With the sudden and tragic death of former child star Gary Coleman, who entertained television audiences as the bite-sized half of “Diff’rent Strokes,” an unlikely tribute came by way of Broadway, or at least Off-Broadway, thanks for the puppet musical “Avenue Q.” “Avenue Q,” a musical that won a Tony Award for best musical, includes a fictionalized [...] As Gleeks await the return of Fox’s hit series ‘Glee,’ those attending the White House’s annual Easter Egg Roll, and anyone tuning in online, were treated to a live performance from the singing and dancing cast. ‘Glee’ stars ran through the Queen song “Somebody to Love” first, with the whole group getting on the action. Next up [...]
I’m now impressed more so with Millegan after reading an interview the actor did for The Huffington Post in which he candidly talks about his rapid-cycling bipolar disorder. The name along sounds frightening. It turns out Millegan has been struggling with this illness since his move to Los Angeles.
Millegan also took to YouTube and outed himself as a bipolar sufferer with two video confessionals.

I had the opportunity to sit down with the show’s director, Carter Emmart, and produce a behind-the-scenes [...] This summer has seen two quirky romantic films — both with somewhat depressing endings — bucking the trend of horrendous action blockbusters. Adam and (500) Days of Summer explore the idea that love doesn’t always conquer all. While Adam is the superior movie, (500) Days of Summer is the slicker production, and features one [...] One fantastic perk of working the Broadway scene is the opportunity to randomly meet an entertainment legend. Today’s star power doesn’t come anywhere near that of stage and screen greats like Frank Sinatra, Ethel Merman or Judy Garland. There was a time when stars like those were all over town, both here in New York and [...] My Sofa Snark video blog has been on a bit of a hiatus these last few weeks, but with most of prime-time shuttering for the summer, I decided to wrap up the juiciest finales. I also revamped the webisode with a new look. Let me know what you think. This week’s Sofa Snark covers the [...] Of all the shows on Broadway this season, “Next to Normal” packs the biggest punch. It’s a heavy dramatic story line following a family’s downward spiral as it deals with a crisis. Best of all is the score. With music by Tom Kitt and lyrics by Brian Yorkey, the show explodes on stage [...] |
