Good morning, BroadwayWorld! Because we know all our readers eat, sleep and breathe Broadway, what could be better than waking up to it? For your most important theatre meal of the day, we've rounded up the big news you missed yesterday, what's on the agenda today, and a few extras to start your day off right.

The Bacon: See what's on the griddle this busy, busy Monday...

Cup of Joe: Perk up and revisit Friday, Saturday and Sunday's big stories...

Broadway Weather Forecast: Starting out the week with a nice spring day! Mostly sunny with a high of 66.

Quote of the Day: On site-specific work and illusion...

"At the end of the 1960s, I was part of the downtown theatrical movement in New York that was making work in alleyways, garages, gyms, churches, non-traditional spaces. The idea was to get away from the illusion of the conventional theatre. But then I thought, what's wrong with illusion?"
-- Robert Wilson (via BrainyQuote)

What we're watching: This weekend's SNL. Just in case you missed it, our favorite "Weekend Update" character -- the caustic 1860s newspaper critic Jebidiah Atkinson -- reveiwed the 2014 Tony nominations, as well as some classic Broadway plays. The result is hilarious.

Video of the Day: To prep for Milly and Abigail Shapiro's concert at 54 Below tonight, watch them perform "What Is This Feeling" below!

See you bright and early tomorrow, BroadwayWorld!
