Lea Michele’s 2-Year-Old Son Hospitalized for “Scary Health Issue”
Lea Michele is putting her family first.
The Glee alum announced she would be missing two performances in Funny Girl on Broadway because of a health scare involving her two-year-old son Ever Leo Reich.
“I’m so sorry but unfortunately I will be out of @FunnyGirlBwy today,” she wrote on Instagram Stories March 22. “We are at the hospital with our son dealing with a scary health issue that I need to be here for.”
“I’m so sorry,” Lea, who shares Ever with husband Zandy Reich, continued. “Please send us some love and strength.”
Funny Girl also confirmed the 36-year-old would be out of both the matinee and evening performances on March 22. Julie Benko will take over the role of Fanny Brice in Lea’s absence.
Lea has played the leading role in the comedy musical since last September, stepping in for Beanie Feldstein after she exited the Broadway show that July. While the actress was only expected to stay on until the end of spring, she ended up extending her run until the show closes in September 2023.
