To give her the benefit of the doubt: she was apparently symptomatic with Covid, a respiratory infection after all. I’m no advocate*for her performance or casting but there’s no denying the challenge in returning to this vocally challenging role on the cusp of a debilitating disease. Calling out the second show of a Saturday sounds like acceptance of an inability to deliver tonight.

*yes, I saw a Wednesday matinee in June

It's not a vocally challenging role if you can't sing any of the songs any better than a drunk sorority girl on karaoke night.

Name me one sorority girl who actually sings songs from "Funny Girl," drunk or not.
