Zachary Levi's career took a hit in 2024, and he's further from being a real-life superhero than he's ever been. The Shazam! actor shared several conspiracy theories on his social media that made him less popular with fans and fellow actors.

In a new interview on That's a Gay Ass podcast, Zachary Levi's former Broadway co-star Laura Benanti shared she is not a fan of the actor. Benanti and Levi shared the stage in the second Broadway revival of the musical She Loves Me, where she played Amalia and he played Georg. Their co-stars also included 30 Rock's Jane Krakowski, Byron Jennings, Michael McGrath, and late actor Gavin Creel, among others.

There’s no love lost between She Loves Me lovebirds, Laura Benanti and Zachary Levi.

Though they shared the Broadway stage in a successful and Tony Award-winning 2016 musical revival, Benanti made it clear in a new podcast interview that she was never a fan of Levi, who at the time was a successful TV star from NBC’s Chuck and on his way to movie stardom as the title character in DC’s Shazam! “I never liked him,” Benanti told Eric Williams on his That’s a Gay Ass Podcast. “Everyone was like, ‘He’s so great!’ And I was like, ‘No, he’s not. He’s sucking up all the fucking energy in this room. He wants to mansplain everybody’s part to them.'”

Directed by Scott Ellis and choreographed by Warren Carlyle, the Roundabout Theatre Company production starred Benanti and Levi opposite Jane Krakowski, Gavin Creel, Byron Jennings,...

Days of Wine and Roses, the critically acclaimed musical adaptation of the 1962 film, will play its final Broadway performance on Sunday, March 31, just about two months after its January 28 opening night.

The production becomes the third in recent weeks to announce that it would vacate the Broadway boards just as the industry gears up for one of the busiest springs in memory. Spamalot, which opened last November, announced yesterday that it would close Sunday, April 7, while A Beautiful Noise, The Neil Diamond Musical will play its final performance on Sunday, June 30; the production opened December 4, 2022.

All three of the soon-to-close shows have been struggling at the box office in recent weeks. Last week, Days of Wine and Roses, with a book by Craig Lucas and music and lyrics by Adam Guettel, grossed just $364,686, filling only 55% of seats at Broadway’s Studio 54.

The musical, which began previews on Broadway January 6 and...

Sixty-two years after the release of the film “Days of Wine and Roses,” the Oscar-winning movie by writer J.P. Miller and director Blake Edwards, a musical adaptation has opened on Broadway with a score by Adam Guettel. The story of two characters brought together and torn asunder by alcohol stars Kelli O’Hara and Brian d’Arcy James in the roles played in the movie by Lee Remick and Jack Lemmon. The production opened at Studio 54 on Jan. 28.

In addition to reuniting Guettel and O’Hara, who collaborated on “The Light in the Piazza,” the librettist Craig Lucas from that musical contributed the book for this new venture. The ensemble cast includes Tabitha Lawing and Byron Jennings in pivotal roles under the helm of director Michael Greif.

Theatre critics were largely positive about this new Guettel musical. It earns a Critic’s Pick from Laura Collins-Hughes (New York Times), who praises the “superb” performances,...

Netflix has officially canceled the Neil Patrick Harris comedy almost six months after its series premiere on the streaming service.

"Michael Lawson (Neil Patrick Harris) seems to have it all figured out," reads the official synopsis for the comedy from Darren Star.

"But when Colin unexpectedly moves out on the eve of his 50th birthday, Michael is completely blindsided," Netflix teases.

An emotional Michelle Williams praised FX and Fox 21 Television Studios, thanking them for their support and for “paying me equally” in her acceptance speech for her Emmy win for outstanding actress in a limited series or movie for Fosse/Verdon. This was the four-time Oscar-nominated actress’ first Emmy win.

Williams, who won the trophy for her starring role as Broadway dancer/choreographer/singer Gwen Verdon in FX’s Fosse/Verdon, urged pay equality for women, particularly women of color.

“When you put value into a person it empowers that person to get in touch with their own inherent value, and where do they put that value they put it into their work and so the next time that a woman, especially a woman of color because she stands to make 52 cents on the dollar compared to her male white counterpart, tells you what she needs in order to do her job,...

With Harry Potter and the Cursed Child set to make its Broadway debut this spring, producers Sonia Friedman and Colin Callender unveiled the elaborate new marquee at the newly-restored Lyric Theatre. The marquee reveal comes as the producers get ready for their big opening, with previews starting March 16 and the play's official opening set for April 22. The marquee was created by Cursed Child set designer Christine Jones and International Scenic Supervisor Brett J. Banakis, which features a massive 150-foot, 50,000-pound wing spanning from the marquee to the top of the theater, while the iconic nest with child sits atop the theater. Here's what Jones and Banakis had to say about the marquee in a joint statement.

Regarding the photo above, Spielberg said that Day-Lewis...

Spielberg previously said that "we’re only focusing in on the last four months of Abraham Lincoln’s life." That it's "not a battlefield movie.

Here's our first look at Daniel Day-Lewis in full costume as Abraham Lincoln on the Richmond, Virginia set of Steven Spielberg's highly anticipated film Linclon. In a previous image we saw Day-Lewis sporting the Lincoln look while eating lunch, but he was only wearing regular clothes in that image.
