He said there were 14 actors out yesterday as well as crew, wardrobe, musicians, etc., and swings were split tracking up to 5 roles."

Do you have the link to this post?

I highly doubt the show will play without Hugh, and now without Max. The cast is obviously overworked and dropping like flies, and the number of cancellations from Hugh being out will just lead to cancelling the shows outright. There's a reason Boy From Oz went dark when he was out."

Yes. Not sure if this will work. Copying and pasting from my screenshots:

Emily Jewel Hoder covered 3 tracks the other night. Very impressive for a 10 year old! I'm sure her mind was racing the entire night (mine would be!)

Apparently one of the swings was doing a split track in covering 7 parts.

That is not ok. I understand they’re giving their all to keep the show going but that’s a little much.

Tonight at 7pm someone involved with the show is going live on Instagram. Have no idea who the person is other than his name on IG is neffnyc

The show will not go on without Hugh!  Performances resume Thursday Jan 6 when both Hugh and Sutton are back in! Tickets-performances are not showing on the site prior to that date!

So, the same thing Jordan said, but with a lot more words and exclamation points. Got it.

I wonder if opening night will be pushed back.

Listened for about 5 minutes. He's spilling all the tea. Completely agree that everyone should be tested prior to entering the theater.

What “tea” did he spill? Was it just about how some theatres are using testing other than PCR?

More or less that protocols are essentially different for every show, theater and union. And you're basically cleared to go back to work if you are asymptomatic following your 10-day quarantine, even if you continue to test positive.

I thought that IG Live was fascinating. I never knew the Cycle Threshold Value for the PCR tests could vary depending on the machine’s settings to determine whether someone was positive or not. It was a great science lesson and as he said his “Erin Brockovich” moment in terms of calling out how these values are being hidden. Also, being instructed by management to check the box on their testing forms saying that they haven’t been exposed to anyone with Covid was eye opening.

I’ve read you can continue to test positive for weeks to months after having covid. Since the contagious period is only a few days, my guess is that after 10 days in quarantine then you shouldn’t be contagious which is why they’re letting people back even if they still test positive. But definitely wish I had IG to listen to what he was aging.

Yes, he said you could test positive for up to 90 days. The more interesting part, though, was that if the PCR machines are set to detect Covid when it is present at a certain percentage, but that percentage is higher than what actually constitutes a contagious amount, then you would test negative yet still be infectious.

First of all, the key is contagiousness, not positivity. That's not a news flash.

Secondly, as we assume everyone will be back on their clearance day, and even though we have been very very lucky on that score, it is well to remember that this is a disease and that people recover differently. We are going to have people who have ongoing respiratory issues, and we are going to have people who are not going to take chances damaging what they have spent so much of their lives developing. 

Third, the IG has all kinds of issues but it does remind us of this and also of the deep well that the League has dug for itself, that folks will not be forgetting anytime soon. 

Fourth, I continue to believe that what we are doing is unsustainable and fundamentally damaging. Notwithstanding, I hope everyone stays safe and recovers speedily. 

Fifth, don't believe everything you read or hear on instagram. lol (I didn't think I would still have to explain that in 2021 going on 2022.)

So, for those of us who did not watch, does "he" have a name?  What are his medical, scientific or professional credentials?

For those who didn’t watch, you can go watch the videos posted on his IG account.

I didn't catch it all, but based on his pictures, it looks like he's involved with the costume department with Music Man

A Google search of neffnyc shows that the IG account belongs to a Matthew Neff.

There’s also a Matthew Neff, with a Broadway connection, on Twitter.
