Tyne Daly Hospitalized, Drops Out Of Broadway’s ‘Doubt’; Amy Ryan Steps In As Replacement

Tyne Daly was unexpectedly hospitalized on Friday and has withdrawn from her starring role in the Broadway revival of Doubt. She’ll be replaced by Amy Ryan.

The news was announced this afternoon by the Roundabout Theatre Company. No reason was given for Daly’s hospitalization, but the company said she is expected to make a full recovery.

“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,” the announcement states.

“With respect and admiration for Tyne, we wish her the best and a quick recovery,” said director Scott Ellis. “We are grateful that Amy Ryan said yes – in a quick minute – to join our company and take on the role of ‘Sister Aloysius.’ We deeply appreciate Isabel Keating, who remarkably stepped in with a day of rehearsal and allowed us to get the production up on its feet during this first week of performances.”

Ryan will step into the role of Sister Aloysius in the revival of the John Patrick Shanley play. Liev Schreiber co-stars as “Father Flynn,” Quincy Tyler Bernstine as “Mrs. Muller,” and Zoe Kazan as “Sister James.”

Ryan’s first performance in will be Tuesday, February 13. For performances through Sunday, February 11, the role will be played by understudy Keating.

Opening night is Thursday, March 7, and the limited engagement runs through Sunday, April 14 at the Todd Haimes Theatre.

Deadline has reached out to Roundabout for additional details.
