Here’s J. Oconer Navarro’s epic story of how he made his Broadway conducting debut last night. He was never supposed to conduct Caroline, or Change! The show would not have gone on if he didn’t hop a flight from Chicago yesterday morning. What a wild scenario. Not like the show is all music…ha!
Looks like he’s conducting again tonight, in case anyone has tickets.

He had played the show before, to his credit. But still a crazy story.
I think conducting and being a sub pianist (he’s not even the regular player) is a totally different thing. Not anyone can just conduct a show. It’s like asking a sub assistant stage manager who works stage left to call a show from the stage manager booth.
Ain’t Too Proud has been cancelled on Monday. Perfs resume Tuesday
Arena Stage has cancelled their last performances of "Seven Guitars" due to Covid.
So far 6 out of my last 8 subscription tickets to various venues in the dc area have been cancelled due to illnesses. I doubt if I will buy any subscriptions next year.

I've heard the same. Although I will stop short of "confirming" it, until the tickets are offline.

They just posted on social media. Confirmed.
At the very least, it provides more time for load out and for setting up Paradise Square.

This breaks my heart. I saw one of Ciara's first performances as Jenna and she was phenomenal.
Sad. Is this the first show to have Covid Shutdowns completely end their runs on both Broadway and the West End?
I was rooting for this almost-all-Black principal cast. So sad they won’t be able to complete their run.
Flying Over Sunset for the rest of the week.
Seeing reports on social media that Thoughts Of A Colored Man canceled tonight?

I originally saw just one tweet from a guys who looked like he had a few fries short of a Happy Meal, but then I bounced over to the BwayToday sight and it seems to be off tonight and tomorrow (12/24)
EDIT: The show was cancelled tonight, confirmed on Da’Vinchi’s Instagram. Also, Garrett Turner (u/s) posted he will be on every performance through 1/4 and that Dyllon Burnside has been sidelined with COVID.
As of now, the only shows they have listed as “ON” tomorrow are Clyde’s and Company
