Assassins cancelled for the rest of the week. I had tix for tonight.

I had an Assassins ticket for the matinee. Something told me not to go, and my gut was right. I live 90 minutes away, and that would’ve been a pain.

Goddamnit, they were doing so well.

And they're one of the "because of rising cases in general" cancellations - not one of the "we had a case in our company" cancellations.

Such a bland apology. I hope AEA is looking to get rid of her.

Not sure much leverage AEA has on that front, unfortunately.
However- it looks like Company is adding additional swings and covers.

An hour before curtain they announce they're shutting down "out of an abundance of caution". This is starting to get a little ridiculous--not the cancelation part, but the not notifying of audiences until many have already left for the theatre and planned their days around it. Someone tests positive an hour before curtain? Okay, nothing you can do about that. But suddenly deciding that because cases are on the rise you're canceling an hour before you're supposed to perform? Did they not know what omicron was until 12:00 today?

"Is There Still Sex In the City" just announced retro-active closing. They played their final performance this past weekend.

I only see Jeff Kready as newly added. Is there anyone else?

I agree last-minute cancellations are a problem, but I don’t think this is just general caution—if that’s the case, why would they only have cancelled today and tomorrow? My guess is they just found positive cases in the company and had enough coverage, but decided to cancel out of caution.

Aaron Tveit's IG story suggests he's back today.

For those who may not know, but Jeff Kready is the husband of Nikki Renee Daniel’s. Amazing they get to perform together!

I’m headed to NYC in January and seeing Phantom. Thankfully it’s a 1pm matinee so if needed, I can find a 2pm or 3pm matinee to fill my afternoon. Not ideal but I’ll make it work.

We're just minutes away from the resumption of Mrs. Doubtfire... hope all goes well. LMK about any covers on today besides Brian Martin.

Three understudies (for Satine, Nini, and La Chocolat) and six swings on this afternoon.

I saw on Instagram that Addison Takefman will be on for Natalie Hillard at least this afternoon and evening.

Just received an email that my 12/25 ticket for Come From Away was cancelled. The calendar shows the full week is cancelled but they haven't posted on social media yet. I was able to rebook for 12/26 and the seat map showed most seats available.
Bummer about Assassins. I was there last night and I think everyone was on.

If you think that, you don't understand labor relations at all. She is negotiating. She is creating pressure on her adversaries.

Come From Away indeed cancelled through December 25.

Oh, I hope the young girl who usually plays Natalie is healthy and well.

American Utopia just announced that they're cancelling the 8pm show tonight
Posted: 12/22/21 at 3:46pm
At Little Shop of Horrors another understudy posted that they will be on for Seymour next week. So, that means Jeremy Jordan is out this week and next week.
