BroadwayWorld has just learned that the stars and creative team behind Broadway's Fun Home will be featured on CHARLIE ROSE: THE WEEK tomorrow night, Friday, January 8 at 8:30 p.m. on PBS/WNET. Be sure to set your DVR, and BWW will bring you clips as soon as we have them!

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: BROADWAY: BEYOND THE GOLDEN AGE makes its debut in Palm Springs and more!

The show announced on Twitter that the lottery will remain live at the Richard Rodgers Theatre for the remainder of the week.

Lin-Manuel Miranda shared the news on Twitter that there will be a special Ham4Ham performance taking place in front of the Richard Rodgers Theatre at 5:55 pm!

Ryan Coogler, director of the Rocky reboot CREED, as well as the recent acclaimed film FRUITVALE STATION, revealed that he would love to take the reins on a film adaptation of Broadway's HAMILTON.

As BroadwayWorld reported yesterday, the daily $10 lottery at the Broadway musical Hamilton will move online for the winter starting today, January 5. The live lottery and live Ham4Ham show will return in the spring. It's just the first day of the new system and already the site has crashed due to high traffic. We can see that engineers are on the case, so stay tuned to BroadwayWorld throughout the day for updates!

Still waiting for HAMILTON lottery tickets? There are plenty of other amazing shows on the Great White Way now offering a digital opportunity to nab tickets, including the Tony Award-winning production of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, which just launched its own lottery today.

Welcome to the digital world. Every day our lives become more and more infused with text messaging, social media, and new technology, and Broadway is keeping up with the times. For years, Broadway and Off-Broadway shows have offered theatre-goers a chance for last-minute tickets through student rushes, general rushes, and the ever-popular lottery system. These traditions invite fans straight to the theatre box offices so that they might snag a discounted pair of tickets just hours before the curtain goes up. CLICK HERE to read more about all of the Broadway lotteries/rushes. The times are a-changin' however, as this morning A GENTLEMAN'S GUIDE TO LOVE AND MURDER joined the growing list of productions that now offer a digital lottery. That's right- no more waiting in line in the cold/heat at the crack of dawn; no more joining the hoards of people in the street for the chance that your name might get chosen. One question remains- how long until the rest of Broadway joins the bandwagon?

Good morning, BroadwayWorld! Because we know all our readers eat, sleep and breathe Broadway, what could be better than waking up to it?

A GENTLEMAN'S GUIDE TO LOVE AND MURDER, directed by Darko Tresnjak, featuring book & lyrics by Robert L. Freedman, music & lyrics by Steven Lutvak, and choreography by Peggy Hickey, comes to the Ahmanson Theatre in Los Angeles this spring.

That unstoppable juggernaut that is 'The Book or Mormon' is back in Seattle and just as deliciously fun as ever. We all know how good the show is. We all know we're going to laugh our butts off at the crass humor while falling in love with the wonderful characters and infectious musical theater gold. So it all really just rests on the cast for this particular tour and let me say, they bring it as usual and even add in a few elements I've not seen in the show before.

Roundabout Theatre Company presents Michael Frayn's comedy NOISES OFF, starring Andrea Martin as 'Dotty Otley,' Campbell Scott as 'Lloyd Dallas,' Tracee Chimo as 'Poppy Norton-Taylor,' Daniel Davis as 'Selsdon Mowbray,' David Furr as 'Garry Lejeune,' Kate Jennings Grant as 'Belinda Blair,' Megan Hilty as 'Brooke Ashton,' Rob McClure as 'Tim Allgood' and Jeremy Shamos as 'Frederick Fellowes.'

'I'm hoping to prove that there's always time to celebrate.' That wish is behind the audacious experiment that Broadway leading lady Patti Murin (LYSISTRATA JONES, WICKED, HOLIDAY INN) is preparing to launch on January 1st, 2016 with her #PartywithPatti initiative. Earlier this month, Murin announced via her blog, Literally Patti Murin, that beginning with the New Year, she would be celebrating as many 'national holidays' as possible in 2016, from the ridiculous to the poignant.
