revival. At least, not on the scheduled Christmas Day and Dec. 26 shows, which have been officially canceled because of Covid-19.
The show was struck by illness earlier in the week, when actress Sutton Foster tested positive, causing her to miss Thursday’s preview performance. She posted Friday morning on Instagram, confirming the reason for her absence. Now, producers have taken it one step further, going dark for the next two scheduled dates and possibly into the future.
In announcing her absence, Foster thanked understudy Kathy Voytko, who stepped in for her on Thursday. The show had just begun previews on Monday, Dec. 20 at the Winter Garden Theater. “Yesterday I tested positive for COVID. At noon Kathy Voytko found out. And last night she went on for Marian Proo and smashed it,” Foster wrote on Instagram. “Grateful to Kathy and our incredible company. Grateful to all swings and understudies who keep all the shows going, now and always.” Show star Hugh Jackman gave a post-show speech celebrating Voytko as well.
“The courage, the brilliance, the dedication, the talent, the swings, the understudies, they are the bedrock of Broadway,” Jackman said.
