Odds & Ends: Hamilton's Three Kings Channel the Schuyler Sisters, David Bowie Addresses Lazarus Rumors & More
Here's a quick roundup of stories you may have missed today and over the weekend.
Hamilton's Three Kings
#Ham4Ham, the pre-show that takes place outside the gargantuan hit that is Hamilton, did not disappoint this weekend. All three King Georges appeared together—off-Broadway original Brian d’Arcy James, his replacement and Main Stem star Jonathan Groff, and Andrew Rannells, who will be stepping into the role on October 27 at the Richard Rodgers Theatre. Did they do "What Comes Next?" Hell no, they played the Schuyler sisters and oh did they werk it. Check out the trio, hosted by Renee Elise Goldsberry lip-synching Aaron Burr, below.
David Bowie Addresses Lazarus Rumors
Everybody's intrigued about what David Bowie has in store for us with the upcoming Lazarus, starring Michael C. Hall, Cristin Milioti and Michael Esper. However, we will be getting no hints when his new single "Blackstar" drops on November 20. Despite rumors to the contrary, according to the icon's official website, the track will not feature in the show at off-Broadway's New York Theatre Workshop.
Melissa Errico Heads to Joe's Pub
Tony nominee Melissa Errico (Amour) will return to Joe’s Pub in Sing The Silence on November 18 and November 19. The new, autobiographical cabaret show, co-written with Adam Gopnik, follows how one singer’s descent into 100 days of silence compelled her towards an inventory of a lifetime’s experience, on and off the stage. Expect to hear a sprinkling of the classic American songbook, along with the title song penned for Errico by Gopnik and Scott Frankel, and the New York debut of music by Fun Home’s Jeanine Tesori.

The company of First Daughter Suite is set to record a cast album on October 26. Penned by Michael John LaChiusa, the world premiere follows the inner lives and dreams of America's best-known daughters and features Caissie Levy, Betsy Morgan, Mary Testa and more. The album will drop later this season on Ghostlight Records, produced by Joel Moss, Kurt Deutsch and LaChiusa. First Daughter Suite continues to play off-Broadway at the Public Theater through November 15.
