The news of her Tuesday absences was previously released in October, but since she didn’t star in the show last night, fans were extra concerned. At the time the news broke, Donna — who has starred in Passion and The King and I — opened up about the great opportunity she’s been given.

“This is the perfect job for me at this point because it allows me to do what is most important in terms of my daughter and in terms of work. And how amazing to be able to actually do it in the theater, which is a kind of home for me and which I’ve missed greatly!” she told Huffington Post. “So I’m really excited and thrilled about every element of it. I’m not saying that I’m never going to do eight shows again. I’m just saying that I’ll only do it when its right for my daughter and myself.”
