Odds & Ends: Matt Doyle's Superhero Web Series, Patti LuPone's New Sondheim Gig & More

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

Matt Doyle & Beth Behrs Make a Dent
Matt Doyle and his childhood bestie Beth Behrs will launch Dents, a digital comic web series, beginning in March. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the series follows 14-year-old Eleanor, who discovers she has a twin, was born with superhuman powers and becomes a part of an underground society for likeminded super-teens. This marks the first major writing credit for both; Behrs is most known for the series 2 Broke Girls, and Doyle, who last appeared on Broadway in The Book of Mormon, has ample superhero experience as a comic book enthusiast himself and the star of Brooklynite off-Broadway last year. While you wait for Dents on Webtoon, check out Doyle’s new music video for “Moments” below!

A whole bunch of stars are lined up for a host of galas. Patti LuPone will take part in Clasic Stage Company’s The Ladies Who Sing Sondheim benefit, joining Victoria Clark, Cynthia Erivo, Joaquina Kalukango, Judy Kuhn, Marin Mazzie and Alexandra Silber for a night of performances from the canon of—you guessed it—Stephen Sondheim. The event, hosted and directed by John Doyle, will take place at Alice Tully Hall on March 14. On that same day, stage faves and real-life couple Michael Urie and Ryan Spahn will host the Vineyard Theatre’s annual gala honoring Kathleen Chalfant and publicist Sam Rudy.
