The full extent of #Kerri-Anne #Kennerly’s injuries has been revealed after a trapeze fall during a performance of the stage musical #Pippin.

#Incredibly, #Kennerley managed to finish the show before being taken to hospital.
#Kennerley plays the role of #Grandma #Berthe in the #Australian season of the hit musical, which recently started its string of shows at #Sydney’s #Lyric Theatre.
The #Aussie icon had previously spoken about the physical demands of the show.
“In my big number, I have to get on a trapeze and go up 15ft (4.5m),” she said.
“I’m helped by a very strapping, hunky trapeze artist and we do several movements including one called The #Bird, and one where I have to hang by my feet.”
#Footage has emerged of just that very moment – when #Kennerley is suspended upside down before falling.
The video footage shows the moment #Kennerley falls and people rush on stage to help her.
#Two months ago #Kennerley posted a video to #Instagram of her learning to use the trapeze.
“Told you I wanted to join the circus!”, she wrote.
“Now I have the chance to sing upside down.”
