    Teen actors' necks slit in school production of 'Sweeney Todd'

    CNN)A New Zealand high school production of a musical about a murderous barber had a disastrous opening night when two teen actors had their necks cut by a prop straight razor on stage, CNN affiliate TVNZ reports.

    The two 16-year-old actors were rushed to Auckland City Hospital on Wednesday night after sustaining the injuries during a performance of "Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street" at St. Kentigern College, a private school in Auckland, the New Zealand national broadcaster reported.
    One boy had serious and the other moderate injuries, but both were discharged from the hospital Thursday, TVNZ reported.
    CNN contacted the school but did not immediately hear back.

    How realistic. Schools are really stepping up their play productions.

    Should've asked Johnny Depp for the lead role.

    Was actually pretty smart. The best acting can get is actual acting from real things happening.

    I see bright things in these actor's futures. Assuming they don't die.

    That play must have really had the audience by the throat!

    When they said they put their blood sweat and toil into their roles, they really meant it!
    Human progress isn't measured by industry. It's measured by the value you place on a life.

    Just, be kind.

    Daniel Day Lewis, you should take notes. This is how the pros do it.

    I mean, at least neither performer was entirely necessary once their characters' throats had been slit... That aside, were they both offed in the same scene, or separately and no one thought to suggest perhaps the Barber take more care with his next victim between scenes backstage?
