Tovey’s Heart Stopping Torso
Very often, plays will warn patrons that strobe lights or other special effects will be employed. Well, the Broadway production of A View from the Bridge might want to issue a warning that the sight of actor Russell Tovey‘s torso can cause euphoria, lightheadedness, or fainting. That was the case last week, when a male patron quite literally swooned when he found himself a few feet from the talented thespian. To make matters worse, he was one of the few patrons seated in on-stage risers! Someone yelled out, “Is there a doctor in the house?” – just like in the movies (well, not very good movies). Three people tended to the man until EMTs arrived, and whisked him out of the theatre. The man, Davin Cutchall, had driven six hours to see Tovey’s torso…or, perhaps he just wanted to see the play. Regardless, Davin Tweeted: “@russelltovey Sorry for disrupting the show tonight. I’m feeling better, now. You were great!”. Apparently he was healthy enough to attend the Sunday matinee performance – but he wisely sat in a less obtrusive seat!
