Catherine Zeta Jones & Angela Lansbury Mix & Mingle

Share




A special meet-and-greet was held today, which united Tony-Award-winning Broadway veteran, Angela Lansbury, and Chicago star, Catherine Zeta-Jones, as well as the cast of Trevor Nunn's production of A Little Night Music.

The lovely ladies posed for press and chatted with press to promote the revival of the Stephen Sondheim's and Hugh Wheeler's play, based on the Ingmar Bergman movie, Smiles of a Summer Night.

An official opening kicks off December 13, with performances starting November 24. Meanwhile, I'm loving Catherine's look, the sleek black dress with the sexy red accents.

Katie Holmes Up For Cocktail: The Musical

Share



Ha!  I just can't with this one.

The New York Post reports that super-80's Tom Cruise vehicle Cocktail is currently being adapted into a Broadway musical by Heywood Gould, who wrote the original book and film (and owner of the hottest name I've ever heard).

Heywood (seriously, my kid will have this name) says that it's too early to talk about casting, but he's got his eye on Katie Holmes.  Double ha!

Truth be told, Cocktail, which just celebrated it's 20th anniversary (feel old yet?), was never a hit with me.  Does anyone else find it absurdly bad?  I guess this weepy Stepford wife would fit right in.  Maybe Suri could be her stylist for the show?

Here's Katie and the fam looking as though they are rushing to start their day.  Tom looks like he hasn't even finished his fancy breakfast souffle!  He's going to need it.  Fancy breakfast souffle: the best way to start the day.  I'll take my check now.

Sienna Miller's Legs Get Rave Broadway Reviews

Share




British import, Sienna Miller, has been receiving praise for her turn in After Miss Julie on the Broadway stage. But it wasn't her acting skills that earned her highest compliments.

New York Times critic Ben Brantley limits his praise to the Factory Girl star's "good diction, good posture and great legs. Commendable as these attributes are, they are of limited use..."

In addition, an Associated Press review describes Miller's "trim figure wrapped in a pert floral print dress that shows off her great legs." To be fair, John Simon of Bloomberg News says Sienna is "convincing enough in the title role, managing superciliousness and condescension, lust and humiliation, with unassailable proficiency."

I'm sure that as long as no one is dying in the front row, Sienna's a happy camper.

Scarlett Johansson Confesses Stage Fright

Share




Movie star, Scarlett Johansson, has admitted that although she harbors dreams of taking to the stage in Broadway, she's holding back as a result of crippling stage fright.

The curvaceous actress confesses to Glamour magazine, "I would love to work on Broadway, but I don't know that it would manifest itself in musical theater...I have terrible stage fright that I'd have to get over."

Oddly enough, as a child, Johansson took to to the stage in the early stages of her career but as ScarJo explains, "It came on when I was a teenager, and I think it somehow sticks with you." Maybe she should take a swig of liquid courage there.

Sienna Miller Thought Epileptic Dog Was Dying Old Person

Share




More confounding than Sienna Miller's outfit she wore to her appearance on David Letterman's talk show, was her recent declaration that she confused a dog with an old person.

To her credit, the actress was on stage at the time and struggling to stay in character while on the Broadway stage in her play, After Miss Julie, when the incident took place.

As Sienna explained to Letterman during her interview, "There was what I thought was a human being in the front row on the floor convulsing. I missed the announcement that it was a seeing-eye dog."

The animal was experiencing an epileptic fit and eventually stopped moving, much to Sienna's terror. "Then it went to sleep and I thought it had passed on. It was an older audience, after all. I was freaked out but stayed in character." Few things are more disconcerting than having an audience member croak on you.

Jude Law's 'Hamlet' Comes To Broadway

Share




After getting rave reviews for his portrayal of Hamlet, Jude Law has officially arrived on Broadway with the Donmar Warehouse production. The show will run through December 6 at the Broadhurst Theater in New York.

For the opening of the play, such celebrities showed up to see Jude soliloquize on stage as Barbara Walters, Ed Westwick, Natalie Portman and True Blood star, Rutina Wesley.

In addition, it seems there were more than a few young women in the audience, hoping to catch a glimpse of their favorite movie star performing live, assuredly hoping to toss some bra and panties onto the stage to show their appreciation for the fine arts.

Hugh Jackman Breaks From Broadway To Play Dad

Share




No matter how much success he has at the box office for the movies or theater, actor Hugh Jackman's favorite role is clearly that of father.

The X-Men star frolics with his adopted children, Oscar Maximillian and Ava Eliot Jackman in New York City, while Hugh is in town for his engagement at the Schoenfeld Theare on Broadway in A Steady Rain.

The threesome played in the park, enjoyed a tickle fight and rode around on scooters. All in all, it looks it was a very good day.

'A Steady Rain' Creates A Downpour Of Ticket Sales

Share




The magical combination of Hugh Jackman and Daniel Craig on the Broadway stage resulted in record-breaking ticket sales for their production of A Steady Rain.

In the play, both action movie veterans star as Chicago cops, each telling their version of a life-altering event that they both experienced.

The muscular twosome managed to snag the record of the highest weekly ticket sales of a non-musical play by earning slightly less than $1.17 million for the week ending September 20. The show will continue to run until December 6, so get it while you can.

Hugh Jackman & Daniel Craig Light Up Broadway

Share




Hugh Jackman and Daniel Craig were the hottest Broadway couple last night at the preview of their new play A Steady Rain. The play follows our favorite Brit and Australian as two Chicago police officers who are torn apart by a mishandled investigation.

The New York Daily News says that everyone seems to have enjoyed the preview last night, as there were roaring cheers at the beginning and the end. Now, whether or not that has to do with the quality of the play or the hotness of the actors has yet to be determined. Mary Hines, a New York marketing executive says of the show, "They were great, but we could have done with more nudity. I mainly came to see Daniel but, with Hugh as his co-star it's a two-for-one." Oh Mary.

Hugh was ever the wonderful actor at the stage door as he made sure to take time and sign autographs and take pictures with fans. No pictures of Daniel from last night though. I guess his security didn't think it was safe.

But here comes the very important question: Hugh Jackman or Daniel Craig? Wolverine or James Bond? Brunette or Blonde? Right now Daniel's got that handlebar stache so this woman is probably right, "I prefer Hugh. They're both gorgeous, but he has the edge."

Anyone who is in New York please go see this show and tape it for me. I will pay you. In love. Those who got a chance to see Hugh's last turn on Broadway in The Boy From Oz, or watched him host the Oscars know that he is quite the performer. Don't rule Daniel out though. It may be his first turn on Broadway, but he's already a big theater guy in England.

Now you must answer the very important question. Who do you prefer? Hugh or Daniel? Let us know in the comments!
