Odds & Ends: Hamilton Bartenders 'Satisfied' by Amy Schumer's Tip, Jeff Daniels on 'Tough' Blackbird & More

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

Hamilton Bartenders 'Satisfied' by Amy Schumer's Tip
A few updates from Broadway's hottest show. Amy Schumer and friends stopped by the gargantuan hit that is Hamilton over the weekend and left the bartenders at the Richard Rodgers Theatre a gargantuan tip. A $1,000 tip on a $77 check, to be precise, the New York Daily News reports. We imagine that they were more than "Satisfied" with the Trainwreck star's generosity! Meanwhile, Javier Muñoz, who recently revealed he is recovering from cancer, took to social media to thank fans "for the outpouring of love and support...Every morning that my eyes open and there is air in my lungs and blood in my veins I have already won the day. The rest is icing; and I really love icing☺." Lin-Manuel Miranda's alternate also announced that he'll be teaming up with Hedwig's John Cameron Mitchell for a live podcast on March 23 at The Talkhouse.

Stage Faves Returning to American Horror Story?
Ryan Murphy would welcome back Broadway alums Cheyenne Jackson, Angela Bassett, Denis O’Hare, Sarah Paulson, Kathy Bates and Finn Wittrock, along with Wes Bentley and Matt Bomer, to American Horror Story next season, if they wish to take part. According to Variety, Murphy has been working on two ideas for the upcoming series—we will bring you more information as it comes in!

Bloodline Sets Premiere Date
We now have a return date for the previously reported second season of Bloodline. Featuring Main Stem favorite Norbert Leo Butz, alongside guest star Steven Pasquale (The Robber Bridegroom) and more, the dark drama will premiere on Netflix on May 27. With a cast also including Kyle Chandler, Ben Mendelsohn, Linda Cardellini and Sissy Spacek, TV Line writes that the 10 episodes will follow the Rayburn family fighting to hide their crime as law enforcement closes in.

Jeff Daniels Discusses 'Tough' Blackbird
Jeff Daniels is currently appearing opposite Michelle Williams in Broadway's Blackbird and he visited Live with Kelly & Michael on March 21 to discuss David Harrower's intense play. "It's tough. What's most gratifying is that it's really hard to do and to be challenged at this point in the career is a great honor." Check out the interview (Malin Akerman's in for Kelly!) below; the production is running at the Belasco Theatre.


P.S. We leave you with West End alum Luke Evans (upcoming Gaston) and Tony winner Hugh Jackman (wannabe Gaston) having a Gaston sing-off. We're still working out who has the thicker neck.
