An inspired choice of a show, the Hollywood Bowl has decided to present an effervescently buoyant new production of the Tony Award-winning 1986 musical INTO THE WOODS, Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine's much beloved twisted take on traditional fairy tale stories mashed together with witty charm, tongue-tying lyrics, and gallows humor. Directed and choreographed by Robert Longbottom, this enjoyable, sublime production is exquisite and thoroughly delightful from start to finish---much of which can be attributed to its top-notch, musical theater-trained cast that includes Tony Winners Sutton Foster and Patina Miller giving exceptional acting and singing performances alongside theater favorites Cheyenne Jackson, Skylar Astin, Sierra Boggess, Hailey Kilgore, and Stranger Things breakout star Gaten Matarazzo. The show continues with two additional evening performances July 27-28, 2019.

Olivier nominated actress Sierra Boggess (The Little Mermaid, Phantom, Love Never Dies) will appear on On the Rocks Radio Show Tuesday, July 23rd at 8pmPST/11pmEST with host TV/radio personality Alexander Rodriguez for an in depth chat about life in the theatre before she appears as Cinderella in The Hollywood Bowl's star studded Into the Woods.

Yesterday marked the fifth annual Red Nose Day in the U.S., following activities and events across the country in recent weeks that brought together millions of Americans to have fun, make a difference, and raise money and awareness for children living in poverty. Red Nose Day has now raised more than $190 million in the campaign's first five years in the U.S., including nearly $40 million so far in the 2019 campaign with the fundraising ongoing through June and beyond.

NBC's “Red Nose Day Special” will feature the biggest names across entertainment with a packed lineup of music, comedy and short documentary films that educate and engage viewers on the cause for the fifth annual event.

NBC has added the musical series 'Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist' to its freshman class for the 2019-2020 season.

Skylar Astin has joined the ensemble cast of the 'Secret Society of Second Born Royals,' a contemporary princess story for Disney+, the upcoming streaming service.  Actress Peyton Elizabeth Lee, lauded for her role on the acclaimed Disney Channel series 'Andi Mack,' has won the lead role in the original movie. Astin will star as James in the film.

St. Edward's University's choice for their spring musical is aptly named. While the words 'spring awakening' invoke images of beautiful flowers or a warm spring day, this musical contains everything but, with central themes of sexuality, religion, abuse, suicide, guilt and repression. I'll be blunt: go see this production. The cast of St. Edwards University blesses the audience with their talent, capturing the heartbreak, hope, and surprising humor that's integral to SPRING AWAKENING, based on the 1891 German play of the same name by Frank Wedekind.

Carmen Cusack is headed back to the small screen in NBC's upcoming musical dramedy, Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist!

Skylar Astin and Alex Newell are set to star opposite Jane Levy in Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist, according to Deadline.
