Lesli Margherita's a Film Star!
We have our first sneak peek of new comedy-musical Opening Night, starring Taye Diggs and Topher Grace, along with Olivier winner and former Broadway.com Vlogger Lesli Margherita. Check out the clip below, where Queen Lesli is being as demure as always (her words). The movie, which had previously been titled One Shot, will receive its world premiere at the Los Angeles Film Festival on June 3.


Lin-Manuel Miranda & Patti LuPone Talk Justin Bieber
Tony-winning grande dame Patti LuPone recently belted out “Give My Regards to Broadway," for Hamilton's #Ham4Ham, and now we can see what went on behind the scenes! Take a look at Entrances, Exits, & Everything in Between with Patti LuPone as she tours the Richard Rodgers Theatre with Lin-Manuel Miranda discussing cellphones, Justin Bieber and so much more. LuPone begins in the War Paint in Chicago on June 28.


Gloria Estefan Says 1-2-3 Cry
The rhythm is currently getting everyone who goes to see Gloria and Emilio Estefan's On Your Feet! at the Marquis Theatre, and the pop icon stopped by Live with Kelly (and Anderson Cooper)! on June 1 to chat about the show. What is she enjoying most about the bio-musical's success? "Making people cry," said Gloria. However, as we know, there's no need to worry about bringing tissues to the tuner; we're sure the Estefans still have a supply!
