Update, 12:16 pm PT: The “Prima Facie” matinée performance has resumed, with an understudy taking over for Jodie Comer. “Today’s matinee of ‘Prima Facie’ was halted approximately 10 minutes into the performance after Jodie Comer had difficulty breathing due to the poor air quality in New York City because of smoke from the Canadian wildfires,” a spokesperson for the play said in a statement. “The performance was set to start again from the top with understudy Dani Arlington going on for Ms.
Comer in the role of Tessa.” Previously: Jodie Comer is getting rave reviews for her performance in the one-woman Broadway play “Prima Facie,” but her June 7 performance was cut short due to nearly-unbreathable air in New York City.
Eyewitnesses say that Comer said she couldn’t breathe because of the air and a stage manager helped her off stage about 10 minutes into the matinée performance.
New York City is in its second day of terrible air quality as a result of Canadian wildfire smoke blowing in its direction. The city is bathed in a yellow hue, the air is difficult to breathe and smells like a burning campfire.
