Thoughts of a Colored Man is Broadway's latest COVID casualty. I won't speculate on which but I think there will be at least a few more to come.
TINA?, Doubtfire? Ain't Too Proud? Girl From the North Country? Aladdin?"
Very conceivably, all of the above."
I’d replaceAladdinwithFlying Over Sunsetor maybe evenHadestown. The writing is on the wall forTina… we will see about the others after the Christmas holiday."
I’m confused why people keep throwing Hadestown in the mix, it’s been doing great business since re-opening?

As actor friends have voiced, reasons for absences are not routinely provided by management. There's no contractual obligation (contracts between anyone, including the understanding provided by productions/ ticketholders) and it's an invasion of privacy to demand explanations. We are curious in a pandemic, but curiosity doesn't entitle us to specifics. Actors who explain independent of production-issued statements can do so. But I've been reminded that it's not standard protocol to issue detailed explanations about health or injury, unless the actors choose to.

BWW posted a list of shows that are performing this weekend and Caroline or Change is missing. Have they canceled or is this just an oversight? I can’t find any official social media pages for the show other than the Roundabout page which hasn’t announced anything.

I noticed that too. It’s one of the three shows I’m hoping to see on my two-day early January trip.

Message the Roundabout people on Twitter. I made an error when purchasing a ticket for Trouble in Mind and noticed it after the purchase went through. I made a Twitter account yesterday and messaged them. They had the error corrected in less than an hour. I’m sure they would be happy about answering any questions about performance schedules.

Looks like this was corrected and the two scheduled performances for Sunday are now listed.

Per TDF, Sunday matinee's Flying Over Sunset has been canceled. Is the show still to stay?

I'm sure Kathy Voytko will be a wonderful Marian. Sutton is a gem and a dynamo. I hope she is as symptom-free as possible until she is able to return.

I can't keep up with Covid protocols - if someone tests positive, how long until they can come back?

I think it's still 10 days.

10 days.
CDC recently shortened it to 7 days for healthcare workers. Airlines also asked for it to be shortened. NY governor reduced it to 5 days for essential workers as long as they are asymptomatic and fever free.

Claybourne Elder said he's out of COMPANY through January 1. This would mean Sutton Foster would be out of Music Man through Jan. 2.

Check out the Playbill show listings for this week, which they keep updated to show cancellations: Playbill Weekly Show Listings
Thankfully Caroline, or Change is still on schedule for both performances on Sunday. I specifically bought tickets to see Clarke’s understudy that day, so I’m keeping my fingers crossed!

If Sutton is positive… I can’t imagine Hugh dodged it, and if he did, wow!
Keeping my eyes on that…

I was thinking thinking the same thing about Claybourne Elder with Katrina Lenk. With how highly transmittable Omicron is, it's strange -- but also encouraging, I suppose -- that someone can escape getting the virus from someone who they kiss onstage every day.

How long has he been out? The incubation period means the worst could be yet to come…

If we’re operating under the assumption that they’re testing their company every day over at The Music Man (which, God help us, I hope they are, by now), the intention of doing so is that you catch Omicron so early on in infection that you are not yet infectious yourself. If Sutton was tested on a Tuesday, let’s say, and was negative, her test that she took on Wednesday might’ve come up positive, but she was not infected long enough for the virus to have gained a large enough count to pass on to Hugh during performances that day (knock wood).

Even though Omicron is the dominant strain, Delta is still circulating and they’ll never know which one they had. The tests won’t tell you and I asked my doctor and was told it’s not information a person will probably ever be able to find out.

What research are you citing that there is possibly a world where you test positive and are not contagious?

Example- I had covid in October 2020 and did not pass it to anyone. My household got tested and everyone was negative.

^That is happening with quite a few people I know lately, as well. Coincidentally, the infected people have received boosters as have those they’d unintentionally been around. So it seems like it’s a crap shoot as to who will actually get infected.
