Cagney & Lacey and Judging Amy star Tyne Daly has been forced to exit her much-anticipated role as Sister Aloysius Beauvier in the first Broadway revival of John Patrick Shanley’s Tony- and Pulitzer-winning play Doubt: A Parable.
“Ms. Daly was unexpectedly hospitalized on Friday and unfortunately needs to withdraw from the production while she receives medical care; she is thankfully expected to make a full recovery,” a statement released by Roundabout Theatre Company Tuesday afternoon read.
Daly, winner of six Emmy Awards and one Tony (for Best Actress in a Musical for her role as Rose in Gypsy, 1990), will be replaced in the role by Academy Award and two-time Tony nominee Amy Ryan, whose first appearance will be Tuesday, Feb. 13. Until then, the role will be played by Daly’s understudy, Tony nominee Isabel Keating.
