Odds & Ends: Sharknado Circles Great White Way, Owen Wilson & Jennifer Aniston's Broadway Comedy & More

Here's a quick roundup of stories you may have missed today and over the weekend.

Sharknado Circles Broadway
Could a stage adaptation of cult TV disaster film Sharknado take a big bite out of Broadway? Its screenwriter Thunder Levin certainly hopes so. “I think it would be hilarious to do Sharknado: The Musical," he told the New York Daily News. "They could get some Broadway musical guys to write the songs and the music, but you’ve got to let me write the script. We could call it Sharknado: The Great White Way.” While you wait for some "Broadway musical guys" to get their teeth into the project, you can look forward to watching Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No!, which premieres on the Syfy channel on July 22. Or something.

Clyde Alves' Shore Leave
Clyde Alves is heading to Birdland! The On the Town star will perform an evening of original music on July 20 at the Big Apple hotspot. Joined by fellow Broadway performers Robyn Hurder and Rebecca Riker, expect a mix of folk, rock, soul and reggae sounds.

Michelle Obama's Theatrical Weekend
First Lady Michelle Obama has had a very Broadway-centric few days! There was the invite to the White House for the cast of Aladdin, and then she herself visited the Tony-winning productions of The King and I and Kinky Boots. Check out the thank you note the First Lady penned to the latter's cast below!
