My dad grew up in 1930s Brooklyn and went to live radio shows in Manhattan theaters, complete with pit orchestras. He once saw a show with acrobats on stage accompanied by music.

On one unfortunate occasion, an acrobat fell into the pit and landed on top of the bari sax, which was on its stand at the time. The player was okay, but the sax became a pile of parts. No word on the acrobat.
