This isn’t Michelle Williams’ first Emmys rodeo. The golden laurel has taken residence in her home since 2019, when she won for outstanding lead actress in a limited series or movie for portraying Tony-winning actress and dancer Gwen Verdon in the FX biographical drama Fosse/Verdon. Now she’s back in the same race for Dying for Sex, also on FX, but that doesn’t make campaigning any easier.

“I get so nervous,” Williams, 44, confesses. “It’s a lot of adrenaline and I still have to keep taking my own advice, which is to try and stay in the moment and enjoy it because it’s all over so quickly.”

Williams is nominated for her portrayal of real-life podcaster Molly Kochan, who, upon a terminal cancer diagnosis in 2015, separated from her husband of 15 years and embarked on a journey of sexual exploration that included multiple casual liaisons with a variety of male suitors.

Tituss Burgess playing his final performance in Oh, Mary! on Broadway over the weekend, alongside original company members Conrad Ricamora, James Scully, and Bianca Leigh. Ricamora, who originated the role of Abraham Lincoln, was nominated for a Tony Award for his performance. Tony-winners Cole Escola and Sam Pinkleton appeared at the curtain call to congratulate the cast members on their final bow. "It's been my dream to see you play this role," Escola told Burgess. "You've made my dream come true and you've also showed me parts of this character and this show that I didn't know existed and I thank you so so so much." Escola then addressed Ricamora, Scully, and Leigh, who have been with the production since its early stages. "They...

Simone Ashley, known for Bridgerton, is set to star in the much-anticipated The Devil Wears Prada 2. Filmmaker David Frankel is returning in a directorial role alongside the leading trio of Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, and Emily Blunt in the sequel to the iconic 2006 blockbuster. The sequel will focus on Miranda Priestly struggling to adapt to the changing landscape of the industry.

And Simone Ashley has also joined the ensemble. Since the film underwent production, the 30-year-old actress has been spotted serving several stunning looks on the set of the upcoming movie. However, details regarding her role remain under wraps.

Ashley is not the only new name in the upcoming sequel; other new names include Lucy Liu, Conrad Ricamora, Justin Theroux, Pauline Chalamet, B.J. Novak, Kenneth Branagh, Helen J. Shen, and comedian Caleb Hearon.

On Sunday, Conrad Ricamora, a Tony-nominated actor currently starring in Oh, Mary! on Broadway, announced the creation of a scholarship fund for Asian American male actors.

The idea for the fund came from “decades of erasure” of Asian American men in the theater industry, Ricamora says, but also took place days after a casting controversy at Maybe Happy Ending, which has prompted outcry from members of community.

The Tony Award-winning musical, which came to Broadway from South Korea, announced that a white actor, Andrew Barth Feldman, would be replacing Darren Criss, who had won a Tony Award for his role and became the first Asian American actor to win best performance by an actor in a leading role in a musical. The show follows two robots living in Seoul, and had featured actors of Asian descent in the leading roles and understudies in its various stage iterations, with Criss pointing...

Conrad Ricamora has launched a scholarship for Asian American male actors. The stage and screen star posted the link to a GoFundMe page where people can donate to the fund. At press time, he has raised $33,894 of the $55,000 goal, and has received·208 donations. The scholarship, for Asian American male actors pursuing Bfa or Mfa acting degrees, is called The Right to Be There, because, as Ricamora writes, "no young actor should grow up feeling like their presence is conditional. Not in their training, and not on the stage." Ricamora launched the fund with $8,000 (because 8 is a lucky Chinese number) of his own money, and he plans to match the first $10,000 of donations that come in. "I've been carrying a lot of grief lately," Ricamora wrote...

Anne Hathaway surprised the world by unveiling the first official image of her return as Andy Sachs in ‘The Devil Wears Prada 2‘, the much-awaited follow-up to the iconic 2006 film. The photograph, shared by both the actress and 20th Century Studios on social media, sparked an enthusiastic response from fans and significantly raised expectations for the project.

The new instalment will once again feature original stars Meryl Streep, Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci, with David Frankel returning as director and Aline Brosh McKenna as screenwriter — the same creative team behind the original success. While plot details remain under wraps, the image shows Hathaway in a contemporary setting, accompanied by the caption “Andy Sachs 2025”, hinting at a modern-day update to the character nearly two decades after her on-screen debut.

Drama Desk nominee Rachel Bloom has joined the highly anticipated sequel to The Devil Wears Prada, which recently began production. Deadline reports that she will appear alongside the newly announced Patrick Brammall, as well as Broadway favorites Conrad Ricamora and Helen J. Shen. Details on Bloom and Brammall's roles are currently being kept under wraps, but the performers will star alongside returning cast members Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci. Broadway alum Tracie Thoms is also set to appear in the film, reprising the role of 'Lily' from the 2006 picture. Also new to the film is Kenneth Branagh, who will play the husband of Streep's Miranda Priestly. Other new additions to the cast also include Lucy Liu,...

