On this week's episode of SUPERGIRL, Astra makes Kara question everything she thinks she knows about her aunt, CatCo faces an email hacking scandal, and Cat Grant finds out Kara's true identity. Mostly importantly, the amazing Laura Benanti finally got a lot of screen time!

In the video below, the cast of SUPERGIRL thanks their fans for their support after receiving a full season pick-up.

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: 'BRIDGES' opens in Iowa, Jonathan Groff returns to HAMILTON and more!

Good morning, BroadwayWorld! Because we know all our readers eat, sleep and breathe Broadway, what could be better than waking up to it? This weekend's big news: FIDDLER returns to Broadway, FUNNY GIRL arrives in London, Billie Joe Armstrong's new musical lands off-Broadway and more!

In the latest episode of BroadwayWorld's 'Some Like it Pop' Podcast, Jennifer McHugh and I check back in on some of our favorite shows of the fall, discuss two of our favorite 'fluff' TV shows, and begrudgingly give each other credit where it is due. We also get the bottom of Jenn's LES MIS inspired screenname. 

GLEE's Blake Jenner will join his real-life spouse Melissa Benoist in the hit CBS superhero drama SUPERGIRL.

On last night's LATE LATE SHOW, James Corden asked his guests Saoirse Ronan and Melissa Benoist about their unusual pronunciations.

In this week's episode of SUPERGIRL, Kara takes on a villain not even Superman could defeat: Reactron. But does she need the Man of Steel's help…or just to prove to everyone that she is worthy of the task?

In the second episode of the season, SUPERGIRL learns that her family's motto of 'Stronger Together' is true as she works with James Olsen, Winn Schott, and her sister Alex. She turns to smaller tasks in an effort to prove herself to the DEO and fix her bad reputation with the people of National City, but a bigger threat is lurking…in the form of her Aunt Astra.

Broadway fans have known that Laura Benanti has superhuman powers for years, but now the whole world is in on our little secret. In the final moments of last week's SUPERGIRL series premiere, the Tony-winner was revealed to not only be playing the title character's dearly departed mother, but her Kryptonian criminal aunt as well. The surprise twist was just part of what made the pilot the most watched debut of the fall season.

On last night's LATE SHOW WITH STEPHEN COLBERT, just because it’s Supergirl not Superwoman, doesn’t mean Melissa Benoist’s character isn’t a feminist hero.

TV's newest superhero show is startlingly different than nearly everything else on the current comic book landscape, and it's not just because its hero wears a skirt instead of tights. No, CBS's SUPERGIRL stands out because it dares to have fun; it dares to have a hero who is optimistic and embraces the joy of being super; and, perhaps most surprisingly, it dares to film a majority of its scenes during daylight hours.
