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

GOT's Rose Leslie Set for Mike Bartlett's Contractions
We’re keeping a close eye on this production—it could well have legs. Rose Leslie (Game of Thrones) and Sara Stewart (Enron) will headline Contractions at the U.K.’s Sheffield Theatre. Penned by Mike Bartlett, a 2016 Tony nominee for King Charles III, the play is scheduled to run June 23 through July 16, officially opening on June 27. Lisa Blair is on board to direct the show, which follows Emma (Leslie) in sales, who when she starts dating a colleague is informed by her manager she’s in breach of contract.

Tony Winner Sara Ramirez Departs Grey’s Anatomy
Sara Ramirez, who won a Tony for Spamalot, has departed Grey’s Anatomy after 10 seasons. The actress, who played Dr. Torres in Shondaland’s ABC medical drama, posted on Twitter that she’s taking “some welcome time off.” We’re crossing fingers and toes that this could mean a return to the Main Stem sooner rather than later…!

B'way Alum Bahiyah Hibah Goes on a Trip of Love

Recent and upcoming additions to the ensemble include Sissy Bell, Autumn Guzzardi, Marina Lazzaretto, Connor Schwantes, Kirstin Tucker and Colt Adam Weiss.

Daniel Dae Kim's Onstage Mishap
The new King of Siam, Daniel Dae Kim, co-hosted Live with Kelly on May 20. Check out the video below where he talks about a theatrical snafu that we have a feeling Patti LuPone could relate to...The something wonderful The King and I co-stars Marin Mazzie and is playing at Lincoln Center's Vivian Beaumont Theater.
