Good morning, BroadwayWorld! Because we know all our readers eat, sleep and breathe Broadway, what could be better than waking up to it? Today's big news: Actresses Joely Richardson, America Ferrera, Andrea Martin and Betty Buckley all come to the stage tonight -- off-Broadway, on tour and in concert!

TODAY'S TOP ITEMS:

NEWS YOU MISSED YESTERDAY:

Broadway Weather Forecast: High of 74 and cloudy with thunderstorms this evening and overnight. Wear your rainboots to the show, and don't forget an umbrella!

Quote of the Day: Betty Buckley on how musical theatre has changed over the years...

Broadway has changed tremendously from the early days when the shows were referred to as musical comedies. Musical Theater is now a more expanded art form. Back then, singer/actors were not the norm. From the 60's to now, it is necessary to do it all to be a consummate Broadway performer.
-- Betty Buckley (via BrainyQuote)

What we're reading: Alan Cumming's new memoir NOT MY FATHER'S SON, out today!

And finally, a Happy Birthday shout-out to Tim Minchin, who turns 38 today!

Minchin wrote the music and lyrics for the Tony- and Olivier-winning musical adaptation of Matilda in the West End and on Broadway. He has appeared in Australian productions of Amadeus, Hamlet, The Return, Twelfth Night, One Destiny, Man of La Mancha and more. Minchin also played 'Judas' in 2012's arena tour of Jesus Christ Superstar and most recently starred in Sydney Theatre Company's 2013 production of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead. He is also a successful comedian, actor and writer, with four live comedy albums, five DVDs and numerous UK, US and Australian TV and radio appearances.