The Devil Wears Prada is one of the most iconic films of the 2000s. Considering the film's long-lasting legacy, 20th Century Fox is bringing it back with The Devil Wears Prada 2.

The sequel is officially in production, as the studio confirmed in late June. The main cast, which consisted of Meryl Streep as Miranda Priestly, Anne Hathaway as Andy Sachs, Emily Blunt as Emily Charlton, and Stanley Tucci as Nigel, is officially coming back. However, the sequel will feature some brand-new faces, and Deadline reports Rachel Bloom and Patrick Brammall are the latest newcomers.

Bloom, who co-created and starred in Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, and Brammall, who co-created, executive-produced, and starred in Colin From Accounts, have just been cast, but there are no details on their characters yet. The sequel will also mark a reunion between Bloom and screenwriter Aline Brosch McKenna, as the duo created Crazy Ex-Girlfriend together. McKenna had written the 2006 original,...

Exclusive: Count Crazy Ex-Girlfriend co-creator and star Rachel Bloom and Colin From Accounts co-creator, EP and star Patrick Brammall on the runway for 20th Century Studios’ The Devil Wear Prada 2.

The duo joined original stars Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, Stanley Tucci which has director David Frankel returning as well as scribe Aline Brosh McKenna. In fact, the sequel reps a reunion for McKenna and Bloom, as the two co-created Crazy Ex-Girlfriend together.

The sequel follows Streep’s Runway editor-in-chief, Miranda Priestly who is squaring off against her former assistant Emily Charlton (Blunt) who is now a big-time executive in fashion circles; the two competing for ad revenue.

Bloom and Brammall’s roles are being kept under wraps. They’re also starring with a new cast of characters including Kenneth Branagh as Priestly’s husband, Lucy Liu, Justin Theroux, Bj Novak, Caleb Hearon, Tracie Thoms, Helen J Chen, Tibor Feldman,...

With filming underway for The Devil Wears Prada 2, Anne Hathaway and 20th Century Studios are giving everyone a first look the actress’ Andy Sachs character, and something seems to be missing: her signature bangs.

Sharing the photo on Instagram, with no comment other than “Andy Sachs 2025,” Hathaway looks dressed for success in a matching pinstriped vest and slacks, with pearls and a necklace accentuating the look.

Filming began at the end of June, with Prada 2 set for a May 1, 2026 release. Joining Hathaway as Prada returnees are Meryl Streep, Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci.

Hathaway is returning alongside original co-stars Meryl Streep, Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci, plus director David Frankel and screenwriter Aline Brosh McKenna.

“Andy Sachs 2025,” Hathaway captioned the first-look photo of her character. In the original, Hathaway’s Andy was an aspiring journalist who becomes the personal assistant to Miranda Priestly (Streep), the ruthless editor-in-chief of a fashion magazine named Runway. Plot details for “The Devil Wears Prada 2” remain under wraps, so it’s currently unknown what exactly Andy is up to all these years later. The character quit Runway and joined a major New York City newspaper at the end of the original film.

The Devil Wears Pradasequel has added several new cast members to its glittering ensemble — and we know what you're thinking, a star-studded cast? For The Devil Wears Prada 2? Groundbreaking. But in this case, it is groundbreaking, as the high-profile group join Anne Hathaway, Meryl Streep, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci, who are all reprising their beloved roles from the original 2006 film, alongside Kenneth Branagh, who was previously announced to be playing a character with a close connection to Streep's Miranda Priestly.

Fan-favorite Bridgerton star Simone Ashley, who is best known for playing leading lady Kate Sharma in Netflix's regency romance series, is one of the newest additions to The Devil Wears Prada 2 cast, sources told Deadline. Lucy Liu, Justin Theroux, B.J. Novak, and Pauline Chalamet have also joined the call sheet, alongside Broadway stars Helen J. Shen and Conrad Ricamora, as well as comedian Caleb Hearon, per Variety.

Meryl Streep has gotten some more co-stars for her upcoming sequel to The Devil Wears Prada. Some more returning stars have also been revealed.

Per Variety, newcomers to the Devil Wears Prada 2 cast include Lucy Liu (Kill Bill), Justin Theroux (Beetlejuice Beetlejuice), B.J. Novak (The Office), and Pauline Chalamet (The Sex Lives of College Girls). Broadway stars Helen J. Shen (Maybe Happy Ending) and Conrad Ricamora, as well as comedian Caleb Hearon, have also joined the cast. Details about their roles have not yet been revealed.

