Sarah Jessica Parker was heartbroken on Friday after she was told by the doctor that she was too ill to perform on stage. The Sex and the City actress has been in Boston over the past few weeks along with her husband Matthew Broderick, as their show Plaza Suite has been showing at the Emerson Colonial Theatre in the city. Sarah shared a video on Instagram where she apologised to those who had bought a ticket for the show. The star panned in on her cup of tea from her bedside, and said behind the camera: "I just wanted to say to let everybody in Boston how sorry I am not to be doing the show tonight. My husband and I have been slammed like so many people in this country, he got really sick first and tried to do the show last night and couldn't, I couldn't do it tonight. The doctor said I couldn't. It's breaking my heart not to be there. To miss one, two shows is beyond devastating. Our time here in Boston has been so special. The gorgeous theatre, with the most loving audiences. I am trying to rally for tomorrow."
