History Theatre has announced its 35th season, which will kick-off with the Minnesota premiere of the Broadway hit Lombardi by Eric Simonson. The show will feature Jim Detmar as Vince Lombardi and Norah Long as Marie Lombardi, and promises to be a funny and passionate look at an American icon.

The last time the 1933 West End musical Nymph Errant was revived in New York, the Medicine Show Theatre Company advertised their production with the selling point that they haven't removed any of the show's racism.  Now, while going to see a racist musical is not exactly my idea of a fun night out, there is a certain historic value to watching older musicals performed with the texts the authors wrote, opposed to the frequent occurrence of slapping their books with labels like “creaky” or “dated” and having contemporary authors make wholesale revisions to transform them into suitable entertainments for modern audiences.

The New York Musical Theatre Festival (NYMF) has announced their full slate of partner events and readings for their ninth annual festival. This year's Festival will begin July 9th and continue through July 29th.

The CW's "Hart of Dixie" returns this Monday after a six-week hiatus, and the latest episode "Heart to Hart" offers a whole new reason for fans to be excited. "Heart to Hart" draws particular focus to Korean-American actress Deborah S. Craig, whose outrageously funny performance as "Shelley Ng" provides the comedic relief to the tension surrounding "Zoe" (Rachel Bilson) and her father (Gary Cole). Though Craig has been seen before playing the quirky waitress that works in the Rammer Jammer, this episode really showcases Ms. Craig's landmark portrayal of TV's first Asian-American from the South.
