Lest anyone think that Julie Taymor's popular production of The Lion King got off without injury, it turns out many of the dancers in that show sustained injuries just by coming to work and performing their moves every day—though this is a problem plaguing many Broadway productions. The actors who play the giraffes tend to have wrist issues from clutching their stilts. Likewise, the actresses who play the cheetah sometimes have back problems. And it has been suggested that the elaborate, and heavy masks and headpieces can exacerbate cervical and upper-thoracic strain in cast members.
