Kudisch’s Injury Keeps Him Offstage

Marc Kudisch, who recently had an onstage mishap during the December 16 performance of The Glorious Ones has excited the performance after he was hit in the eye during a scene with co-star Natalie Venetia Belcon. Kudisch was Tony nominee for his work in “Thoroughly Modern Millie” and “Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.” In the Glorious Ones he plays a member of a family of 16th century Italian troupers, although at this point he return to the show will most likely not occur before the December 21 weekend. Kudisch was quoted as saying in response to his scratched cornea, “The doctor is now saying I should be able to return to work next week. A bit of a shocker. I of course want to get back sooner, but the eye is a delicate thing. I don’t think I would be back in before the weekend.”

According to press notes, “The Glorious Ones” is the “backstage story about the lives, loves merriment and manipulations of a troupe of bawdy, witty improvising street performers. It tells how the troupe came to be, in all its ragged, colorful glory and how it captured the public’s adoration for so long before losing the spotlight.” It has received rave reviews from both critics and theatre-going patrons alike.
