Odds & Ends: Alex Sharp & Francesca Faridany Reunite, Eva Noblezada & the Saigon Ladies 'Let It Go' & More

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

Sharp & Faridany Reunite
Tony winner Alex Sharp and Francesca Faridany have joined forces once again! The former stars of Broadway's The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time are raising funds for Janet Mino, "a rock star special-ed teacher" they know in Newark, N.J. Mino's dream is to create a center where young adults on the autism spectrum can continue their growth and education after high school. Check out the inspirational video Sharp and Faridany have made for the project below (and keep your eye out for some shoutouts from a few of your Broadway faves).



Kiki and Herb Are Back!
After retiring their joint act in 2007, Justin Vivian Bond and Kenny Mellman, AKA the legendary Kiki and Herb, are returning to the Big Apple's cabaret scene. Their new collaboration, Seeking Asylum!, will play at Joe’s Pub from April 21, 2016 to May 6. We look forward to welcoming the fictional—and thoroughly naughty— lounge singers back center stage!

Judi Dench & Ian McKellen Team Up
Turning our attention to a slightly less mischievous pair (but only just). Stage and screen legends Dame Judi Dench and Sir Ian McKellen will host this year’s London Evening Standard Awards. The event is scheduled to take place on November 22 at the Old Vic theatre; the Awards shortlist will be announced in early November.

Eva Noblezada & the Saigon Ladies 'Let It Go'
We know, we know, you'd only just managed to get that song and those frozen fractals out of your heads. However, this fun multi-lingual live performance of "Let it Go" from Eva Noblezada and the multi-talented ladies from the West End company of Miss Saigon is worth a watch. Promise. Check it out below.
