Odds & Ends: Kyra Sedgwick Set for White Rabbit, Keke Palmer Inks Book Deal & More

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

Kyra Sedgwick Set for Rabbit
A switcheroo has gone on at the starry White Rabbit Red Rabbit off-Broadway. Due to a, you guessed it, “scheduling conflict,” Tony winner Alan Cumming will now appear on June 6, rather than the previously announced date of April 25; Emmy winner Kyra Sedgwick (The Closer) will replace him. The New York premiere of Nassim Soleimanpour’s solo show, which involves a different actor every performance seeing the script for the first time just before they go on stage, is playing Monday nights at the Westside Theatre.

Keke Palmer Inks Book Deal
Stage and screen star Keke Palmer (Cinderella, Grease Live!) can now add author to her resume! The Broadway alum will pen a self-help guide and inspirational memoir for publisher North Star Way, an imprint of Simon & Schuster. “I want to be a part of my generation in a way where I am constantly reminding them of how possible it is to live our dreams,” Palmer told The Hollywood Reporter. "It doesn’t mean that you have to be born with a charmed life, it means that it’s what YOU make of it." The book is scheduled for publication in October.

Melissa Errico to Lead The Gold Room
Tony nominee Melissa Errico (Amour) and Jamie Muscato (Bend It Like Beckham) will star in a workshop of The Gold Room in London this April. Featuring original music by Michael Feinstein, along with book and lyrics by Warner Brown, the new tuner explores a night behind closed doors in the life of Woolworth heiress Barbara Hutton. Jeremy Sams will direct.

Kelli O’Hara & SJP Team Up
It must be Tony time, another benefit has appeared on our radar! Kelli O’Hara, Sarah Jessica Parker, Bill Irwin, Mark Linn-Baker, Tiler Peck and more will join the festivities at the New 42nd Street’s 25th annual gala. Taking place at the New Victory Theater on April 11, the evening is set to honor Douglas Durst, Bruce C. Ratner, Daniel R. Tishman, Mortimer B. Zuckerman and Cora Cahan. Proceeds go to the New Victory’s artistic and education programs.
