The 7 PM performance on June 23 will now mark the 100th show of the Tony Award-nominated revival, which stars "Harry Potter" actor Daniel Radcliffe.
On June 22 the evening curtain was delayed after a stagehand went into cardiac arrest backstage. He was later pronounced dead at a Manhattan hospital.
Radcliffe and his Tony Award-winning co-star John Larroquette took to the stage June 22 to inform the audience of the backstage tragedy and that the performance would not go on that evening, according to the New York Times.
Representatives issued a statement saying that "the incident was not caused by an accident related to the production. The cast, crew and theatre staff mourn the loss of this member of their theatrical family."
Audience members for the canceled June 22 performance have been able to exchange or refund their tickets. *
