Josh Gad was forced to pull out of his weekend Broadway performance due to a medical emergency. The Frozen actor addressed his health situation to his Instagram followers in the backseat of a vehicle, saying, "Hey guys, I just wanted to give you a quick message. Unfortunately, I am going to not be able to do this afternoon’s show. I have a bit of a medical emergency that I have to go deal with right now. I would rather be spending my afternoon with all of you than at a hospital, but I hope that this gets resolved pretty quickly and I’ll be back on stage with my buddy Andrew Rannells as soon as possible.”
Hours later, Josh gave his fans a positive update when he returned to the stage. He wrote on Instagram, “GOOD NEWS. Thanks to the phenomenal team at Lenox Hill, I was able to be diagnosed and treated in record time for some lower abdominal issues I’ve been having. With their blessing, I will be back in the show this evening. Thank you all for your incredible messages and good vibes. Felt them and got the best possible results! Now, let’s get back to eating dreams!”
Josh wowed fans with his performance as the hilarious sidekick Olaf created by Elsa and Anna in their childhood in the 2013 animation Frozen. The movie swiftly became a multi-million-selling franchise, with the first film grossing more than $1.2 billion at the global box office and the 2019 sequel proving even more successful, raking in $1.450 billion.
Josh previously revealed that the project got off to a rocky start. He explained on an episode of PeopleTV’s Couch Surfing, “I’ll never forget, six or seven months prior to the movie coming out, I was with Bobby Lopez and I said, “How’s the movie coming?” and he goes, “Well, we just screened the movie and it’s a mess.”
Fortunately, it all worked out in the end, and Josh was able to get back to his Broadway show. His fans are certainly glad to hear that he's doing better and that he was able to get back to the stage - proving that it's possible to overcome any medical emergency with the right team and the power of positive vibes.
