It has been an interesting week for Beanie Feldstein. First, she quit Funny Girl on Sunday, the show she is starring in on Broadway, reportedly without telling her bosses. Then on Monday, she was replaced by Lea Michele. Today, she announced that she has tonsilitis and will not be able to perform, at least, through the weekend.
“Hey everybody I’m just checking in. What have I missed? What’s been going on?” Feldstein says. “I’ll start. I just got back from the ears, nose, and throat doctor, who told me that I have tonsillitis, which is extremely contagious and she cannot allow me to go back on the stage through the weekend until I have enough antibiotics in my system to not be contagious anymore.
“The last thing I would want on this earth would be to get the people that I love sick, and I’m just not allowed to go on stage through the weekend. I cannot wait to do my last two weeks, and you just, you gotta laugh at a certain point. When it rains, it pours on your old pal Bean.”
Hopefully, she will be better by Tuesday, so she can go back on stage and sing her out until July 31st.
