- At one point during the show, Andrew Keenan-Bolger (Crutchie) has a banner that says 'strike' attached to his crutch and says "You see this, Mr. Pulitzer?" One show he forgot to attach the sign  and went onstage without it, so when his line came he said "You see this, Mr. Pulitzer?" and did a crazy little dance

- During 'King of New York', Kara Lindsey (Katherine Plumber) is supposed to catch a broom and toss it back, but she accidentally whacked it and sent it flying into the pit orchestra and hit the conductor in the head. He tossed it back up to her and she spent the rest of the number screaming "I'm so sorry!"

(He also has a piece of the wood from the chair, but I can't find that video)
