@@DyslecticAttack Yes, that sort of thing happens. I remember reading that when Harry Secombe was rehearsing for a stage musical, he came down with laryngitis, so when he recovered, the producer recorded his singing so that if it happened again during the run of the show, he could mime his singing parts. Partway into the run, he came down with laryngitis again so at the start of the play they announced to the audience that he would be reciting his spoken lines but miming to a recording for the songs. Which was what he did, at first. By one of the later songs, Harry's sense of humour had got the better of him and he started hamming up by having a drink of water and stuffing a handkerchief into his mouth whilst still pretending to sing. The audience laughed so much that he did it every night until the end of the run! For years afterwards, people came up to him and said "I was at _____ Theatre the night you had laryngitis".....

The actor playing Chris Bean yelled the question back at me, tore the stopper out with his teeth and screamed at me with it still held, then spat it on the ground.

I got to see this live out in LA after watching the pro-shoot enough to almost have it memorized. I laughed so hard during this scene because it went so wrong and it was clear that it wasn't "Scripted Wrong". Captain Hook got so sick of the audience's persistence that he eventually gave the bottle to a young girl near the front and had her open it. Then, later, when Pan asks Tinkerbell who would try to poison him, she just slowly pointed to the girl (she could only have been around 10 years old). It was one of the best parts of the show. There was also a line thrown in from Hook (may have been scripted) when he said something along the lines of "You wanted your independence, this is what it looks like!" Some of the hardest I have ever laughed at PPGW.
