\n\tJosh Gad, who\u2019s currently starring as Bud Davenport in Broadway\u2019s Gutenberg! The Musical!<\/em>, had to bow out of a weekend performance due to a medical situation that his doctors said \u201cneeded to be addressed immediately.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cNot the news I\u2019d like to share, but life happens. Unfortunately, I will not be at this afternoon\u2019s performance of Gutenberg. I\u2019m dealing with a medical emergency that despite telling my doctors I wanted to wait till Monday to address, they thought needed to be addressed immediately,\u201d he wrote Saturday (Oct. 7) on Instagram, where he also shared a video. <\/p>\n

\n\tHe announced that Russell Daniels would fill in for the role of Bud Saturday afternoon at the musical, which is playing at James Earl Jones Theatre in New York City.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cOff to hospital for (hopefully) quick treatment and then with any luck will be back by this evening,\u201d Gad wrote. \u201cIn the meantime, please help me wish @russelljdaniels the best of luck as he makes his Broadway debut as Bud! I know he is going to give you all the show of your lives!\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tIn the video clip Gad posted, he apologized for missing the show and added, \u201cI would rather be spending my afternoon with all of you than at a hospital. I hope that this gets resolved pretty quickly and I\u2019ll be back on stage with my buddy [Gutenberg!<\/em> co-star Andrew] Rannells as soon as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tLater on Saturday, he provided an update confirming that he would be back for Saturday night\u2019s performance.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThanks to the phenomenal team at Lenox Hill, I was able to be diagnosed and treated in record time for some lower abdominal issues I\u2019ve been having,\u201d Gad wrote in a \u201cgood news\u201d message. \u201cWith their blessing, I will be back in the show this evening.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tGutenberg! The Musical!<\/em> is described as<\/a><\/em> \u201cthe story of two best pals named Bud and Doug who put on a show together because they just love each other so damn much. It\u2019s art imitating life imitating art! And it\u2019s the funniest thing to come to Broadway since 1448! (Which is the year the printing press was invented by Johannes Gutenberg, who is the subject of the musical that Bud and Doug write, but that\u2019s not important right now.)\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tGad is known for a long list of film and television credits, including voicing Olaf in Disney\u2019s Frozen<\/em> franchise, and his work on the stage: He received a Grammy Award in 2012 for best musical theater album for his work in The Book of Mormon<\/em>, and he was nominated for best actor in a music at the Tony Awards in 2011.<\/p>\n
