FOX’S live production of the Tony-award winning musical “Rent” aired Sunday night, but it wasn’t quite live.

Unfortunately, after Brennin Hunt, who played Roger Davis, broke his ankle the night before during the cast’s dress rehearsal, Fox had to resort to airing the pre-taped performance, which was explained by members of the cast during their first commercial break.

“Last night during our performance, in front of a live audience, one of our cast members sustained an injury,” said Vanessa Hudgens, who played Maureen Johnson. Hudgens continued saying, “A visit to the hospital confirmed that Brennin Hunt, our Roger, has broken his foot and will be unable to perform tonight.” (SD-Agencies)
