ArtsBeat Blog Injured Broadway Stars Hope for Quick Returns to the Stage
Post on: 2011-11-02 By: admin
She said she was icing her left leg and right arm, which remain bruised, and that she is scheduled to have X-rays later Monday. She said she hoped to return to the show as soon as Tuesday night, but that was uncertain; she had never missed a performance for illness or injury before last weekend. In her living room on Sunday night, she rehearsed “The Story of Lucy and Jessie,” her biggest dance number from the show, to try to modify some of the movements to be pain-free.
Mr. Gad, meanwhile, began Thursday night’s performance of “Mormon,” in which he plays the sweetly grating Elder Cunningham, but was injured midway through and was replaced by an understudy. At the end of Thursday’s performance, Andrew Rannells, who co-stars with Mr. Gad as one of two young Mormon missionaries in Africa, told the audience that Mr. Gad had been injured, according to one audience member and postings on theater blogs.
A spokesman for the production said on Monday that Mr. Gad did not perform over the weekend but may return in Tuesday night’s performance. The spokesman declined to comment on the nature of Mr. Gad’s injury.
