A radical restaging of Hollywood film noir musical “Sunset Boulevard” was the big winner on Sunday at the London stage Olivier Awards.

Michael McGrath, a Broadway character actor who shined in zany, feel-good musicals and won a Tony Award for “Nice Work If You Can Get It,” has died.

Dozens of notebooks, scripts, speeches, drafts of letters, artwork and even signed baseballs owned by the late playwright Neil Simon have been donated to the Library of Congress.

Actor Robert Morse, who won a Tony Award as a hilariously brash corporate climber in “How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying” and a second one a generation later as the brilliant, troubled Truman Capote in “Tru,” has died.

Broadway theatergoers will have to keep their masks up through at least May 31, the Broadway League said Friday.

The U.S. is getting a first glimpse of what it’s like to experience COVID-19 outbreaks during this new phase of living with the virus, and the roster of the newly infected is studded with stars.

The second shoe has dropped at “Plaza Suite” on Broadway.

“Hadestown,” the brooding musical about the underworld, has set its Broadway reopening date on Sept. 2, jumping ahead of such megahits as “Hamilton” and “Wicked” to position itself as the first show to welcome audiences on Broadway since the pandemic.

Many Broadway productions are scrambling to resume ticket sales in the coming days to welcome theater-goers this fall after city and state leaders have green-lit a reopening of the Great White Way at full capacity.

CORRECTS DAY OF CONCERT - FILE - Patti Smith attends a special screening of "Pavarotti" at the iPic Theater in New York on May 28, 2019. Smith performed six songs as well as read poetry and excerpts from her book “Just Kids” in the Beaux-Arts Court at the museum, her voice bouncing off the skylight 60 feet above. It was a concert to also honor museum workers and drew just under 50 people, all socially distanced in widely spaced chairs. The Smith concert came on the same day in 1989 that Mapplethorpe died at age 42. It also marked the one-year anniversary of when Smith last performed live, at The Fillmore in San Francisco.

Amid the national reckoning on racism, the memorial to the first Black regiment of the Union Army, the Civil War unit popularized in the movie "Glory, is facing scrutiny. White commander out front; Black soldiers in the background. It’s the first thing you see.”Amid the national reckoning on racism, the Shaw memorial is the latest and, perhaps, one of the more curious to receive scrutiny.

Saint-Gaudens spent 14 years creating a richly detailed bas relief, using Black men of different ages as models for his realistic soldiers.

Saturday Night Live returned this weekend with yet another cold open sketch lampooning President Donald Trump's impeachment woes. After Guiliani then immediately left to have yet another incriminating interview with Sean Hannity, Pompeo admitted, "We should probably get our stories straight." "Yeah, because even if they're nor straight now, they could be converted to be straight later on," Pence replied, for one of the biggest laughs of the night. Broderick's Pompeo then paraphrased one of the most iconic lines from Ferris Bueller's Day Off: "Impeachment moves pretty fast. SNL airs live, coast-to-coast on Saturdays at 11:30 p.m.

Ferris Bueller is all grown up, and now Matthew Broderick is the one trying to keep a group of unruly teens in line as the principal of a Glendale high school on Netflix's Daybreak. "Some of that was in there when I first read it," Broderick explained to ET's Leanne Aguilera during a sit-down at New York Comic-Con. Colin Ford leads the show's young cast as 17-year-old Josh Wheeler, who sets out on a journey to find his missing girlfriend. In that sense, Ford plays the show's Ferris-type...opposite the real Ferris. "He's a seasoned veteran pro, so getting to watch you do your thing is so cool," Ford told Broderick.
