She was scheduled to perform in tonight’s show up until 5:15pm this afternoon. I was supposed to attend tonight’s performance, but opted to get a refund instead. This would have been my fourth time seeing the show.

No she was not scheduled to be out tonight.  It must be that she's upset not being nominated a TONY. Seems obvious enough!

I am so happy for Nick. I also loved Tveit in this and thought this performance was more deserving of a nomination than his performance in Moulin Rouge. JMO

Well this is all pretty transparent isn’t it.

id say it’s Karma that she hasn’t been nominated. She clearly doesn’t want to go in and see her colleagues being celebrated and not her."

There was one time people were making assumptions about Lea being out during FG and being hateful online and it turned out her son was in hospital. lets be careful about making assumptions.

Also her sickness the last week of FG. The hateful assumptions were out of control while she was probably recovering from a miscarriage.

The truth is she was out sick last Friday night and powered through the weekend. Pretty sure she needed to call out tonight to preserve her health the rest of the week.

Correct. She was out on Friday and when I saw her on Sunday, her voice sounded extremely rough. I hope she feels better soon and these hateful, disgusting comments are deleted.

I'm not a big fan, but I find it specious to presume her lack of a nomination would inspire a callout. It's a tough role to sing, and anyone who's been through the allergy hell that many of us experienced the last 6 days or so would understand vocal problems. The pollen hit big mid-week, and it's felled many. I hope she feels better and returns.

They've also had a lot of swings on lately. Allergy season? 5 swings were on tonight.

Care to provide any evidence for your ridiculous claim?

She also didn't go to the Met Gala which I believe she would have been invited too.

I might be weird but if a performer feels they couldn't give thier best either due to sickness or not mentally up to it is that so bad to hand it off to someone who can give 100%?
