Batman Live opened in Manchester on Tuesday and appeared to go smoothly after an accident occurred with the Batmobile in rehearsals last week.
The producers were quick to line up a replacement that was on show in the city centre.
The Batmobile, created by Formula One designer Gordon Murray, crashed into part of the Gotham City set during a rehearsal.
"But we hope that won't ever happen again," Batman Live set designer Es Devlin told BBC News. "Luckily we had two [cars]. It wasn't good. You couldn't have put it on stage.
"It literally came out, swizzled around and crashed into the Bank of Gotham. The Bank of Gotham took a bit of a hit but we patched it up and I don't think anyone would notice.
