Meryl Streep Is the Jay-Z of the Woods, Michael C. Hall Has a Glittery Dog & More Lessons of the Week
Guess what, guys? It’s finally Friday, the best day of the week! To celebrate, we’re bringing you a recap of the craziest stuff that happened this week. We learned some very important lessons from Meryl Streep, Hugh Jackman and Aaron Tveit, just to name a few. Ready? Let’s go!
Meryl Streep Is Doing It Live
Nope, Into the Woods star Meryl Streep is no Ashlee Simpson or Lindsay Lohan. Lip-synching? No way. Pre-recorded tracks? That's for losers. She’s singing the “Witch’s Rap” portion of the Prologue live (a la the Les Miz movie) in the forthcoming film, just like Jay-Z or Dr. Dre. Live, live and nothing but live!
You're Gonna Hear Jeremy Shamos Roar
When we asked stars which song they're embarrassed to love, Jeremy Shamos went a step further and sang (and sang) his favorite Katy Perry tune. "I love our relationship," he later tweeted us. "I humiliate myself for you and it just makes me love you more. #useme #codependant #seeyousoon." Aww, Jeremy, the feeling is mutual! Now sing "Firework."
Go to the Bathroom, Meet a Vlogger
Where do all the cool Broadway.com vloggers hang out? Apparently in the women’s bathroom. Looks Not Books’ Lesli Margherita and Taxicab Confessions’ Alysha Umphress had a ladies’ room rendezvous this week, and it was glorious. We’d love to have been a fly on that paper towel dispenser.
Aaron Tveit Looks Great With a Beard
Is there anything Aaron Tveit can’t do? (Before you think too hard about that one, the answer is “no.”) The new Assassins star has picked up some chin scruff in London, and we have to say it’s very becoming on him. Not as becoming as this tangerine short suit, but it’s close.
Tony Danza Loves Broadway.com Swag
When he stopped by Broadway.com HQ, we gave Honeymoon in Vegas headliner Tony Danza a coveted (just ask Aladdin star Courtney Reed) Broadway.com T-shirt. We figured he’d throw it in the back of his closet with his old Who’s the Boss? memorabilia, but we were wrong! You’re the man, Tony.
Kristin Chenoweth Is Very, Very 人気のある
Wait, Tony winner Kristin Chenoweth knows Japanese? She showed off her skills in her new concert "Coming Home," whipping out a verse of Popular in Japanese. Good job, Kristin! Now we'd like to request our favorite Japanese tune, “Domo Arigato Mr. Roboto.”
Michael C. Hall Has a Sticky Trick
Hedwig star Michael C. Hall is enjoying playing a transgender rock goddess and everything, but there’s one small problem: The glitter. He’s got glitter in his house, on his sheets and on his dog. Luckily, he found a secret weapon to eliminate it: Scotch tape! Who knew Office Depot was such a mecca for drag diva supplies?
Zosia Mamet Is Getting a Wicked Mama
Girls star Zosia Mamet always assumed her character Shoshana came out of a peapod or a seashell, but her mom is actually...drumroll please...SNL and Wicked alum Ana Gasteyer! We wonder if they’ll sing “I Dreamed a Dream” like Lea Michele and her Wicked mom.
Tony Yazbeck Loves His PJs
Here’s something we didn’t know about On the Town star Tony Yazbeck: He acts like a totally grumpy bear in the morning and spends a lot of his downtime hanging out in his PJs. Yay, pajama party at Yazbeck’s house! Finally, an excuse to wear this.
Clay Aiken Is Second to None
American Idol-runner-up-turned-Broadway-alum-turned-politician Clay Aiken didn’t do so great at the polls this week, and sadly lost the North Carolina 2nd congressional district election. Oh, Clay. If you need us, we’ll be listening to his gospel cover of “Bridge Over Troubled Water” and sobbing.
