Theater Review: ‘Macbeth’

The TV Guide
Posted by: Trent on April 26, 2013| 2 Comments

My Thursday here in NYC was another glorious one for me and my friends … the weather? Amazing! We had an absolute blast yesterday. The early part of the day was spent walking around the city, the latter part of the day was spent on Broadway again. I always try to see at least a couple of shows when I come to NYC and last night was show #2. Tamar and I met up with Ashley and Steve at the Barrymore Theater to see Alan Cumming perform a one-man show production of William Shakespeare‘s Macbeth. I mean … the show was phenomenal! I’ve seen many amazing productions of Macbeth but this one is probably the best of the bunch … it is absolutely the most impressive version of the play I’ve ever seen. It was just … wow. More »

My day in NYC yesterday was about as perfect as it could be. The temperature soared into the 70s, I got to hang out all day with amazing friends and I got to see a fantastic Broadway show last night. Just, perfect. The day was spent walking around SoHo, snacking and shopping along the way. My evening was spent at the Al Hirschfeld Theater where I saw Kinky Boots. The night was spent dranking, roaming the streets of NYC and crashing in bed with pizza. ‘Twas a fine day, indeed. More »

Remember back in 2010 when we heard about plans for a sequel film to the amazingly terrible cult 1995 film Showgirls? Yeah, well, nothing really came of those plans but today I am very excited to reveal that the original film has been adapted into an off-Broadway musical! Showgirls! The Musical! opened just last week and as you can see below, it does its best to bring the Showgirls story to the theatrical stage. The trailer looks CHEESY as HELL but I am kinda in love with it entirely. Click below to learn more about this show, check out the trailer and marvel … Nomi Malone lives again, y’all!! More »

‘Mean Girls: The Musical’ Is Officially, Definitely Happening

And Yes, There Will Be A 'Fetch' Song!
Posted by: Shannon on March 8, 2013| 5 Comments

Back in January Trent completely (and rightfully) lost it when he found out that Tina Fey was talking about creating a Broadway musical out of the hit movie Mean Girls. Tina wrote the original screenplay and said that she was working on developing the musical with her husband, Jeff Richmond, who did all the music on 30 Rock. Well, Mr. Fey Jeff is speaking out and the musical is definitely going down. Breathe, Trent, breathe/Don’t breathe! And click inside for more!

Tina Fey Says She Is Working On ‘Mean Girls: The Musical’

OMG PLEASE LET THIS HAPPEN FOR REAL!!!!!
Posted by: Trent on January 28, 2013| 11 Comments

Tina Fey set hearts a-flutter on the red carpe of the 2013 Screen Actors Guild Awards last night when she confirmed that she is adapting a Broadway stage musical version of the screenplay she penned for the ICONIC film Mean Girls. YES FOLKS, THIS IS REAL LIFE!!! Honestly, there have been rumors that Fey was secretly working on a Mean Girls musical but I don’t recall that she’s ever talked about it publicly (probably because no one thought to ask her about it). Last night, she was asked … and she answered … and the heavens erupted with majestic celebration as angels sang on high heralding a joy previously unknown to man … or something like that ;D More »

Scarlett Johansson Dons Dolce & Gabbana For Her Broadway Opening Night After-Party

All-Black For ‘Cat On A Hot Tin Roof’

View the Gallery / 7 Photos »

Scarlett Johansson‘s latest Broadway sting may be getting mixed reviews, but lots of folks are loving the look she rocked to her Cat On A Hot Tin Roof opening night after-party. ScarJo wore an all-black Dolce & Gabbana linen top with black fitted pants… and she looked pretty amazing. The fashion statement is deceptively simple, as the crochet details in the top, and the little bits of color via her lipstick and earrings brightened things up a bit. While I don’t love, love, love the make-up, I like that she looks really comfortable and still, effortlessly, sexy. Peep the gallery for more! What do you think of Scarlett in D&G?

Or A Nirvana Movie. Either Or.
Posted by: Shannon on October 26, 2012| 3 Comments

So. You know how you’ve always wondered what Nirvana‘s music would sound like on Broadway? Oh. Wait. You’ve never, ever in life wondered about what Nirvana‘s music would sounds like on Broadway. Okay, then we may have a problem here. Courtney Love, the ever-controversial widow of Kurt Cobain, has teamed up with the one and only Sam Lufti (AKA Britney Spears‘s former manager who’s also known for being shadier than, like, anyone) to bring us the Nirvana musical (or movie) we’ve not been waiting for. But something is in the works whether we like it or not. Click inside for deets!
