Carrie Coon Explains Mysterious ‘Bug’ Cancellations: Allergic Reaction To Fake Blood In Broadway Show

Carrie Coon in Broadway's 'Bug' Matthew Murphy Carrie Coon, the star of Broadway‘s Bug and wife of the thriller-play’s author, has revealed exactly what prompted the cancellations of two shows last week just before opening night: She had some sort of onstage allergic reaction to the fake stage blood used throughout the more violent scenes of the play. Appearing on Late Night With Seth Meyers last night, Coon told the talk host that the trouble started during the Wednesday, January 7, matinee performance during a scene in which Coon sprays fake blood up her nose to simulate a nose bleed from a violent encounter.

Key Highlights

  • Watch on Deadline “So we were doing the matinee,” Coon told Meyers, “and there’s a moment where I squirt fake blood into my nose, and as soon as the fake blood hit my throat, I started to cough, which, you know, is not unusual.
  • But then I realized that my throat was closing every 12 seconds.
  • I knew [costar and scene partner] Namir Smallwood is a marvelous actor – he was very calm in his body but his eyes were saying, What the heck is going on?
  • And I could feel it coming, so I was trying to talk around it, but every now and then it would happen.
  • My voice would go like this [she pronounces “this” in a pinched, high-pitched tone], and the audience couldn’t really tell yet.
