Overview
- Appearing on Late Night With Seth Meyers, Coon said she experienced throat-closing episodes after spraying fake blood during the January 7 matinee.
- The matinee was halted and the evening preview was canceled, which show representatives initially attributed to an unspecified illness in the company.
- Coon received medical attention and pursued treatments including medication, acupuncture, and massage, and the condition subsided before the January 8 opening.
- Producers had a contingency to incorporate any vocal changes into the character if symptoms returned, but the opening performance proceeded without incident.
- Manhattan Theatre Club’s Bug, written by Tracy Letts and directed by David Cromer, is running at the Samuel J. Friedman Theatre with Carrie Coon and Namir Smallwood, and the engagement has been extended to February 22.
