Good thing THAT's not the chandelier in Phantom of the Opera!

The Crashing Chandelier in Phantom of the Opera

It’s likely the most famous special effect on Broadway right now and
perhaps the most well-known of all time. Even though the chandelier has
been dropping for 25 years - Andrew Lloyd Webber’s lush musical thriller
opened in New York in 1988 and is the longest-running show in Broadway
history - audiences are still astonished when the massive lighting fixture
comes sailing over their heads and crashes to the stage at the end of the
first act…

“For its time, it was a pretty spectacular effect,” Bell says…

Or what if Pink Floyd's Pig had drifted into the concert and tried to sit on it!?

That reminded me of this, one of the best-loved sequences from a very famous British sitcom: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LFuYIi5-igc

"I thought it had a weapon, the thing made these strange wailing noises... My kids thought it was great."

I just hope they remembered to turn out the lights when it was over so they didn't waste any electricity.

It IS a living thing...what a terrible thing to lose.

That was my first concert experience, in 1977,iirc
