Idina Menzel Is Basically Kevin Bacon, Ramin Karimloo Has a Secret Admirer & More Lessons of the Week

Stop prancing around your apartment listening to “Pinot Noir”—it’s time for the Lessons of the Week, where we hash out the weirdest things we’ve learned. We now know which leading man will take off his clothes for a cookie, which new star spent her early days chilling with Blanche, Dorothy, Sophia and Rose, and which Broadway vet is a real space cadet. Ready? Let’s do this!

You’re Six Degrees From Idina Menzel
You. Yes, you. If/Then star James Snyder made a handy video to help you figure out how we’re connected to every member of the musical’s cast, including the Frozen and Wicked favorite herself. Yes, we assume that means you can crash on Idina's couch when you’re in town.

Titus Andromedon’s Crushing on Ramin
Tituss Burgess insists he’s nothing like his Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt alter ego Titus Andromedon, but both dudes have had an amazing week. Tituss can’t go to the 99-cent store without being recognized, while Titus is trying to set up a pinot noir date with his Broadway crush, Les Miz star Ramin Karimloo. Get in line, Andromedon.

Christine Dwyer Drinks Frog Water
Wicked leading lady Christine Dwyer is really serious about this green thing—before the show, she drinks a leafy, swamp-like concoction that can only be described as “an ecosystem.” Hmm, it looks suspiciously like the habitat where Kara Lindsay keeps her new frogs. Hey, Kermit said it best.

Douglas Sills Will Strip For Rugelach
Some Broadway stars will get naked at the drop of a hat (case in point: here, here and here), but Living on Love star Douglas Sills’ nudity comes at a price. If you provide the rugelach, he’ll drop trou. Hmm, we wonder if this works on other Broadway stars, too. Titus Andromedon, you wanna go to the Imperial Theatre and conduct an experiment?

Sierra Boggess Has a Great Serve
It’s no secret that It Shoulda Been You headliner and Broadway.com vlogger Sierra Boggess is multitalented—she’s got a beautiful voice, she can vinyasa like a boss and she has the most gorgeous red hair we’ve ever seen. But you really haven’t lived until you’ve seen her volleyball serve. Sierra: 1, Us: 0.

Kelsey Grammer Is Six Years Old
If we had to guess, we’d say Finding Neverland star Kelsey Grammer is about 60 (OK, fine, we checked his Wikipedia page). But the Frasier favorite insists he’s actually six years old—or at least that’s what he tells his kids. Sorry, Kelsey, you’re still not getting an invite to the ball pit.

Jessica Keenan Wynn’s a Pal & Confidante
The Heathers meanie is now playing Carole King’s bestie in Beautiful, but we had no idea she’s also BFFs with four gray-haired gals in Miami. Wynn made her professional debut as an infant on an episode of Golden Girls. This is the coolest obscure credit since Patti LuPone’s laundromat musical! YouTube video or it didn’t happen.

Sarah Brightman Has a Space Playlist
In this week’s space cadet news, The Phantom of the Opera star Sarah Brightman is still preparing to blast off. Mascara? Check. Hairspray? Check. Original song written by Andrew Lloyd Webber? Check. Yep, she’s officially ready. But wait, if this spaceship breaks the sound barrier, how will we get to hear the high E?

Sutton Foster Wanted to Be a Princess
How do you get a job in publishing? According to Sutton Foster’s new series Younger, you pretend you’re 26 and hope no one figures out you’re a liar. But if Foster could go back to her twenties, she admits she’d love to play Belle in Beauty and the Beast. It’s not too late, Sutton! Forty-year-olds can be Disney princesses, too.

Audra McDonald’s Going For Tony #7
'Night, Mother with Oprah may be off the table, but Audra McDonald has already lined up her new Broadway gig in Shuffle Along, which is slated to begin performances March 16, 2016 at the Music Box Theatre. Quoth every other actress starring in a show in 2016: “Dammit.”
