Mazar also posted a photo of herself in a neck brace. Click here to see the photo.

It appears the pain may have set in following the dance as Mazar seemed fine at last night’s post-show interviews. In fact, the only thing she hinted was wrong was some show nerves.

I was just sort of… trying to like not show my emotion but I’m not good at that. I’m very expressive, but I had really good moments.”
