“Unfortunately, I have officially tested positive for COVID. In following production protocol I cannot return to the theater for 10 days,” Lea wrote on her Instagram Story.

“Thankfully staying home today and catching this early protected so many members of our company from being exposed,” Lea continued. “Funny Girl has been and still is tackling a tremendous wave of COVID with close to a dozen company members currently out.”

She added, “We are almost on the other side of this and our swings and understudies are doing such an incredible job to keep our show on its feet.”

“This week has been a dream come true and I cannot wait to get back,” Lea concluded. “You better get ready. See you soon.”

Lea just started her run as Fanny Brice in Funny Girl on Broadway on Tuesday, September 6.

We hope Lea feels better soon!
