Tracy Letts, Blair Brown, Sally Murphy, Austin Pendleton and Cliff Chamberlain were all out of THE MINUTES yesterday. Not trying to start rumors, but is there a covid situation going on? It seems like a huge amount of performers to be out otherwise.

I’d love to know if anyone has an info about when they might return. I was planning on seeing this Friday but I’m not super interested unless Letts is back.

Joe Forbrich is a former student of mine. He's also Letts' u/s. I'd be interested in knowing how he did in the role.

There were six out on Tuesday, so if it was five yesterday they may actually be moving in the right direction.

I'm here tonight. 6 out, including Letts and Pendleton. Always happy for understudies, but a little frustrating to see more than half the cast out...

It's possible there were six out at the Wednesday matinee too. I didn't see the performance; I just stopped by the theater to pick something up and noticed the understudy board. It definitely sounds like a Covid situation. I heard from a friend of Dan Dailey (Pendleton's understudy) that he's going to be on through Tuesday the 21st, so I assume that means that at least Pendleton is out on Covid protocols.

Was there last night too. While I did miss wanting to see the regular cast, have to say the understudies were by and large fantastic.

Does anyone know if Tracy Letts and Austin Pendleton have returned to the show since?

Can anyone tell me how well Joe Forbrich was when he went on for Letts?
Joe is a former student of mine.
