The award-winning star sustained a hit on her head after being hit with a piece of lighting equipment -- which collapsed from a large gust of wind on the Brooklyn set of the show in early July.
Paramedics responded to a 911 call and treated her on set with a neck brace. The Broadway star was put on a stretcher and taken to a nearby hospital.
