I'm not sure what happened during this closing weekend of The Wiz, but the orchestra pit ended the show on a sick note. I don't mean that in good or bad terms of the music, but in literal terms of health. Without going into too much detail, several musicians had some sort of stomach bug. With each performance from Friday through the matinee and evening on Saturday and the closing matinee on Sunday people were sick as dogs. To put it simply, the trash can was passed throughout the drummer, the cellist, the guitarist, the violinist, the trumpet player, and the flute/piccolo player. However, the show went on and not a single person could tell because we all played as if we were the healthiest people there.
