Odds & Ends: Hamilton's Number One on Billboard Rap Album Chart, Bombshell Is Still In The Works & More

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

Hamilton's Number One on Billboard Rap Chart
Once again the words “ground” and “breaking” are being applied to that gargantuan hit in residence at Broadway’s Richard Rodgers Theatre. The Hamilton cast album has officially made it to number one on the Billboard Rap Album Chart for the week of November 28. Yet more proof that this Main Stem musical has gone seriously main stream—everyone wants to be in the room where the 46-track record happens. Congratulations to creator and star Lin-Manuel Miranda, along with the entire company!

Don't Panic, Bombshell is Still In The Works
If you were concerned about the progress of the stage adaptation of Bombshell, the fictional Marilyn Monroe musical from the NBC drama Smash, breathe. Mega-producers Neil Meron and Craig Zadan haven’t forgotten about the project and are still putting together the creative team. The reason for the delay? They’ve been focusing on The Wiz Live!. “The moment The Wiz is up and running, we’ll go back and focus on Bombshell,” Zadan told EW. “You can’t do two huge things at the same time.”

Miriam Shor's High Maintenance
Miriam Shor has been tapped as a guest star for HBO’s new comedy High Maintenance. The Wrap reports that details of the Hedwig and Younger fave’s role are being kept on the Q.T.; the series follows a Brooklyn pot dealer with a neurotic clientele. We just hope that whoever Shor ends up playing that statement jewelry is involved.

Get Into the Yuletide Spirit With Daniel Reichard
Broadway actor and concert singer Daniel Reichard is set to return to Birdland Jazz Club on December 13 and December 20 for his eighth New York City holiday concert. With musical direction and arrangement by Jesse Vargas, Daniel Reichard's Under the Mistletoe will offer nostalgic musical classics, heartfelt and often hilarious Christmas stories, along with unexpected guest stars and surprises.
