Odds & Ends: Tituss Burgess & Cristin Milioti Team Up, Lin-Manuel Miranda Raps for Jimmy Fallon's Voicemail & More

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

Tituss Burgess, Cristin Milioti & More Board 24 Hour Musicals
Stage and screen faves Tituss Burgess and Cristin Milioti will appear in the seventh 24 Hour Musicals on April 13. Four short, brand-new musicals will be written, cast, rehearsed and performed over the period of a single day. Other stars in the lineup include Ashley Fink, Alicia Witt, Christine Lahti, Eden Espinosa, Julian Fleisher, Lea DeLaria, Shanola Hampton and Randy Harrison. The event is all in aid of The Orchard Project, an eight-year-old program that has served as a starting place for shows that have debuted in theaters across the U.S. and beyond. We imagine all involved will be deserving of a very large glass of Pinot Noir at the end of the evening.

Ciara Renée Will Star in Arrow/Flash Spinoff
She's been a superhero to us ever since we saw her circus skills in Pippin! Broadway alum Ciara Renée is following in Andy Mientus' footsteps and will make her TV debut in the CW’s proposed Arrow/Flash spinoff series. Deadline reports that she will play Hawkgirl, aka Kendra Saunders, a young woman who is starting to realize that she has been repeatedly reincarnated over the centuries. When aggravated, she grows wings and taps into her previous ancient warrior identity. From Big Fish to big bird. Or something.

Casting Set for Seattle's Jasper in Deadland
Sydney Shepherd will play Gretchen opposite the previously reported Matt Doyle in Jasper in Deadland at the 5th Avenue Theatre, Seattle. The production will play April 30 through May 24 and also feature Andi Alhadeff, Kyle Bernbach, Jared Michael Brown, Kyle Robert Carter, Taryn Darr, Sarah Rose Davis, Frederick Hagreen, Louis Hobson, Diana Huey, Brandi Chavonne Massey, Caety Sagoian and Evan Woltz.

Tony Nominee B.J. Crosby Dead at 62
B.J. Crosby, who was Tony nominated for her performance in Smokey Joe’s Café and also appeared on the Great White Way in One Mo’ Time and Chicago, died on March 27 in New Orleans aged 62. The Times-Picayune reports that cause of death was complications from a stroke and diabetes. Crosby is survived by her son, Joseph Elloie, and three grandchildren.

Lin-Manuel Miranda Raps for Jimmy Fallon's Voicemail
Jimmy Fallon recently stopped by the Broadway-Bound Hamilton, where Lin-Manuel Miranda was auctioning off custom freestyle voicemails for Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS. The Tonight Show host bought one (of course he did!) and you can check out the Tony winner recording it below. We have a feeling Fallon won’t be deleting this from his cellphone anytime soon!
