NEW YORK —
Idina Menzel, the Tony-winning star of “Wicked,” fell through a trap door during the Saturday matinee of the Broadway musical and cracked a lower rib.
The show, a prequel to “The Wizard of Oz,” was halted for about 45 minutes while Menzel’s understudy, Shoshana Bean, prepared to go on as the green-skinned Elphaba, according to Bob Fennell, a spokesman for the musical.
Bean also played the Saturday evening performance and was scheduled for the Sunday matinee.
