BREAKING at the Frankenstein Place: Broadway's ROCKY HORROR SHOW is running a full villain-era cast swap at Studio 54.

From Aug 25, Lorna Courtney (& Juliet) is your new Janet and — everyone please sit down — Kevin McHale, aka Artie from Glee, is your new Brad. Then from Sept 11, Scissor Sisters frontman Jake Shears slinks in as Frank-N-Furter, taking over from Tony nominee Luke Evans. Sam Pinkleton (Oh, Mary!) directs. Nine Tony noms. I have simply combusted.

A Glee kid doing the Time Warp eight shows a week is the kind of casting that should require a doctor's note. Anyway, I've already booked the aisle seat and packed my toast.

Who are you buying tickets for — Jake, Lorna, or Kevin? Wrong answers only. (via Playbill)

🎭 WEEKEND ROUNDUP, hot take edition: the standing ovation has officially lost all meaning. If we're all on our feet before the baton has even come DOWN, we've devalued the entire currency. A standO should be EARNED — an act-two key change, a belted high note, a set piece that makes you gasp — not handed out like a Playbill at the door.

Anyway I will absolutely still be first up, sobbing, both hands over my heart, because I have the spine of a wet Playbill. 🥲

Wrong answers only: what's the most "obligatory standing O" moment that does NOT deserve it? 👇 Fight me at the stage door.

POV: you peek through the curtain to count the house 20 minutes before places 🎭

Stage 1: "oh good, it's filling up"
Stage 2: "why is all of row F one single school group"
Stage 3: "…that's my ex. that's my ex in seat J12."
Stage 4: locking eyes with ONE audience member and deciding the entire show is now a private performance for him and him alone
Stage 5: he left at intermission

anyway. places please 🩰 we ride at 7:30.

tag the castmate who ALWAYS counts the house 👀

BREAKING: Aaron Tveit is coming BACK to Moulin Rouge! The Musical 😭 He'll reprise his Tony-winning Christian for 15 final performances (Aug 18–29) before the show closes for good at the Al Hirschfeld.

The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return… and to spend your entire rent check on a resale ticket. I have already scheduled my ugly-cry and my emotional-support Duane Reade run. Christian Douglas closes it out Aug 30 and NO, I am not okay about ANY of it.

Tag your ride-or-die for one last Spectacular Spectacular 👇

CAST THIS ROLE — wrong answers ONLY: 🎭

It's 2027. Someone with more money than sense is producing a splashy new revival, and YOU are the casting director spiraling at 2am with a legal pad and a dream.

The role: the glamorous menace who sweeps in for ONE showstopper in Act Two, detonates the plot, and then vanishes forever, leaving nothing behind but devastation and a key change.

Drop your dream casting below. Reasonable choices will be politely escorted out of the theater. I want chaos. I want a name that makes the producers gasp into their oat lattes.

POV: the house lights just dimmed, the overture kicked in, and suddenly I'm 12 years old and unwell again 🎭

reasons I was "running late" today:
1. traffic
2. overslept
3. had to fully run lines for a show that closed in 2019
4. got emotionally ambushed by "She Used to Be Mine" in the cereal aisle and needed a moment
5. character shoes betrayed me. AGAIN.

the curtain hasn't even gone up and I'm already going through it. tag your tech week emotional support person 🎭

BREAKING and I am not emotionally equipped: Eva Noblezada is playing her FINAL performances as Daisy in The Great Gatsby this week 🥀 her last show is July 26. Then Descendants' China Anne McClain takes over as Daisy on Aug 3, with Ryan McCartan back as Gatsby 💚

So we lose a legend AND gain a Disney icon in the same breath and my little theater-kid heart cannot cash that check. One green light. Two Daisies. Zero (0) chill. Anyway I'll be at the stage door weeping into a coupe glass.

HOT TAKE, and I will die on this orchestra pit: the OVERTURE is the best number in the show. 🔥

No lyrics. No choreo. Just strings, a sneaky key change, and the collective inhale of 1,400 people who paid $180 to cry on a Tuesday. You get goosebumps before a single word is sung. That's not a song — that's a SPELL. The house lights dim and suddenly I'm emotionally unwell in the best possible way.

Wrong answers only. Fight me in the comments.

Nothing humbles you quite like walking onstage, clocking a sold-out house, and realizing all 2,000 of them are about to watch you do the choreo you "definitely had down" at the last run. 🎭

Live theater is the only job where a room full of strangers watches you commit in real time and you just have to MEAN it. No take two. No undo. Just you, a hot light, and the sheer audacity to deliver your first line like you haven't rehearsed it 400 times in the shower.

Tag someone who would absolutely thrive (or perish) out there.

BREAKING (to me, emotionally): The Rocky Horror Show just hit its 100th performance on Broadway. 🎉

One hundred nights of fishnets, "Time Warp" choreo, and audiences yelling things that would get ME banned from a public library. Anyway I've already booked my tenth ticket and told my therapist it's "research."

Give yourself over to absolute pleasure, etc. 🕺 News via Playbill.

Tag your Frank-N-Furter. ⚡

BREAKING (well, I've been awake since the announcement, so): Ethan Slater and Betsy Wolfe have officially taken over as Seymour and Audrey in LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS Off-Broadway, first performance July 21. Anyway I've already emotionally moved to Skid Row and started paying rent I cannot afford.

They take over from Jordan Fisher and Nikki M. James, a hand-off so classy I need to sit down. Suddenly Downtown.

Stylized art because your intern can't afford press photo licensing, but the news is real, via Playbill / BroadwayWorld.

Would you sell your soul (or at least a really good B-flat) for these tickets? Tag your Audrey.

ANDREW BARTH FELDMAN IS PLAYING NERO. IN LONDON. I need everyone to sit down.

New musical from Steven Sater & Duncan Sheik (yes, the Spring Awakening people), directed by Lindsay Posner, at Southwark Playhouse Elephant, November 2 - December 5. It's his London debut. via BroadwayWorld

So to recap: the youngest person to ever play Evan Hansen is now playing a Roman emperor who allegedly fiddled while his entire city burned down. That is not a career trajectory. That is a dare.

I have already looked at flights. I have not looked at my bank account. We're keeping those two things in separate rooms.
