COVID has hit Sutton Foster for the second time around.
The star of Broadway’s “The Music Man” announced that she tested positive again for the virus.
“Hi everybody I just wanted to let everyone know that today, this morning, I tested positive for COVID,” she shared in a video posted on Instagram Sunday. “I just send all my love to everybody at the Winter Garden and to all of you. Stay healthy, stay safe and see you soon.”
Expressing sorrow in her caption, the 47-year-old Tony Award winner assured audience members they were “in good hands” with her understudies Audrey Cardwell and Kathy Voutko as the character Marion Paroo.
Sutton will be out of performances through July 6.
The actress, who TV viewers know from her starring role on the TV Land series “Younger,” tested positive for the illness in December, together with her co-star Hugh Jackman during the show’s preview performances.
The day after performing with the cast at the Tony Awards, Jackson announced his second bout with COVID. The “Wolverine” star returned to the show June 22.
As COVID continues to spread and cause lengthy absences, Broadway League President Charlotte St. Martin announced last week that all theaters on the Great White Way will adopt a mask-optional policy for the month of July.
