The hit Broadway musical “Company” called curtains before the first song of Friday night’s performance — over an apparent case of food poisoning. The sudden announcement sparked a small panic among the audience at the Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre after several productions were forced to close this week due to coronavirus outbreaks. “Immediately everyone thought they got a [positive] PCR test back… but they made it immediately clear it was not COVID,” said theatergoer Maddie Kevelson, an Upper West Side resident who works as a costume assistant. “I’m like, food poisoning? But it is what it is,” she told The Post. “There are no understudies in the city right now.” According to witnesses, a voice came on over the mic before the show’s opening song and said that there was a problem backstage and the crew was needed.
