We’re celebrating the return of Broadway all Fall along. However, it does not mean we are free from what has happened within this past year and a half. Our Theater scene just like the rest of the world are continuing to follow current ongoing COVID-19 safety guidelines.
One of the many shows that just returned is the groundbreaking Award winning smash hit 9/11 musical
Come From Away. Earlier today, the Broadway company made Healthy & Safety Protocol video (done in the style you would see when you’re flying on a plane). This is all to make the best of your experience to be back at THE ROCK in a protected matter.

BREAKING NEWS: Tony Award nominee Chad Kimball has filed a lawsuit against the production company of
Come From Away following previous news of departure. The Broadway veteran (also best known for originating the role of “Huey Calhoun” in the Tony winning
Memphis) has been experiencing a lot of backlash with his Christian Faith and beliefs not taking the COVID-19 vaccine. Earlier during the pandemic, Kimball himself tested POSITIVE for COVID-19.

With Broadway back, auditions are getting back in full swing. For many aspiring performers, it’s their dream to be in a show 8 times a week on the Great Bright Way. Even for many Broadway veterans, lot of them are anxious to head back to work and perform LIVE again including Tony and Emmy winner
Kristin Chenoweth.
Check out this SWANKIFIED and hilarious set of photos as the 4’11 versatile powerhouse she knocks on the door to various Theaters in attempts to be on stage again.
First stop is her old stomping grounds at the Gershwin Theatre for
WICKED. Not for “Glinda” but another possible role…
Her next step was attempting to be part of THE ROCK at the Award winning groundbreaking 9/11 musical
Come From Away to play “Captain Beverley Bass” (the first female pilot for
American Airlines). There’s totally nothing between HER AND THE SKY until current leading lady Olivier Award nominee (and fellow
Wicked alumni)
Rachel Tucker answers the Gerald Schonefeld Theatre stage door.
Finally, the 4’11 bundle of dynamite attempts to go WAVING THROUGH A WINDOW trying to take over the titular role in the groundbreaking Award winning smash hit
Dear Evan Hansen. Will she BE FOUND by the stage doorman at the Music Box Theatre?!!
Don’t Give Up Kristin!! Don’t give up anyone!!
How funny was that?!!!
