Amid New York City’s air quality crisis, Jodie Comer halted her Wednesday, June 7, Broadway performance after 10 minutes on stage.
According to Variety, the 30-year-old Killing Eve alum told attendees at Manhattan’s Golden Theatre that she couldn’t breathe due to the poor air quality. Comer — who earned a Tony Award nomination for her role in the one-woman play — was quickly ushered offstage by a stage manager.
“So, Jodie Comer came onstage and did about 10 minutes of the show and then said, ‘Stop the show’ and said she couldn’t breathe and walked off stage,” celebrity stylist Brad Goreski said via his Instagram Story on Wednesday outside the theater. “So, we were all waiting for like half an hour to see if she was gonna come on and they finally said she’s not coming on. So, I’m going to come back and see the show another time.”
The England native’s understudy, Dani Arlington, took over the role for the remainder of the performance, a spokesperson for the play told the outlet on Wednesday. Comer has not further shared an update on her condition.
New York City has been under an air quality warning since Tuesday, June 6, as a result of wildfires in Canada blowing smoke in its direction. The city’s officials have since warned residents to stay inside since the air is difficult to breathe. The Manhattan skyline has also been cloaked in a burnt orange hue and the air smells like a burning campfire from the fires’ ashes.
Broadway productions — including Prima Facie — have not revealed if the air crisis will impact upcoming productions or the 2023 Tony Awards, which is scheduled to be broadcast live on Sunday, June 11.
