COVID-19 temporarily stops Daniel Craig’s return to Broadway

NEW YORK (AP) — Could it be the curse of the Scottish play?

Daniel Craig’s return to Broadway in a new version of “Macbeth” has been temporarily halted after the actor contracted COVID-19. The show’s official Twitter account says performances are canceled through Thursday. Craig stars in a revival of Williams Shakespeare’s tragedy, with Ruth Negga making her Broadway debut playing Lady Macbeth.

Other high-profile shows on Broadway have had to cancel shows due to their lead actor’s contracting the virus, including both “The Music Man” leads, Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster.
