Odds & Ends: Sutton Foster, Bernadette Peters & Christina Aguilera Team Up & More

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

Sutton Foster, Bernadette Peters & Christina Aguilera Team Up
Strangers in the night! Tony winners Sutton Foster and Bernadette Peters, along with Grammy winners Christina Aguilera, Sting and Fantasia, are just some of the big names tapped for upcoming concert SINATRA: Voice for a Century. Directed by Lonny Price, choreographed by Joshua Bergasse and hosted by Seth MacFarlane, the celebration of Frank Sinatra’s centennial is scheduled to take place on December 3. Proceeds from the Lincoln Center and New Philharmonic fundraiser will go towards the new David Geffen Hall, which will begin construction in 2019.

The Lion King Sequel Sets Airdate
Hakuna matata! The previously reported The Lion King sequel, The Lion Guard: Return of the Roar, is scheduled to bow on November 22 7PM ET/PT on the Disney Channel. The new movie and series will focus on Simba and Nala’s second-born cub, Kion and his fellow Savanna comrades as they protect the Pride Lands. Rob Lowe takes on the role of Simba, originally played on film by Matthew Broderick, and The Gin Game's James Earl Jones returns as the voice of Mufasa (spoiler alert: he lives in you).

Watch Jane Eyre, Dangereuses & As You Like It
Those helpful people over at National Theatre Live are at it again, doing international broadcasts of shows we weren't able to cross the pond to see. First up is the National Theatre and Bristol Old Vic's co-production of Jane Eyre on December 8. This will be followed by the Donmar's revival of Christopher Hampton’s Les Liaisons Dangereuses on January 28, 2016 and the National Theatre’s production of Shakespeare’s As You Like It on February 25, 2016. Before all that, of course, we have Benedict Cumberbatch's epic performance of Hamlet to look forward to on October 15. An embarrassment of riches, indeed!

Julian Ovenden Set for U.K.'s The Sound of Music Live!
Julian Ovenden, who will take the Carnegie Hall stage alongside Sierra Boggess on October 9 to sing Rodgers and Hammerstein classics, is set to continue to do so! The British stage and screen fave will play Captain Von Trapp in ITV’s live version of The Sound Of Music this holiday season. Directed by Coky Giedroyc, the Daily Mail reports that the cast will shoot a version in advance for "safety." It's probably wrong to admit, but...Watching to see if anything goes wrong with these live broadcasts is one of our favorite things about them!

Courtney Reed's a Model Jasmine
Aladdin's Courtney Reed recently walked a specially constructed runway at the New Amsterdam Theatre modeling a Disney Fairy Tale Wedding dress based on her character, Jasmine. Her boyfriend Brock was there to cheer her on (and maybe get some inspiration?!). Check out the adorable Reed in her Alfred Angelo number below and have a shining shimmering, splendid weekend!
