Though most of us think of Gyllenhaal as the kid from the 1999 film OCTOBER SKY who grew up to receive an Oscar nomination for BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN and has of late sported a rockin' beard, many people may not know that he has also graced both the London and Broadway stages. With these credits under his belt, might a Broadway musical be Gyllenhaal's next venture?

Boe just began rehearsals for his Broadway comeback, and he checked in with BroadwayWorld after Day 1. In the full interview below find out how he feels about being Britain's favorite tenor, what his memories are of the 25th Anniversary concert and so much more!

As reported yesterday, Tony Award-nominee Montego Glover and Alex Finke will join Alfie Boe, the internationally-acclaimed performer who takes over the role of Jean Valjean in Claude-Michel Schonberg & Alain Boublil's Les Miserables, on Sept 1. Glover succeeds Erika Henningsen as Fantine, while Finke (making her Broadway debut) replaces original cast member Samantha Hill. In honor of the trio boarding of one Broadway's most beloved hits, BWW brings you a brief look at their past performances!

New York Magazine described Neil LaBute as, "the most legitimately provocative and polarizing playwright at work today." Tony and Olivier Award nominee LaBute, transports Miss Julie from August Strindberg's Sweden of the late 19th Century, to a Long Island estate, the idyllic playground of the wealthy, on the night of Labor Day, 1929. Set on the eve of the Stock Market Crash, Miss Julie reflects a world of possibilities, ambitions and opportunities to be taken to achieve the unthinkable.
