Also, the musical’s co-lead, Sutton Foster, revealed late last week that she had tested positive for the virus. 

“Just wanted you to hear it from me. I tested positive for covid,” Jackman tweeted today. Mild symptoms and as soon as I’m cleared … looking forward to getting back to The Winter Garden! @MusicManBway
