Actress Sutton Foster fell and broke her arm while rehearsing "I'm An Accident Waiting to Happen" this past week for the musical "The Drowsy Chaperone."

"I wasn't even dancing," the Tony winner said Thursday. "I was just stepping backward, and my feet went forward, and I fell backward and caught myself with my hands."

"The Drowsy Chaperone" is still scheduled to open Nov. 18 at Los Angeles' Ahmanson Theatre, but Foster said she'll have to modify her performance, dropping routines including a dive roll through a hoop, cartwheels and complicated lifts.
