“It’s hard for me to admit I am human, particularly because performers are often asked to push through and pretend that we’re not,” the Smash singer continued. “I am so fortunate to work with the best producers, company, & stage managers, who don’t subscribe to that way of thinking and fully support me and my fellow cast mates when our bodies tell us it’s time for a break.”
And while her role will be briefly filled, Megan asked fans for their “patience and understanding” as the show works around her absence. She also wants viewers to extend that grace to other Broadway singers who take on the “Herculean task” of performing on stage every night.
“We are athletes, and just like a professional basketball player, we are going to get injured from time to time,” Megan explained. “I’ll be counting the seconds until I can meet you back at the Lunt-Fontanne.”