Additionally, it has been revealed that Tracie Thoms will return to reprise her role from the original film as Lily, the best friend of Anne Hathaway's character. Tibor Feldman is also back as Elias-Clark chairman Irv Ravitz. Streep and Hathaway are reprising their roles as well, as are Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci. However, Adrian Grenier is not expected to return as Nate Cooper.

Can Lucy Liu, Justin Theroux, B.J. Novak and Pauline Chalamet spell Gabbana?

Their fashion knowledge will be put to the test as the actors join the cast of “The Devil Wears Prada 2.” And they won’t be the only new faces around Runway magazine. Other newcomers to the call sheet include Broadway stars Helen J. Shen (“Maybe Happy Ending”) and Conrad Ricamora, as well as comedian Caleb Hearon.

Meanwhile, two recognizable characters, Tracie Thoms, who played Lily, the handbag-loving best friend of Anne Hathaway’s character, and Tibor Feldman, who portrayed Irv Ravitz, the chairman of Runway’s parent company Elias-Clark, will reprise their roles in the sequel.

They will appear alongside the original film’s stars, Meryl Streep, Hathaway, Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci.

Disney’s 20th Century Studios is backing the sequel, which is currently in production and set to open theatrically on May 1, 2026. Though plot details haven’t been confirmed,...

The Devil Wears Prada 2 has added eight new stars to its cast. Filming is currently underway for the sequel that will see Anne Hathaway, Meryl Streep, Stanley Tucci, and Emily Blunt returning. Kenneth Branagh was the first new addition to The Devil Wears Prada 2 cast.

The sequel will see Streep's character, Miranda Priestly, grappling with the current state of the print industry, which is struggling due to the rise of digital media. Miranda's previous assistant, Emily Charlton (Blunt), is now a rival and prominent executive in the fashion world, and the two will compete for ad revenue. Branagh will play Miranda's husband.

Deadlinenow reports that Bridgerton's Simone Ashley has joined The Devil Wears Prada 2 cast. Details about her new character remain under wraps. Ashley previously played Lady Kathani "Kate" Bridgerton in 11 episodes across seasons 2 and 3 of the hit Netflix series.

According to Variety, Lucy Liu, Justin Theroux,...

Airports always carry an air of possibility; everywhere you look, people are doing something new, visiting home, or embarking on a new chapter. Moments of transport in different entertainment mediums pack all that uncertainty into their gutters and move the viewer into a new headspace to consider what has been and what is to come. A show like "How to Die Alone" did double-duty in that regard, because Natasha Rothwell's Hulu series showed how much TV has grown in the last half-decade, and how far the medium still has to go. The streamer decided to cancel the series, citing low viewership, failing to recognize potential when it was staring them right in the face.

"How to Die Alone" is a comedy/drama starring Natasha Rothwell as Mel, an airport worker who's been in emotional limbo for some time and awakens to the possibility of her life being more than...

Jinkx Monsoon will take over the role of Mary Todd Lincoln in Broadway’s smash hit comedy Oh, Mary! for an eight-week engagement beginning in August, producers announced.

Also today, producers announced that the show’s Broadway run has been extended, with tickets now on sale through January 4. (Tickets previously had been on sale through September 24.)

Monsoon’s turn in the bratty curl ringlet wig follows an encore six-week engagement by Tituss Burgess, who had played Mrs. Lincoln earlier this spring when the role’s originator Cole Escola took a temporary break. Escola, the play’s writer, just won a Tony Award for their performance as the president’s desperate wife.

Escola’s final performance is on June 21. Co-stars Conrad Ricamora, James Scully, Bianca Leigh and Tony Macht will remain with the show through August 2.

Monsoon, known from RuPaul’s Drag Race, takes over the role starting Aug. 4 for an eight-week engagement through Sept. 27. Before Monsoon’s run, Tituss Burgess will play Mary Todd Lincoln from June 23 through Aug. 2.

The role was originated by Cole Escola, who also wrote the play and is currently starring in the Broadway production. Escola, who recently won a Tony Award for their portrayal of Mary Todd Lincoln, will play their final performance June 21. Oh, Mary! Director Sam Pinkleton also won a Tony.

Monsoon is currently starring in Pirates! The Penzance musical through July 27, and has previously appeared in Chicago on Broadway and Little Shop of Horrors Off-Broadway.

After hosting the Tony Awards, Cynthia Erivo and crew headed to the Russian Tea Room in New York, where award winners and celebrities decided to shed the formalities of the evening and skip to the celebration.

“I’m sick of talking. I think we should all dance now,” Erivo announced to the starry crowd, after being handed a mic while sitting on top of a banquette in a short black taffeta dress.

