NEWS YOU MISSED YESTERDAY:

Broadway Weather Forecast: Weather Channel says 'plentiful sunshine' for today. We can get used to that phrase! High of 80 degrees.

Quote of the Day: Rick Bayless on chowing down on-screen...

A lot of people don't like to eat on camera, but I eat on camera all the time. I'm standing in for the viewer.
-- Rick Bayless (via BrainyQuote)

What we're singing: A new collection of sheet music, THE BEST OF IDINA MENZEL, is out today, and we're tempted to use "Let It Go" for every audition... Or, if you'd rather take on a tune from IF/THEN, you can get the vocal selections online!

And finally, a Happy Birthday shout-out to Laurence Fishburne, who turns 54 today!

He last appeared on Broadway in 2008's Thurgood and before that starred in The Lion in Winter and Two Trains Running, for which he won the 1992 Tony and Drama Desk awards for Best Featured Actor in a Play. In 1995, the actor became the first African American to play Othello in a major motion picture under director Oliver Parker. Fishburne will next appear on the big screen in Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice and stars in the TV series Hannibal.
