Two of television's hottest series are joining the diverse lineup of events at this year's PaleyFest LA, the William S. Paley Television Festival celebrating TV's most acclaimed series.

On October 14, 2016, The New York Pops - a symphonic orchestra known for presenting popular programs of exceptional quality - will launch its 34th season at Carnegie Hall celebrating the diversity of some of popular music's greatest icons. Music Director Steven Reineke, who has been described by The New York Times as a 'polished, welcoming host' who is 'young and vigorous, with a playful attitude,' will lead the orchestra in the highly anticipated concert season. The series will include an opening night concert celebrating the legacy of Lerner and Loewe with Broadway stars Colin Donnell and Laura Osnes alongside operatic baritone Nathan Gunn; a festive patriotic salute on Veterans Day; an exciting spin on our traditional holiday concert, featuring sibling duos Liz and Ann Hampton Callaway and Will and Anthony Nunziata; an exploration of the lasting partnership between Broadway legends Kander and Ebb, featuring Joshua Henryand Caissie Levy; and a tribute to some of the century's greatest singers and songwriters.

Hamilton tickets are hard to come by, and they probably will be for a while, but producer Jeffrey Seller announced today that a new block of tickets is now available! He writes:

Now you too can share that romantic sentiment with your loved one thanks to a new line of digitally printed watercolor postcards by artist and food writer Casey Barber.

In honor of HAMILTON's recent anniversary of their Public Theatre opening, the JOSEPH AND THE AMAZING TECHNICOLOR DREAMCOAT tour cast made their own music video tributing Lin-Manuel Miranda and HAMILTON choreographer Andy Blankenbuehler.

Both performances of HAMILTON were cancelled today, but not everyone got the memo before they arrived at the theatre. Stranded at a Broadway theatre with theatre artists- what's a person to do? Eat free food and jam with your friends!

In the latest update on Winter Storm Jonas' effect on Broadway, HAMILTON has announced that the #Ham4Ham lottery has been cancelled for today. Both shows will still perform, and Lin-Manuel Miranda assures us that he will definitely release a digital #Ham4Ham performance video.

It could happen when you least expect it: turn a corner or walk into a room and there is your favorite celebrity - not on a stage or screen, but right in front of you, in the flesh. You've always wanted to meet this person! Your friends will be so impressed! This might be the only chance you ever get! You absolutely, 100% can't blow it!!!

Dolly is a great comic role, but it requires a great foil playing opposite her.
