McDonald out of ‘Porgy and Bess’ for weeks

Bess is taking a rest. Audra McDonald is temporarily stepping down from her Tony Award-winning role in “The Gershwin’s Porgy and Bess” while she recovers from inflamed vocal cords.

She is due to return July 3. Says her spokesman: “No one is more frustrated and disappointed than she is that she will be out of the show through the end of June, but she must adhere to her doctor’s orders.”
