| It seems that many actors are out this week for what seems like lots of unrelated reasons. As noted already, Hugh Jackman, Beanie Feldstein, and Patti LuPone have been out. From social media posts, it seems that Joaquina Kalukango has also missed a performance, 4 of the six queens in Six were out at the same time, and so were 6 of the 11 cast members of The Minutes. That performance of The Minutes must have been one to remember! | |

| I NEVER go to shows the first 2 weeks after the Tonys. Actors are always calling out. After a month of press and rehearsals and pressure to be at their best for the voters at every show, they always call out after the awards. |

| Was Joaquina Kalukango out last night (6/15)? She definitely did the Tuesday evening performance and Wednesday matinee. She sounded a little rough at the Tonys, to be sure. | |

| Yes, Weds night. Someone on BWW said they had tickets to the show, but they were able to get a refund and see POTUS instead. | |

| I was at The Minutes last night, and the understudies were terrific!! (The actors who were out were Blair Brown, Cliff Chamberlain, Tracy Letts, James Vincent Meredith, Sally Murphy, and Austin Pendleton.) I've seen the show a few times--a friend is one of the understudies--and I'd never have known it wasn't the original cast. (And Mike--hi!--it's Deb P from Baker's Wife, 2001!) | |

| Is James Vincent Meredith in The Minutes now? Is it possible you meant the other black Steppenwolf actor, K. Todd Freeman? | |

| Ah! Thank you. He was swell in the role in Chicago! Good for him (I loved him in Teeth and love him generally)! I even checked IBDB before I posted to make sure I wasn't mistaken and they don't list the replacement... but Playbill does. I bet on the wrong horse. Explains why (to my dismay) Meredith bailed on the production of Choir Boy here at Steppenwolf. |

| If the cause is covid everyone must be informed. People close to them - audience included - must know, for themselves and their family, if they've been exposed to this highly contagious virus. | |

| It's very unlikely to cross the footlights. Stop reading alarmist literature. | |

| Ventilation is more important than distance in an enclosed space. I think it really depends on how well the air is circulated. Have theaters upgraded their ventilation? I did a quick search but did not find stories stating that they have. Kimberly A. Prather, PhD, the Distinguished Chair in Atmospheric Chemistry, Scripps Institution of Oceanography, UC San Diego, has long been advocating for better filtration. This explanation about distance is from a FAQ about covid-19 that Prather wrote with 11 other scientists:
The SF Gate article talks about why the 6-feet rule should be reconsidered and refers to a Swiss study that "demonstrated that SARS-CoV-2 can be spread by aerosols over distances of at least 8 meters (26 feet)." Also, check out the the COVID-19 Indoor Safety Guideline site the lets you run different hypothetical situations using room specification, population, behavior, age group, and viral strain. |
