They probably figure they'll have most people asking for refunds if they go ahead with an understudy, that it is simpler to cancel these performances before people get to the theatre. Perhaps they hope some will reschedule to see the show.

What a joke that they won't let Halstead go on. They'd rather cancel performances than have her go on. How insulting."
Exactly why I won’t bother rebooking- I get the feeling this is going to be an ongoing issue with this show.

Farrow got COVID, which caused her to miss a few performances. She came back to the show as soon as she was cleared. Now LuPone has COVID and will presumably be out for a couple of days. She's not known to be a canceler and will likely be back as soon as she's able. I don't see absences being an ongoing issue now that both ladies have gotten COVID, because the rest of the run would be within their immunity window.
"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe."

The audience for this wants to see these 2 ladies and tbh the only reason to see this play is with them. Producers are smart to cancel as nobody wants to see an understudy go on with Mia. They got by the 1st time when Mia was out with Mason subbing but many asked for refunds reflective in the bo 12% drop.

An orchestra seat last Tuesday night was $229.
I found the ticket on the floor as I was exiting at the end of the show. At that price I want to see the known stars, not an understudy. Let's get real.

I noticed both sides have partial view for cheap. Which side is better? House left or.right?

I can’t speak for house left, but I sat house right row E and didn’t feel like I missed a thing.
