Could this August Wilson classic win big at the Oscars?

After a year like 2020, where theatre was changed forever (and at times, not for the better), it’s pretty cool to see so many movie-musicals on their way. I think we all need it.

Today's episode features Grammy-nominated actor, singer, and songwriter Cheyenne Jackson. 'I feel such a nostalgia and home- New York is home and Broadway is my first love. When I talk to folks like you, it reminds me of why I got started in the first place and where it all began.' Listen as he chats about his upbringing, the show that inspired his love for the arts, his career on stage and screen, and more!

James Corden connects with his co-star from 'The Prom' Jo Ellen Pellman who has been quarantined with loved ones since the start of the pandemic, causing her to miss the fanfare of her first film being released. James asks Jo Ellen about her nerves working with stars like Meryl Streep and Nicole Kidman in her first film, and Jo Ellen tells James about her work creating the Unruly Hearts Initiative to help connect LGBTQ+ with resources to help.

Sarah Drew (Grey’s Anatomy, upcoming Freeform drama Cruel Summer), Seamus Dever (Castle), Joanne Whalley (Daredevil on Netflix, The White Princess on Starz, Showtime’s The Borgias) and Darren Richardson (Ryan Murphy's Hollywood, over 40 radio plays for the BBC) star in the L.A.

e Graaf & Cornelissen Entertainment heeft de Nederlandse rechten bemachtigd voor de succesvolle Broadway-musical The Prom. Waar de cultuursector het afgelopen jaar veel klappen heeft gekregen, wordt er toch ook weer naar de toekomst gekeken met nieuwe, grote producties. Zo zal de musical The Prom in september 2022 zijn Nederlandse première beleven. Momenteel is op Netflix een zeer succesvolle filmversie van The Prom te zien met onder anderen Meryl Streep, James Corden en Nicole Kidman.

Veteran actress Bonnie Rose and cabaret performer Stephen S. Miller, aka “Mama Rose” have announced their new weekly talk show premiering on Wednesday, Feb. 10th, Tawkin' With the Roses.

Until we get any news, I’ll be rewatching “The Prom”...again.

Whether you spend all of your time scrolling through Tiktok, Instagram and Twitter, or you have sworn off the apps and deleted them all from your phone, everyone has an opinion about social media. Mike Heslin is delving into the ever-hot topic with a new, satirical scripted series, The Influencers, now out on Amazon Prime Video!

The pandemic has not stopped theatre. Instead, it opened up new avenues for theatrical material to be presented across the globe.

In short: don’t let the reviews discourage you from experiencing “The Prom”. I didn’t, and I think I’m a much happier person because of it. It might have even added a few years to my life.
