A STRANGE LOOP On Broadway - Reviews & News Thread — Page 35

Did L Morgan Lee just decide not to do tonight's show or is she out with COVID? I don't get it.

Sorry, but you don't just take a night off when your show is barely able to keep going based on illness/COVID when you'll have every night off after January 15."

Are you her boss? Her producer? She could’ve had this night off planned a while ago and would’ve already been scheduled off regardless of current circumstances. Or maybe she is trying to preserve her voice so she can get through the rest of the run - especially since they have two shows tomorrow.

A quote from a redditor on a thread about the concert performance: “I saw the 8:00. I don’t think it was my imagination, but I felt tension on stage. The thoughts were exchanging looks through out”

what exactly is the drama being mentoned here, did i miss something?

My god

I love Broadway so much

If someone is sick, trust them. There are so many awful examples of people saying they are sick and the crowd not believing them.

I refuse to put examples here. You all know better.

This is a beautiful show. Life is more precious. Come on. After everything we have all been through/and Covid. Can't we be kind?

We can still debate box office. We can still be catty about theatre. But please, take sickness seriously."

This.

I’ve gotten to know many of the cast over the last year or so and they are working their darndest under bad producing, illness, infighting, and lack of understudies. They absolutely hate having any performance being cancelled, but life happens. And for a bunch of you keyboard warriors to turn around and say that someone of them may not or won’t be able to work on Broadway again is absolutely twisted when many of the performers in this show have given 5, 10, or even 15 years for this to come to fruition is absolutely ATROCIOUS even by this boards standards.

Just last year, we were lauding the playwright of THOUGHTS OF A COLORED MAN for stepping in when the cast was struck with COVID, and now in a one year period, we are dumping on one of the most important shows of recent time for having to do the same so they can still give people a show and having it go on.

SHAME. ON. YOU. ALL.

Almost flew across country to see this but glad I waited. Hopefully we’ll get a regional production or something.


You can blame it on the new variant but this show has been having issues with call outs since before the Tonys last year.

What a shame that a Best Musical winner can go so quickly from such heights to barely getting out of its own way.

She's missed well about a majority of performances at this point--- look how often her U/S Zachary is on as any indication...
