Broadway Beat: COVID Stops “Come From Away” Again, Michael Jackson Actor Replaced at Intermission

Share

COVID: The Musical keeps going.

Last night at “MJ: The Michael Jackson Musical” actor Myles Frost, who plays adult Michael, didn’t come back for Act 2. He presumably tested positive for coronavirus. He was replaced by understudy Aramie Payton, who is said to have acquitted himself very well. Imagine being an understudy and being pressed into duty with no notice while the audience is busy peeing and getting drinks. These people are Talented and Brave!

Meantime. “Come from Away” has stopped again and will resume January 4th.

It’s a mess out there!
