She Loves Me Returns The Jerry Bock and Sheldon Harnick musical, She Loves Me , will return to Broadway next season, in spring 2016. The revival will be part of Roundabout's 50th anniversary season. (The theatre company held a benefit, one-night-only concert of the show in 2011.) But that's not all: Tony winner Laura Benanti ( Gypsy , Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown ) and Josh Radnor ( Disgraced , How I Met Your Mother ) will star in the production, to be directed by Scott Ellis ( The Mystery of Edwin Drood , You Can't Take it With You ). In addition to the Bock and Harnick score, She Loves Me features a book by Joe Masteroff ( Cabaret ); the musical is based on the novel, The Shop Around the Corner , which is also the source material for the Tom Hanks–Meg Ryan flick, You've Got Mail . Specific dates for the production have not been announced, and it is not confirmed whether She Loves Me will play at the American Airlines Theatre or Studio 54. The ...

Oscar Wrap Up

The 85th Academy Awards are in the books. And it was a great show, in my opinion. Sure, it ran over and some parts were more engaging than others, but considering that they have to actually hand out awards - even in the categories you don't care about - it was good. We'll get into the ceremony and winners in a moment. First, of course, the fashion. Jennifer Lawrence, just 22, looks more grown up and sophisticated in her white Dior gown than she has on the red carpet this season. What I loved most about her look, though, was the backwards necklace draping down her back. It's a simple choice that made a great statement. Meanwhile Zoe Saldana gets the award for most improved. In 2010, she wore a similar look (in that it was purple ombre) and it did. not. work. This year, she gets it right. I don't love the flowers on top, but I get it, and I like the structure of the dress, the belted waist and the flowing, multi-hued bottom. Next on the red carpet, Metal...

SAG Awards Wrap Up

Image
The 19th annual SAG awards, which honor both film and television, were handed out last night (in a, thankfully, efficient, two hour ceremony, I might add). It's always a fun night, with actors opening the ceremony by talking about how they got into the business (I particularly liked Hal Holbrook's and Sofia Vergara's stories) and then, in acceptance speeches, continuing to talk about the community of actors. Herein, red carpet coverage and the full list of winners. You can also view the list of winners and learn more about SAG-AFTRA on sagawards.org .  We'll begin with Amy Poehler and Tina Fey, fresh off their Golden Globe hosting gig . Both look great in black Oscar de la Renta dresses, with Fey looking soft and pretty and Poehler looking super sexy. Next up is our sparkle showdown. On the left we have Helen Hunt in Romona Keveza and on the right is Jennifer Garner in Oscar de la Renta. (de la Renta was well represented on the red carpet.) Hunt's look ...
