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: MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING with Lily Rabe and Hamish Linklater opens at Shakespeare in the Park, BroadwayWorld hosts THE LORD & THE MASTER: BROADWAYWORLD.COM SINGS THE MUSIC OF ANDREW LLOYD WEBBER & STEPHEN SONDHEIM at Joe's Pub, and more!

TODAY'S TOP ITEMS:

NEWS YOU MISSED THIS WEEKEND:

Broadway Weather Forecast: The skies are clear this morning and afternoon, with a high of 78 before thunderstorms move in during the early evening - just in time for curtain call.

Quote of the Day: In honor of ACT ONE closing on Broadway yesterday, a quote from Moss Hart on making mistakes...

All the mistakes I ever made were when I wanted to say 'No' and said 'Yes'.
- Moss Hart (via BrainyQuote)

What we're listening to: The incredible HEDWIG AND THE ANGRY INCH revival cast recording, featuring Tony winners Neil Patrick Harris and Lena Hall, which happened to drop last week - and a day early!

In case you missed the cast's showstopping rendition of 'Sugar Daddy' from the Tony Awards last weekend, or just want to rewatch it for the eighty-sixth time (like we have) - here it is!

And finally, a Happy Birthday shout-out to Laurie Metcalf, who turns 59 today!

Metcalf received a Tony nomination for her performance in NOVEMBER in 2008. Her other Broadway credits include BRIGHTON BEACH MEMOIR and MY THING OF LOVE. She is best known for her Emmy Award-winning role as Jackie on the sitcom "Roseanne." She recently appeared in the Steppenwolf Theatre Company's production of DETROIT, MCC Theatre's The Other Place, and LCT's Domesticated with Jeff Goldblum.

See you bright and early tomorrow, BroadwayWorld!
