According to a statement from the production, Peters "is battling a respiratory infection that has reoccurred. She is being treated with antibiotics and has been told by her doctors that she needs rest."

Maureen Moore has appeared on Broadway in Cabaret, Sunset Boulevard, Falsettos, Les Misérables, Jerome Robbins’ Broadway, Amadeus, Big River, I Love My Wife, Moonie Shapiro Songbook and as June in the 1974 production of Gypsy.
