‘Gypsy’ on Broadway cancels both shows Thursday as illnesses impact company – NBC New York

“Gypsy,” the latest revival of the Stephen Sondheim classic on Broadway, has canceled both performances scheduled for Thursday after multiple illnesses hit the company, according to a social media post.

With less than two hours to curtain, “Gypsy” announced on social media it is canceling the Thursday evening 7:30 p.m. performance.

“Due to continued illness within the company, tonight’s performance is cancelled. We apologize for the inconvenience. Please check with your point of purchase to exchange or refund your tickets,” the post read. It was posted at 5:36 p.m.

The move comes just hours after the show canceled its Thursday matinee performance.

“Due to continued illness within the company, this afternoon’s performance is cancelled. We apologize for the inconvenience. We will provide updates regarding our 12/26 evening performance as they are available. Please check with your point of purchase to exchange or refund,” the post said.

“Gypsy” canceled shows on Monday and Wednesday for illnesses.

The latest production of Gypsy stars six-time Tony winner Audra McDonald alongside Danny Burstein, Joy Woods and Jordan Tyson.

The next scheduled performance is set for Friday at 7 p.m. It’s unclear if that show will proceed as scheduled.

Gypsy is playing at the Majestic Theatre on 44th Street. Opening night was Dec. 19.
