She is expected to return to the production on Tuesday, March 8, a spokesperson for the show said. LuPone reported symptoms before the matinee of “Company” on Feb. 26 and received an additional COVID test which came back positive. A second test confirmed the diagnosis.

“She is home resting, and everyone wishes her a speedy recovery,” the spokesperson for “Company” said in a statement.

LuPone played the same role in London, winning an Olivier Award for her efforts.

She won a second for her acclaimed turn as Rose in the 2008 Broadway revival of “Gypsy.” LuPone also played Fantine in the original London cast of “Les Misérables” and performed in Broadway revivals of “Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street” and “Anything Goes.
