Odds & Ends: Sutton Foster's Special Guests, David Yazbek Tapped for Fish in the Dark & More

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

Sutton Foster's Special Guests
We now have more details about Sutton Foster’s previously announced solo debut at Carnegie Hall as part of the New York Pops’ latest season! The two-time Tony winner will be joined by special guest artists Joshua Henry and Megan McGinnis on March 13. Whatever they have in store for the Big Apple, it looks like it’ll be toe-tappingly good fun—check out below Foster’s Instagram pic of herself and Henry in Houston this weekend.



David Yazbek Tapped for Fish in the Dark
So far we’ve been left somewhat in the dark about Larry David’s Fish in the Dark, which begins previews at Broadway’s Cort Theatre tonight. To keep the mystery up (and we can't wait to see the show, we admit it!), we've been told purposefully little about the production’s plot and it turns out, creative team. Until David Yazbek's recent tweet we had no idea that the Fully Monty and Dirty Rotten Scoundrels scribe would be doing the music for Fish. Yazbeck also revealed something that we've been longing to know about the play: “I got to tell you it's really f**king funny.” Thank you for the update, Mr. Yazbek!

Off-Broadway's Big Love Delays First Preview
A little delay for Big Love off-Broadway. Owing to the recent winter storm and subsequent loss of rehearsal time, the Signature Theatre production has pushed back its first preview by a day—the modern adaptation of Aeschylus’ The Danaids will now begin performances on February 4. Written by Charles Mee and starring Rebecca Naomi Jones, Bobby Steggert and more, the show will still officially open on February 23 and run through March 15.

Michael Ball Will Headline Mack & Mabel
Across the pond, West End fave and Broadway alum Michael Ball (The Woman in White, Aspects of Love) is returning to Chichester this summer in a new production of Mack & Mabel. Directed by Jonathan Church, the classic musical comedy will run July 15 through September 5 at the Festival Theatre, with opening night set for July 21. The show will then head out on a U.K. tour.

Derek McLane Has Another Beautiful Night
Tony and Emmy-winning production designer Derek McLane won another gong to add to his collection on January 31—a Directors Guild Award for his work on the 86th Annual Academy Awards. McLane is currently represented on the Great White Way by Beautiful: The Carole King Musical—watch below as he exclusively shares with Broadway.com the vision behind his set.
