She needs to REST! These artists are pushed way too hard by their teams and the industry doesn't care if they literally collapse on stage.
Hope she gets better soon, but these performers know what they're signing up for when they take those contracts!
Yeah, that's tough to watch, but I'd want to know what actually happened before blaming everyone around her.
Extreme exhaustion?? Girl is out here doing shows for 8 weeks on top of everything else and people are shocked she collapsed, this industry is INSANE.
You're 100% right - that's exploitation, plain and simple, and entertainers need real labor protections like the rest of us!
Hope she gets better soon, that's rough! Broadway is no joke, those shows are INTENSE and people don't realize how demanding they are on your body.
broadway really said "perform or you're not a real performer" and then acts shocked when people's bodies just tap out
I've seen what chronic sleep deprivation does to the human body and it's not just "being tired," it's your organs literally failing.
So what's she supposed to do, cancel the whole run and stick thousands of people with refunds?
That's literally irrelevant when we're in a climate emergency and need to be cutting down massive energy-waste spectacles like this anyway!
Hope she's okay but also this is what happens when you're working yourself to death in a system that treats artists like disposable machines!! She shouldn't have to push through "extreme exhaustion" just to keep a show going.
Wow that's scary, glad she's okay! Broadway plus everything else is absolutely brutal on the body.
