I think Union rules require a person to be taken out after a certain amount of time away from a show."
This reminds me of when Rodney Hicks was out on leave from Come From Away. Josh Breckenridge was filling in and when it was announced Rodney couldn't return, a replacement was found. Equity rules has it that an understudy can only go on for for so long, even with a medical exemption.
A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013. Another non-equity tour launched on January 20, 2018. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City and then toured throughout Japan August & September 2018.
