Broadway’s revival of “The Music Man” on Tuesday canceled performances for five days after star Hugh Jackman tested positive for COVID.

In the latest New York City show to fall victim to COVID-19, Jackman wrote on Twitter that he had only mild symptoms, including a scratchy throat and runny nose, and that as soon as he was cleared he would be back on stage.
