Union rules! At least it was in the last edition of the rulebook I have...

makes sense.

The surface of the stage has to be re-gritted every year. It’s safety critical, but takes a beating with dancers up there 5 shows a day.

That's what can happen when you rush back before you're fully ready. Hopefully he completes his stint in rehab this time and is good to go for many years to come afterwards.

Last summer. Very sad to see a second stint of rehab for Mickey so soon. Never fully recover, I suppose.

I seem to remember they recently did a significant renovation of the stage not to long ago?
