Patti LaBelle is likely to replace Lillias White for a short while in FELA! on Broadway, while Lillias is away. Which leads us to ask, Gichie, Gichie, ya ya, yeah yeah?

Daniel Radcliffe is set to star in the second revival of How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying. Radcliffe is not new to the NYC stage. Let’s just hope that this time succeeding in business does not involve blinding horses in the nude.

Open casting will take place for Puppetry of the Penis on July 27th. Actors are asked to come prepared with “genital arts” such as the hamburger, wristwatch, and lockness monster. We miss the days when your headshot, resume, and 16 bars were all you needed to get the part.

More superstars have been cast or rumored to appear in upcoming plays including Oscar Winner Halle Berry, Oscar Nominees Samuel L. Jackson and Will Smith, and Jada Pinkett Smith. Hunter Foster is gonna be pissed.

A Little Night Music will be closing its doors after June 20th and therefore, won’t be recasting its lead women. It’s too bad.  We were having so much fun at surmising the possibilities. We know we were rooting for Betty White as Madame Armfeldt.

The Drama League and Drama Desk honored very different performances this year. We all know what this is leading up to, a massive battle of who will win the coveted MTV Movie Award (Best Kiss) this year?

Rumors were confirmed that Sutton Foster would appear as the new Reno Sweeney in an upcoming revival of Anything Goes, following in the footsteps of Ethel Merman and Patti Lupone. To which we wonder if soon Foster will soon be venting, half of America loves me, and half hates me.

Beyonce, Jay-Z, and Will and Jada Pinkett Smith attended an after party thrown by 11-time Tony Nominee FELA! at the Palm last week. To which, Memphis replied, we got the guy from…Bon Jovi.

The guest appearances on Glee grew even more Broadway-ier with Neil Patrick Harris singing Aerosmith’s Dream On with Matthew Morrison. We really can’t wait to hear Boyd Gaines and Jonathan Groff’s duet of Love in an Elevator.

Finally, Pee Wee Herman comes to Broadway. Nah, too easy.

In the meantime, here are three recent videos that we really like:

Katie Finneran and Sean Hayes in Promises Promises

Sahr Ngaujah in FELA!

La Cage Aux Folles – Sneak Peak

It’s been a crazy week for the Broadway community since the Tony nominations were announced. While we are super excited about the June 13th ceremony (Watch on CBS at 8pm Eastern Standard Time), there are so many other thrilling occasions that you may have missed out on. Here are several events that have occurred since the Antoinette Perry Awards nominations.

Sondheim on Sondheim had to cancel a matinee due to lack of a 2nd understudy. Vanessa Williams and Erin Mackey were reported as both being ill, but we hear that they were both secretly out at another 80th Birthday Party for Stephen Sondheim.

Judith Light joins Dan Luria in the fall production of Lombardi at Circle in the Square. In other news, Fred Savage and Alyssa Milano are slated to appear in the revival of “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf” at the Lyceum.

Off-Broadway production The Irish Curse, “a new comedy about guys with one tiny problem” closes its doors on May 1st. Did anyone else predict a “short” run?

Betty White successfully hosted SNL based on a Facebook campaign. Recently several more campaigns have sprung up including ones for Oprah and Rue McClannahan. Where is the Angela Lansbury love people?

Million Dollar Quartet performed on Late Night with David Letterman. Regarding their performance, Letterman proclaimed, “If it’s not great, I’m gonna eat my tie.” To which we wonder, what would Conan eat if they weren’t good?

While the Volcanic Ash has grounded thousands of flights, there are so many people stranded outside of New York City that couldn’t make it into town to see a Broadway show. Similarly, there are many visitors of New York City unable to get back home. For those of you “stuck” in NY (as though, there was such a thing), go see a Broadway show. If you are waiting patiently at the airport or in the city waiting to hear about possible flights, here are a few options to get you in the Broadway spirit and keep your hopes high!

10. Listen to the new soundtrack of A Little Night Music on your computer at the airport.
9. Do your favorite Come Fly Away dance in World Wide Plaza!
8. Download the Finian’s Rainbow soundtrack on iTunes, and think happy lucky thoughts.
7. Put on your favorite Rock of Ages YouTube video! We recommend the Anniversary Video.
6. Enjoy the new Avenue Q Slice at Two Boots Pizza at their Hell’s Kitchen Location on 9th Avenue and 44th Street
7. Sing Happy Birthday to Stephen Sondheim. Did you know he just turned 80?
4. Rent Chicago on DVD, or even better yet, rent Cabaret.
3. Go to the new Housing Works on 9th Avenue and 50th Street and try on some amazing dresses to get in the spirit of La Cage Aux Folles’ Cagettes
