Haha, how wrong you are! Allow me to show off my knowledge! On either side of the stage, there are special curtains called "legs" which help hide the actors that are waiting to come on. "Break a leg" is saying to "break" on stage, or simply go on the stage.

As someone who has researched this thoroughly, actors would dance until they broke their legs back in the the times of Shakespeare and before then. that is how the phrase was coined.

I've been an actress since I was 5, it's stuff you learn along the way! My old companies director was a school teacher. He gave us things to do while we were all growing up. plus, I've been in four years if classes dedicated to the craft.

Oh how wrong you are. Saying good luck to a person going on stage is considered to jinx them. So, to counteract this, they wish bad luck on others.
