Amy Schumer out of Meteor Shower

According to her Instagram, Amy Schumer is sick and out of both performances of Meteor Shower today. How exciting for Kate Reinders, who will now have gone on for both Benanti and Schumer in the same week, but I can imagine that many people who bought tickets specifically to see Schumer may be disappointed

I look at https://www.instagram.com/amyschumer/, but all I see is a bunch of pictures she posted.  (I'm not very Instagram knowledgeable).  How can I pull up her post where she says she's out sick today?

Theater3232, click on the picture of the dog (most recent one) and read the caption.

You’ve got to click on the pictures. It should be the first one

Oh thank you, I never knew there were words hidden behind the pictures!   Thank you for posting since I might have tried to get tickets for tonight!!

Not that it's inaccurate, but a better title for this thread would be 

"Amy Schumer out of Meteor Shower TODAY"

If the title of this thread were a Facebook ad, I'd call it clickbait

Technically, instead of today, January 6 would be more appropriate. Since, any day someone reads this, it will be today for them.

Even better (although given how we revive dead threads, "Jan 6th, 2018" )

The matinee of Meteor Shower has been cancelled today, due to Amy Schumer still being ill

Probably wasn't an easy decision. Both Schumer & Benanti must be very sick. Reinders must have been ready to go on for Schumer again when Benanti decided to call out sick, too. I'm assuming Benanti was likely sick through during yesterday's shows, too.

If someone didn't read Broadwayworld, how would someone have known that Amy Schumer had already posted to Instagram yesterday that she wasn't feeling well and wouldn't be in the show?  For example, I checked on Telecharge.com at 6pm yesterday and nothing was posted. (Thank you again to the person who posted this yesterday!)

I would’ve given the world to see Kate play both parts simultaneously.

The obvious answer here seems to be read Instagram?

Saw the show last night. It was way better than I expected. Was sad to see Amy out, but always fun to see an understudy. Kate did a great job though it seems that former Glindas are like former Pizza Hut's. The business changes but you can always tell! 

I'd highly recommend seeing it before it closes!

Laura Benanti posted this about Kate Reinders/the canceled performance:

When was Reindeers on for Benanti this week?

Seems like it was Tuesday 1/2:

Do producers typically carry insurance for this type of situation, and the situation where Amy calls out and refunds are offered?

Is there any chance this extends or would that have been announced already? Will be in the city the week after and have an interest in seeing it.

It would really help if when people cite instagram, they paste in the direct link of the image whose caption they're referring to. Same as when someone says "via twitter" but doesn't link to the tweet.

Anybody know if the cast is all feeling better and back in? I'm seeing this Saturday afternoon and really there more for the cast than the play. (The risk you take, I know.)

Benanti was on Colbert last night as Melania! No sign of a cold.

I saw it last night (Wednesday) and everyone was in! And they all seemed healthy, though actors are good at acting, so who knows. Enjoy the play!
