Taye Diggs Does It With Tongue, Kristin Chenoweth Gets a Kick Out of You (Literally) & More Lessons of the Week

It’s Friday, and you know what that means—time to make a Team Nicki Minaj shirt for your cat and a Team Taylor Swift shirt for your dog and watch them duke it out in the living room! But before those thrilling weekend plans commence, it’s time for the Lessons of the Week, our recap of all the weird stuff that happened in the last seven days. Ready? Let’s do this!

Don't Make Kristin Chenoweth Kick You
The Tony winner might look sweet, but Kristin Chenoweth’s got a secret weapon when it comes to rude audience members: Pointy shoes. On The Late Show, she revealed that she once kicked a front-row audience member who dared to put his feet up on the stage at On the Twentieth Century. Hey Patti LuPone, need a pair of steel-toed audience-kicking boots? Just call the K.C. Pocket Diva—she’ll hook you up.

It’s (Really, Really) Hard to Be the Bard
Being William Shakespeare is no walk in Central Park, but we never knew exactly how hard it was until we filmed an exclusive Broadway.com music video with Something Rotten! star Christian Borle in Times Square. Hey, it’s a tough job having the best biceps in the biz, but someone’s gotta do it.

Ben Walker’s a Bloody Good Chess Player
On this week’s episode of The Broadway.com Show, we announced that American Psycho is officially coming to Broadway, adding, “Your move, Benjamin Walker.” Less than 24 hours later, it was confirmed that Walker would in fact headline the new musical. Check and mate. Good game, Ben. Now let’s play some tackle football. Or better yet, wrestling.

Douglas Sills Has a Special Gal Named Grace
When we asked stars to name amazing ladies named Grace on the opening night of (you guessed it) Amazing Grace, we got some fantastic answers—but none more fantastic than Douglas Sills, who immediately responded, “I have a blow-up doll at home who I refer to as Grace on Tuesdays.” Can we get this guy an honorary Tony for Best Opening Night Guest?

The Secret to Acting? Use Your Face
Eleven-year-old Ruthless! The Musical star Tori Murray is brand new to the theater scene, but she’s already learned an important acting tip from her co-stars: “When you’re not saying a line, you have to still act. You still have to be doing stuff with your face.” Hey Christian Borle, you took some of Tori's master classes, didn't you?

Brie + Kit Kats = Fun Home Fuel
Speaking of pint-sized powerhouses, ever wonder where Fun Home star Sydney Lucas gets her energy? Between shows, she chows down on brie sandwiches and chicken soup from Pret a Manger and king-sized Kit Kat bars. Sydney, enjoy your youth while it lasts. After a meal like that, we’ll skip playing airplane with Daddy and play two-hour nap instead, please.

Jessie Mueller Has Disney Dreams
Waitress star Jessie Mueller has just about everything: a new gig, a Tony Award, a cute boyfriend and a stack of Broadway credits to her name. But just like Ariel in The Little Mermaid, she wants mooooore. Mueller revealed that she’d love to play a Disney princess, especially if it includes a duet with Norbert Leo Butz. Come on now Jessie, let’s not get greedy.

John Cariani Loves Wet Potato Chips
We learned a ton of stuff in the first episode of Heidi Blickenstaff’s new vlog Renaissance Woman. For starters, the whole cast of Something Rotten! has no sense of direction and Kate Reinders really, really loves windows. But oddest of all, we learned that John Cariani rinses off his potato chips to remove excess salt before eating them. Mmm, soggy.

Colin Quinn Is Too Cool For LeBron
The New York Story star Colin Quinn appears in Trainwreck with LeBron James, but that doesn’t mean he’s hanging out with with the 6’8” basketball player on the regular. “I was sitting right next to him at the [Trainwreck] party, but I didn’t even get up and shake his hand,” he said. Too bad, Colin, guess we won’t be seeing you at LeBron’s birthday bash this year.

Taye Diggs Has an Enormous...Tongue
New Hedwig and the Angry Inch star Taye Diggs is extremely well endowed and he’s taking every chance he can to show it off. Wow, Taye, that sure is a long one! Yep, he’s definitely the Hedwig with the absolute biggest tongue we’ve ever seen—wait, what did you think we were talking about?
