Isaac Powell, who stars as Tony in the musical, hurt his knee during a preview performance
Producer Scott Rudin revealed director Ivo van Hove’s highly anticipated reimagining of the classic musical will postpone its official opening night by two weeks to give leading man Isaac Powell a chance to finish previews, which started on Dec. 10.
Powell, 24, hurt his knee during Friday night’s performance and was seen limping toward the end of the show,“We’re postponing two weeks – from February 6 to February 20 – to give Isaac the chance to recover from an injury to his knee, so that he can have the same duration of preview playing period we’ve always had scheduled,” Rudin told Deadline. “Luckily he is much braver than me and will be back and playing his full, remarkable show very shortly.
Powell plays Tony, half of the duo that makes up the musical’s take on Romeo and Juliet. Jordan Dobson will fill in for the actor while he recovers, the outlet reports.
