The story I remember is that someone wished an actor 'good luck' before =
a
performance. During the performance, all sorts of bad things happened.
Maybe, the actor even broke their leg. Someone then quipped - maybe we
should have wished that they broke their leg and the reverse would have
happened.

As other posts have indicated, theatre is full of superstition and =
folklore.
