Sarah Jessica Parker Tests Positive for COVID-19; Broadway's Plaza Suite Cancels Performance

The couple are currently starring in Broadway's Plaza Suite and the play's Instagram said Thursday's (Apr 7) performance would be “cancelled”.

The play’s production told Variety: “With both Matthew Broderick and Sarah Jessica Parker positive for COVID, tonight’s performance of Plaza Suite is cancelled.”

They apologised “for the inconvenience this has caused” but stressed that tickets can be changed for a different day or a refund and that updates about future performances will be shared soon. There was no word on how long the shutdown would last.

The statement continued: “The producers apologise for the inconvenience this has caused audience members. Ticket holders should contact their point of sale to reschedule for a future performance or obtain a refund. Everyone wishes Matthew and Sarah Jessica a speedy recovery.”

Last week, they announced that Matthew — who shares son James, 19, and 12-year-old twins Tabitha and Loretta with the And Just Like That star — tested positive for the virus on two different tests.

Their official Instagram read: "An important announcement for ticket holders. Thank you for your support and patience at this time. Matthew Broderick tested positive before today's performance of Plaza Suite, despite strict adherence to COVID safety protocols. A second test has confirmed the diagnosis."

The statement went on: "Sarah Jessica Parker has tested negative and will perform this evening. Everyone wishes him a speedy recovery."
