The off-Broadway show was slated to run at the New York City Center in the heart of Manhattan from February 5 through February 16, 2025.

Killam’s exit from the production comes just over a week since he and his wife Colbie Smulders, 42, lost their $5.6 million residence in the Palisades Fire.

As DailyMail.com previous reported, the fire started on the side of the house and within minutes engulfed the entire property, despite efforts from fire fighters to contain the blaze. 

The home boasted an impressive five bedrooms and six bathrooms.

In a 2018 interview with Architectural Digest, Smulders revealed that solar panels were her biggest splurge for the house, noting that she added in a 40-year-old pH๏τo booth.

Despite having lost their home, the couple — who share two daughters Shaelyn, 15, and Janita, 10 — are proactive in sharing resources via social media for other Angelenos who have fallen victim to the tragic events.

Smulders penned via Instagram Story: ‘@savethechildren and @projectcampla are doing amazing work to support children and families who have been affected by the CA wildfires.
