Viertel did not say she had the flu. He just referred to something running through the cast and made an allusion to other illnesses in other previewing Broadway shows. I think the purpose of his announcement was to explain why Benanti would not be kissing anyone during the show. There were a couple of places (Act 1 finale especially) where she should be lip-locked with either Joey or Tony, but instead we saw only hugging last night. Viertel expected the kissing to be back in tonight. Benanti looked and sounded fine throughout. Viertel said she made it through many performances of INTO THE WOODS with a broken neck, so performing with a cold or something was cake for her.
