Ariana Debose using a cane

I saw the matinee of Summer yesterday afternoon and Ariana Debose was using a cane for most of the show. Does anyone know what happened to her? I don't think it was supposed to be part of the show.

Are there that many reasons why people start needing a cane? I'm going to go with... she hurt her foot?

If she's injured, why can't her understudy go on instead?
A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013. Another non-equity tour launched on January 20, 2018. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City and then toured throughout Japan August & September 2018.

Ugh, that must suck. That's such a physical role, she does so much dancing, not to mention the fight choreography. Was her understudy not ready, or were there Tony voters there? I can't imagine why she'd otherwise try to get through the show.

I'm guessing Tony voters

I didn't want to start a new thread on this, but as long as someone mentioned the fight sequence, I thought I'd offer my thoughts.

This scene, including Enough Is Enough, was the (unintentional) funniest thing I've seen on a stage in a long time. I thought the entire show falls into the "its so bad its good" category but having Donna use a Barbra Streisand coffee table book to slap the gun out of her ex-husbands grip was pure, hysterical genius.
