- Steven Soderbergh continues to pretend that a Magic Mike Broadway musical is a real thing that will really happen, and othat Channing Tatum will appear in it. Until we’re holding tickets in our hands and have fistfuls of dollar bills at the ready, we remain hopeful (or something…) but skeptical.
- A Cats revival is so much more than that fucked up dream you had the other night after eating too much pepperoni pizza…
- Patrick Page — Green Goblin for the ages, general class act, and Mr. Paige Davis-Page — is peacing out of Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark. Why? He has a new gig. He’ll play another mustache-twirling bad guy in Cyrano de Bergerac in October. Well, we hope he has a mustache.
- Rent will close at New World Stages on September 9 because it was kind of bad and not enough people wanted to see it.
