Odds & Ends: Megan Hilty Starts Her Marilyn Campaign for Broadway's Bombshell & More

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

Don’t Forget Me(gan Hilty!)
In case you missed it, the Supreme Court has overturned the bans on same-sex marriage nationwide! In other gay news that we’re still celebrating, Bombshell is planning to come to Broadway! The question remains—who will play Marilyn? In a recent interview with Hollywood Life, Smash star and Great White Way fave Megan Hilty threw in her name: “I definitely would like to be involved with Bombshell. I’m hoping I’ll get an audition!” She has the fire and drive that make dreams come alive, so yes, we certainly hope she’s at the very least considered! However, were two seasons and a benefit concert not enough proof? After all, she did win a fake Tony for it. Your move, Craig and Neil.

Celia Keenan-Bolger Departs Spelling Bee Reunion
Momma, momma, momma! Three-time Tony nominee Celia Keenan-Bolger will not take part in the previously announced 10-year anniversary concert of The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, due to the demands of being a new mommy. Instead, Jenni Barber, who succeeded Keenan-Bolger as Olive Ostrovsky in the Broadway production, will assume the role at the July 6 event at Town Hall. We wish Celia all the best, and hope that she still sings “The I Love You Song” (at least the lighter parts) to little William Emmett Conlee.

Trevor Nunn to Direct Joely Richardson in Roses
Theater legend Trevor Nunn will add a few more notches to his Bard Belt with The Wars of the Roses.

Joely Richardson, who recently starred off-Broadway in The Belle of Amherst, will appear as Queen Margaret. Additional cast members include Robert Sheehan as Richard III and Käre Conradi as Edward IV. Performances will run September 16 through October 31 at the Rose Theatre Kingston.
