Odds & Ends: Steven Pasquale & Phillipa Soo Get Engaged, General Elmo Invades Hamilton & More

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

Steven Pasquale & Phillipa Soo Get Engaged
The "Best of Wives and Best of Women!" Steven Pasquale (The Robber Bridegroom) has stolen Phillipa Soo's (Hamilton) heart. Just before she wowed the world on the Grammys, the actress wrote on her Instagram: "We're engaged! In love with this man. I will enjoy spicy noodle soup with him for the rest of my days." Pasquale in turn said (sic): "Oh just some spicy Chinese noodles with my bride to be. Workin down the st from each other. #bestcityintheworld." Congratulations to the happy couple from everyone here at Broadway.com!

Tara Fitzgerald to Play Lady Macbeth
Something wicked this way comes! Stage and screen star Tara Fitzgerald (Selyse Baratheon in HBO’s Game of Thrones) is set to appear as Lady Macbeth opposite Ray Fearon (the upcoming Beauty and the Beast) in the eponymous role. Iqbal Khan’s take on the Shakespeare classic will run at Shakespeare’s Globe in London from June 18. Time to look into our air miles (again)...

Perfect Crime's Warren Manzi Dead at 60
Playwright Warren Manzi died on February 11 in Lawrence, Massachusetts, aged 60. The New York Times reports that the cause of death was pneumonia. He was perhaps best known for his off-Broadway whodunit Perfect Crime, which is the longest-running play in Big Apple theater history at almost 29 years and counting. The show is playing at the Theater Center in the Anne L. Bernstein Theater.

General Elmo Invades Hamilton
General Elmo stopped by the Presidents' weekend #Ham4Ham show to interrupt sing-along with General Washington's "The Story Of Tonight." Christopher Jackson kept his cool. But of course he did!
