Here's a quick roundup of stories you may have missed today.

Andy Mientus is Back in Les Miz
Our hearts are full of love at this news. Andy Mientus returns to his starring role of Marius in Les Miz on November 19. The Broadway.com Audience Choice Award winner had been on hiatus while he filmed his two-episode arc on The Flash. Understudies Chris McCarrell and Matt Rosell had been stepping in, in his absence. Welcome back, Andy!

Own a Piece of Hairy Hedwig History
Hedwig fan? You can own Neil Patrick Harris’ original Miss Beehive 1963 wig that was used in the first portion of his Tony-winning run as the internationally ignored song stylist. Designed by Mike Potter and styled by legendary N.Y. drag queen Perfidia, the wig is being auctioned off to benefit New York Stage and Film.

Whatever the case, Erin Davie and Emily Padgett are the real deal who sing the tuner live eight shows a week at the St. James Theatre, and we love them as they are.
