from watching this- it seems like some shows are continuing with positive cases, they are having to cancel once they arn't able to provide coverage. but other shows are pulling the ripcord with just a case or two, "out of an abundance of caution."

its a free for all. every show is testing differently, and every show is responding to positive differently.

watching the "stars in the house" livestream, and Ciara Renee just said there have been several positive results at Waitress- enough that shes called out because she doesnt feel safe.

If I had my way, I'd take some of these empty hotels, rent them and quarantine everybody for the next two weeks."

I can speak as someone who was in one of the “bubbles” during shutdown- this won’t happen. It’s Christmas. Try and tell the entire cast, crew, FOH, and support that they can’t spend their already limited holiday time with their families. There would be a riot. 
 

plus, it’s nuts expensiv

reached out to my contacts, and unless theyre all having mass hallucinations, CFA is running right now.

totally speculating, but LMM did say that they were going to film the show with the original cast (including Jonathan Groff) for use at a future time. Groff is making room in his shooting schedule to come back, maybe this was the only time that worked? 

like i said, this is a total guess. 

 

I totally agree. It always makes me jumpy when I know they are using "real fake guns" in a performance. But, on the flip side, there is something about having a weapon that has a kickback, and produces it's own noise that can't be recreated with a sound effect. I worked on a show where using "real" guns wasn't an option. It was always difficult for both the actor and the stage manager to sic up the action of firing the gun with the go for the sound effect.

Very tragic accident, and hop
