Lea Michele Takes Break From Funny Girl After Son Ever Was Hospitalized For ‘Scary Health Issue’

Lea Michele has a message for fans hoping to see her on Broadway. On Wednesday, the Glee alum took to Instagram to inform followers that she’d be bowing out of her Funny Girl performances that day, after her 2-year-old son, Ever, whom she shares with husband Zandy Reich, had been hospitalized with a “scary health issue.” She uploaded a pic of the little one in what looks to be a hospital bed with a stuffed animal by his side and her arm draped over him, writing: Related: Hoda Kotb Emotionally Reveals Daughter’s Hospitalization In Today Return The 36-year-old apologized once more, asking fans for some “strength” as her son received care: How terrifying — literally any parent’s worst nightmare!

The Scream Queens star didn’t specify exactly what her little boy was going through, but it has to be pretty serious if he wound up in the hospital.

We just hope everything ends up okay. Producers of the Broadway musical later confirmed Lea’s absence from the Wednesday showings, adding a bit more details on Twitter: But the show must go on, as they informed fans that Broadway darling Julie Benko would be filling in for Lea, who plays the role of Fanny Brice: As of now, there has been no word if Lea’s absence will be limited to just Wednesday, or if she’ll need to take an extended leave to deal with her son’s situation.

We’ll just have to keep our eyes peeled for more updates… But in the meantime, we wish a fast recovery for little Ever and send lots of strength!
