Dancing With the Stars pro Adele Zaikman said she is feeling unwell and will miss the show’s Disney Night opening number, though she plans to return for the finale with her former partner, Conner Leavitt. The episode, moved to Monday because of ABC’s midterm-election coverage, features team dances and special guest judge Cynthia Erivo, with additional Broadway and Disney performers expected to appear.

The Monday slot for elections is practical but I liked having the full week to watch before results come in.
