Josh Groban posted on his Instagram account on August 18 2023 that he has tested positive for Covid and that he will be sidelined from the Broadway production of Sweeney Todd during his recovery. Regular Pirelli and standby Sweeney Nicholas Christopher will play the Demon Barber during Groban's recovery.

This is unfortunate news for anyone who has tickets to see the show specifically for Josh Groban, but good news for anyone looking to get well-priced tickets in his absence, as undoubtedly many people will be looking for a refund or exchange. Annaleigh Ashford continues to play Mrs Lovett.

BroadwayWorld has published part 1 of a two-part history of the Sweeney Todd story (not just the musical)
