Jodie Comer was forced to leave her Broadway performance early yesterday (June 7) due to the ongoing air crisis in New York City.Comer took to the stage for a performance in her one-woman Broadway play, Prima Facie, but it was cut short after the actor reportedly told audiences “I can’t breathe in this air.”New York is currently experiencing an air quality crisis.
Created by over 400 active wildfires taking place in Canada, vast stretches of smoke have spread across several states in the northeastern part of the country — with the air quality in New York described as “very unhealthy” by Mayor Eric Adams (via New York Times).“We recommend all New Yorkers limit outdoor activity to the greatest extent possible,” Adams added. “Those with pre-existing respiratory problems, like heart or breathing problems, as well as children and older adults, may be especially sensitive and should stay indoors at this time.”Eyewitnesses at Comer’s performance yesterday recalled how a stage manager helped her off stage around three minutes into the matinée performance of her show.
It resumed soon after with Comer’s understudy Dani Arlington taking over, a spokesperson for the play confirmed to Variety.A spokesperson for the show also later confirmed to the Hollywood Reporter that Comer “had difficulty breathing due to the poor air quality in New York City”.Elsewhere in New York, performances of Hamilton and Camelot were also cancelled hours before show time on Wednesday night as a result of the poor air quality.“Tonight’s performance of Hamilton will not go on as scheduled,” Shane Marshall Brown, a spokesperson for the production, said.
