Odds & Ends: Neil Patrick Harris Channels The Brady Bunch, Sutton Foster's Dancin' In the Rain & More
Here's a quick roundup of stories you may have missed today.
NPH Channels The Brady Bunch
Neil Patrick Harris did label his upcoming autobiography a “revolutionary Joycean experiment in light celebrity narrative” and from this promo, below, it seems he's delivered. The Tony winner channels The Brady Bunch to explain how in Neil Patrick Harris: Choose Your Own Autobiography, you, the reader, can live his life. Sort of. From magic tricks to drinking shots to Hedwig vocal warm-ups to A Lady and the Tramp moment with his hubby David Burtka, we're sure that all will no doubt become completely clear when the book hits stores on October 14!
Dates Set for Emma Thompson to Bring London's Worst Pies Home
We now have dates for the English National Opera's Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, A Musical Thriller, starring Emmy Thompson and Bryn Terfel. Lonny Price will direct the Stephen Sondheim and Hugh Wheeler classic, which will run March 30, 2015 through April 12 at the London Coliseum. Opening night is set for March 31. Can’t get on a plane to see them? Never fear, the pair’s version at Lincoln Center earlier this year was filmed and will air on PBS on September 26!
Cast Announced for Grand Concourse at Playwrights Horizons
Quincy Tyler Bernstine, Ismenia Mendes, Bobby Moreno and Lee Wilkof will feature in the previously reported world premiere production of Grand Concourse. Heidi Schreck’s show will be directed by Kip Fagan and play a limited engagement October 17 through November 30. The production will officially open on November 12 at Playwrights Horizons off-Broadway.
Sutton Foster's Dancin' In the Rain!
Sutton Foster instagrammed the below video on September 16 from a photo shoot for Good Housekeeping, somehow managing to look incredibly glamorous as she leapt through the air Singin' in the Rain style, even if the weather wasn't. The two-time Tony winner recently finished a run on Broadway in Violet and we can't wait to catch her new TV Land series Younger.
