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

Bobby Cannavale Will Bring Mick Jagger Satisfaction
Broadway favorite and Annie movie star Bobby Cannavale will appear in a Rock ‘n’ Roll drama pilot for HBO. It may not yet have a title, but Mick Jagger and Martin Scorsese are among the Executive Producers, so we've got a feeling we'll be watching it back to back with Game of Thrones sometime soon! According to Deadline, Cannavale will play Richie Finestra, a 1970s record executive who is attempting to resurrect his label and discover the next new sound.

Kinky Boots' Shakeup!
Kinky Boots is switching up its schedule for the next fortnight.

Performances are set for: Monday, 5/5 at 8 PM; Tuesday, 5/6 at 7 PM; Wednesday, May 7 at 2 PM & 8 PM; Wednesday, 5/14 at 2 & 8 PM; Thursday, 5/15 at 7 PM; Friday, 5/16 at 8 PM, Saturday, 5/17 at 2 & 8 PM, Sunday, 5/18 at 2 & 7:30 PM. Back to normal after that!

Kevin Spacey's 'Monster'
