Good morning, BroadwayWorld! Because we know all our readers eat, sleep and breathe Broadway, what could be better than waking up to it? Scroll down for the latest news.
Yesterday, we learned that the New York Theatre Workshop production of Three Sisters, starring Oscar Isaac and Greta Gerwig, has been postponed indefinitely. The production was initially planned as part of the 2019/2020 season but was postponed due to the pandemic. A statement reads, "new scheduling conflicts have arisen for the production's in-demand artists which proved to be insurmountable in bringing the production to life during the 2022/23 season."
The film adaptation of the musical version of Mean Girls has gone into production! The movie's star, Renee Rapp, took to Instagram to share a photo and video from her first day heading to set.
Plus, Drew Gehling will join the cast of Little Shop of Horrors as Dr. Orin Scrivello D.D.S. beginning March 14. Gehling joins a cast that includes Maude Apatow as Audrey and Tony Award winner Matt Doyle as Seymour.
