- Audience members were in for an unexpected treat regarding yesterday’s final performance of the Tony award-winning August: Osage County: Rondi Reed, the originator of the role of the boozy Mattie Fae Aiken, returned to play the role for the last time. Ms. Reed is currently performing the role of Madame Morrible in Wicked, which she returned to later on Sunday for an evening performance.

- Oops – the main computer of Broadway in Chicago’s Mary Poppins crashed. After 45-minutes of unsuccessful IT support, the audience was told the performance would have to be canceled. Double oops.
