Fox’s planned live broadcast of the Broadway musical Rent instead aired previously recorded dress rehearsal footage, after one of its stars sustained an ankle injury.
The actor was taken to a local hospital following the rehearsal and confirmed on Instagram that he had broken his foot.
The role of Roger in Rent saw Hunt not only dance, but frequently have to rush up and down the set’s maze of staircases.
Brennin Hunt, who plays the central role of Roger, injured his right foot during one of the show’s dress rehearsals, the day before Fox’s three-hour broadcast on Sunday, 27 January.
