Hugh Jackman is making sure to voice his support for the understudies and swings of Broadway amid a surge in Omicron cases which have resulted in many actors testing positive for COVID-19.
The actor, who is currently starring in “The Music Man” as Harold Hill, gave a special shout-out to understudy Kathy Voykto on Thursday after she filled in for Sutton Foster at the last minute.
Jackman told the audience in a clip shared by Katherine Winter, “Kathy, when she turned up at work 12 o’clock could have played any of eight roles.
It happened to be the leading lady. She found out at 12 noon today and at 1 o’clock she had her very first rehearsal as Marion Paroo.” READ MORE: Hugh Jackman Promises ‘Ghostbusters’ Fans Will Be ‘Obsessed’ With
