COVID is not done with Broadway yet. The new BA2 variant is playing havoc with shows as just as Omicron did. The new revival of Macbeth at the Longacre has paused preview performances until April 8 because star Daniel Craig and several cast members have tested positive. Performers in Paradise Square and Plaza Suite were out due to the virus and understudies went on in their place. A recent photo from a performance of Company featuring the cast list with several replacements was posted on Twitter. Hadestown cancelled two performances due to COVID absences. This complicates the Broadway schedule as April is stuffed with openings in order to beat the cut-off for Tony Award eligibility. The Scottish Play is scheduled to open on April 28, the last day for Tony eligibility. Note that Chris Rock said the unlucky name of the play minutes before Will Smith slapped him at the Oscars.
