THE MUSIC MAN Previews — Page 16

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:

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.

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

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.

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

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

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



So, you have no answer.

Correct, I don’t have an answer for you, 

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.
