Krakowski was almost the photo-negative of Calista Flockhart's title character: brassy, eccentric, unconcerned by others' opinions. Similarly, her character in 30 Rock, Jenna Maroney, acted as the bookend to Tina Fey's Liz Lemon, Krakowski untouched by self-awareness, Fey beset by it.

I'm at a point in my career when I'm tired of this being a secret. I'm tired of people debating if I'm a real person or if I'm three men. I am a real person, and I have a real identity, and I don't have anything to hide.

Olivia Rodrigo will bring You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love to life on Saturday Night Live next month, pulling double-duty as host and musical guest on May 2.

I was publicly humiliated, called a fraud, a fake. It was devastating. I was so young, and I thought it would define me forever.

I want people to go on a journey. Some people say their inner child is being healed - my music is doing something for people. So when I'm writing the new music, which is nearly finished, I'm picturing things like Coldplay and Massive Attack shows where they have elements of organic human music, real vocals, and no autotune. That's where I'm going.

"It has been a bucket-list dream of mine to perform on a New York stage, and I couldn't think of a better way to do that than becoming a part of the 11 to Midnight family," Morris said in a statement.

"I couldn't hear her. She was walking away," she explained. "And I was like, 'Oh, she's kind of a comedy queen. She's just being funny.' Like, 'I love you. Wah, wah, wah.' Like, I thought that would be something she would do. And so I was like, 'Oh, my God, that's cute and funny.' Turns out she didn't say that."

Less than two weeks after Wicked: For Good got entirely shut out from the Oscars, Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande won a Grammy ... for a song from the first Wicked movie. During the Grammy Awards Premiere Ceremony prior to the televised awards show, Erivo and Grande won a Grammy for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance for "Defying Gravity," which is from the first Wicked film.

In the case of his latest film, Gail Daughtry and the Celebrity Sex Pass, there's a scene in which a character tries in vain to close a door on Gail (Zoey Deutch) and her ragtag group of friends over and over and over again. At the movie's Sundance Film Festival premiere at the Eccles, laughter rippled across the room. It was funny, but then it kept going, and then it got funnier and funnier, the enthusiasm contagious.

As Broadway heads into the busy spring theater season, a wave of new productions and high-profile revivals is arriving across Midtown. This year's lineup leans heavily on recognizable titles including revivals of classics and stage adaptations of familiar screen properties as well as star casting.

Beginning April 21, Jeremy Jordan will step into the role of Bobby Darin in Just in Time, the immersive nightclub musical that quietly became one of last season's surprise hits at Circle in the Square Theatre. Jordan succeeds Jonathan Groff, who plays Darin through March 29, in a production that has turned Circle in the Square into a swinging supper clubcomplete with floor seating, banquettes, and a live band that puts audiences inches from the action.

"I've always believed that music is about connection and emotional truth. What interested me here was the idea of using my voice and new tools in service of expression, not instead of it. This project respects the artist's voice, the artist's choices, and the artist's ownership. I grew up watching my parents create wonderful dreams that were owned by other people. ElevenLabs makes it possible for anyone to be a creator and owner. That matters."
