filed on May 14 with the Manhattan Supreme Court. Now the singing actor is filing a lawsuit against Disney.

Dancers we can all learn from this, I'm sure you have all been in a show and never really thought of the dangers that can occur. Remember to be careful, be aware, and cautious. Prayers going out for a speedy recovery, and a huge settlement!!! Sayit!!!
