Are You More Interested in Theater If a Big Name Is Involved?
Theater casting makes big news when a high-profile actor is involved, such as today's news that Keira Knightley is set to make her debut on London's West End in the play Misanthrope.
I'm well aware that Broadway and the West End don't need movie stars to boost the caliber of talent in their productions, but people do seem to sit up and take notice when a movie star decides to take an onstage role. Remember when Katie Holmes boosted the notoriety of Broadway's All My Sons?
Race Debate: White Director Revives August Wilson Play
Playwright August Wilson insisted that his plays about the black experience always be directed by an African American. But a white man is now directing the first Broadway revival of Wilson's plays since his death in 2005. Many black directors are concerned, if not outraged.
Open House: Your Thoughts on Home Theaters
Home theaters have almost become a requisite for Americans building mega-McMansions, and they're quite common in the homes of the Hollywood elite. Personally, I just find them excessive. And since going to the theater is one of my favorite pastimes, I'd never give up popcorn and Slurpees in favor of a leather La-Z-Boy, even if ticket prices are well above $10 these days.
Announcing the Winners: The 2008 Tony Awards
It was Broadway's turn in the spotlight on Sunday as the 2008 Tony Awards took over Radio City Music Hall. Whoopi Goldberg — in her Christian Siriano-designed dress! — presided over the ceremony, which saw In the Heights take home the award for Best Musical and August: Osage County named Best Play.
You Asked: Should I Follow My Dreams?
Dear Sugar--
Ok ok, I know this is a pretty broad question, but I'm a 29 year old female (and I'm not getting any younger) who lives in Boston and has an office job. Needless to say... I hate it!
Madonna Meets Blondie in Musical Version of Desperately Seeking Susan
I used to have a theory that girls who grew up in the '80s identified with either the punk style of Blondie's Debbie Harry or the slick sexiness of Madonna. Now, the two are colliding in an intriguing way: Madonna's 1985 comedy Desperately Seeking Susan is being made into a musical featuring the songs of Blondie. The project is set to premiere this fall in London.
"The Coast of Utopia" Makes History at 61st Tony Awards
With the series finale of "The Sopranos" on everyone's minds, last night's Tony Awards were a little bit overshadowed. That being said, the 61st Annual Tony Awards brought out some big names in NYC last night to celebrate all that is wonderful on Broadway. I myself was too wrapped up in the HBO Tony to catch most of the show, but I'm certain there was plenty of singing, dancing, sequins and fabulousness to go around.
Modern Dance at the Oscars!!! Pilobolus Moves
Did you see the cool moves of Pilobolus last night on the Academy Awards? They're a modern dance company that has been making sculptural and shape oriented dances for years. Well if you didn't catch the show last night, here's a video of their Oscar performances.

Class Act: Cardio Theater
One way I beat boredom while doing cardio inside is to watch movies. I'll start one and watch about 30 minutes or more, and then the next time I work out, I'm excited to continue where I left off in the flick. I'm lucky to have a machine at home I can walk or run on, but if you don't, check out Cardio Theater.
Don't Blow Your Healthy Habits at the Movies This Weekend
It's a big movie weekend, for sure. With New Moon finally out, I've already committed myself to spend an afternoon at the theater — the only complication is that I'm not so fond of the movie-theater fare. It's an admittedly challenging place to stick to healthy food choices, since there usually aren't any to begin with.
