Posted: 1/6/18 at 3:46pmAccording to her Instagram, Amy Schumer is sick and out of both performances of Meteor Shower today. How exciting for Kate Reinders, who will now have gone on for both Benanti and Schumer in the same week, but I can imagine that many people who bought tickets specifically to see Schumer may be disappointed

I look at https://www.instagram.com/amyschumer/, but all I see is a bunch of pictures she posted. (I'm not very Instagram knowledgeable). How can I pull up her post where she says she's out sick today?

Not that it's inaccurate, but a better title for this thread would be
"Amy Schumer out of Meteor Shower TODAY"
If the title of this thread were a Facebook ad, I'd call it clickbait

Technically, instead of today, January 6 would be more appropriate. Since, any day someone reads this, it will be today for them.

Even better (although given how we revive dead threads, "Jan 6th, 2018" )

Probably wasn't an easy decision. Both Schumer & Benanti must be very sick. Reinders must have been ready to go on for Schumer again when Benanti decided to call out sick, too. I'm assuming Benanti was likely sick through during yesterday's shows, too.
A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013. Another non-equity tour launched on January 20, 2018. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City and then toured throughout Japan August & September 2018.

If someone didn't read Broadwayworld, how would someone have known that Amy Schumer had already posted to Instagram yesterday that she wasn't feeling well and wouldn't be in the show? For example, I checked on Telecharge.com at 6pm yesterday and nothing was posted. (Thank you again to the person who posted this yesterday!)

Posted: 1/7/18 at 2:17pmI would’ve given the world to see Kate play both parts simultaneously.

The obvious answer here seems to be read Instagram?

Saw the show last night. It was way better than I expected. Was sad to see Amy out, but always fun to see an understudy. Kate did a great job though it seems that former Glindas are like former Pizza Hut's. The business changes but you can always tell!
I'd highly recommend seeing it before it closes!

Do producers typically carry insurance for this type of situation, and the situation where Amy calls out and refunds are offered?

Is there any chance this extends or would that have been announced already? Will be in the city the week after and have an interest in seeing it.

It would really help if when people cite instagram, they paste in the direct link of the image whose caption they're referring to. Same as when someone says "via twitter" but doesn't link to the tweet.

Anybody know if the cast is all feeling better and back in? I'm seeing this Saturday afternoon and really there more for the cast than the play. (The risk you take, I know.)

Benanti was on Colbert last night as Melania! No sign of a cold.

I saw it last night (Wednesday) and everyone was in! And they all seemed healthy, though actors are good at acting, so who knows. Enjoy the play!
