Today, I performed in a rendition of Jesus Christ Superstar at my school. When it came time for my big solo, a whopping two lines, I forgot the words, making for an awkward eight seconds of silence. FML

Hi, OP here! We had two flawless performances before this one, and several rehearsals before that. So no, I was not unprepared in the least. I think the problem came from the lack of sleep I had before this specific performance, because; with my luck, I happened to catch a cold the night before. Thanks for the positive comments, I feel like posting this has helped me overcome the embarrassment by giving me the opportunity to laugh at my own plight! :)

A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Funny how nobody seems to know that Jesus Christ Superstar is actually a musical. Like Cats or Starlight express.

Stage fright happens, though it's definitely no fun when it does. Sorry, OP.

OP, sucks to be you, but I bet it's not that big of a deal! People forget words all the time and nobody's going to think any less of you for it. It is embarrassing though, so FYL.

Who were you? I can't think of a character who only had a 2 line solo. Did you play Annas?