At the party, aptly named Cyn City, the Wicked star led a crowd up to the second floor of the famed New York venue, where a dance circle formed around her as Abba’s “Gimme Gimme” played. Dancers included Julianne Hough; Danielle Brooks, who starred in The Color Purple on Broadway with Erivo; Adrienne Warren, currently starring in The Last Five Years on Broadway; Dylan Mulvaney; and Lena Waithe, as the music transitioned to Beyoncé tunes and other pop hits.

It might not have spelled awards hardware for Sally Field in Steven Spielberg’s “Lincoln” at the Oscars in 2013, but Mary Todd Lincoln eventually had her day at the Tony Awards on Sunday.

Star-playwright Cole Escola won the Best Actor in a Play Tony for their riotously funny work in the outlandish comedy “Oh, Mary!,” marking the first time a nonbinary performer has scored a Tony win for any play category for acting.

Escola portrayed Mary Todd Lincoln as a boozy cabaret singer hopeful in a John Waters-style madcap production, in which she rants and raves while a queer-leaning Abe Lincoln (Conrad Ricamora) is heading toward a pre-determined assassination.

Escola has enjoyed a healthy pre-cursor awards lead-up, winning Drama Desk and Outer Critics Circle Awards for their high-wire act of a performance. Recently while on a planned leave, “American Primeval” star Betty Gilpin and “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt” breakout Tituss Burgess...

Broadway’s history books might remember the 2024-2025 season as the year Hollywood stars – George Clooney, Denzel Washington, Jake Gyllenhaal, Kieran Culkin, Sarah Snook – sent box office revenue (and ticket prices) soaring to record heights. Or maybe the year of Audra McDonald and Nicole Scherzinger. But I’ll remember this Broadway season as being just so very funny. Oh, Mary!, Eureka Day, Death Becomes Her, even the tender humor of Maybe Happy Ending, all supplied audiences with something in very short supply outside the theater this year: Laughter. That’s the best legacy of the 2024-2025 Broadway season.

With that in mind, and much gratitude, here are my predictions for this Sunday’s 78th Annual Tony Awards.

Before the big, superstar-driven megahits Good Night,...

Sutton Foster, Bernadette Peters, Lea Salonga, Idina Menzel, and (if I may invoke her name) Patti LuPone would have been a monster of an all-star Tony nomination lineup in any other season. But those past winners, each a major force in musical theater history, missed the ballot despite their (almost uniformly) strong showings on Broadway this year.

If it’s uncouth to define a season by who didn’t make the Tony cut, that group of also-rans is a sign of the riches on offer. And if this season was in part distinguished by the arrival of a cavalcade of Hollywood A-listers, the nominations also highlight how many Broadway mainstays have set up residence to deliver excellence year after year: Nominees Jonathan Groff, Danya Taymor, Kara Young, Justin Peck, and Dede Ayite all won Tonys last season.

So if not quite every gem of the season is in the mix this Sunday,...

The world will descend on New York on Sunday night, by way of the 78th Tony Awards. Shows set in the U.S., the U.K., Cuba, Italy, and Iran all make their way to the nominees circle. Not to mention a show from South Korea projected to win more Tonys than any other production, potentially the first one ever to premiere in Asia and win best musical.

And when I say “projected,” I mean that mathematically. Every year, I run a statistical model based on precursor awards, which categories a show is nominated in, blended critic predictions, and betting markets to project the odds that each nominee will emerge victorious in every category. After another wonderful year on Broadway, with 42 new shows opening and 29 of them receiving nominations, it’s time to get excited for the big night with a data-based forecast at who might triumph at Radio City...

"The jokes are always so strong, but the surprising thing is that people have been so moved by the show as well," says Conrad Ricamora of the hit new play Oh, Mary! The actor stars opposite playwright Cole Escola, and earned his first career Tony nomination for matching the zany, camp energy of the writer.

Ricamora has been with the production since its original off-Broadway run, and believes that much of its success is because of the seriousness behind the jokes. In a recent Gold Derby interview, he discusses the commitment to the seriousness behind the hysterics, his love of classic plays, and his thoughts about a potential sequel to the fan-favorite movie Fire Island.

The best of Broadway and Off-Broadway were honored at the 2025 Drama League Awards and Nicole Scherzinger took home the most coveted acting award of the year!

The event took place on Friday afternoon (May 16) at the Ziegfeld Ballroom in New York City.

While the Tony Awards gives out eight acting awards each year to recognize the best in both plays and musicals with gendered categories for leading and supporting performances, the Drama League Awards only gives out one acting award each year. The Distinguished Performance Award has dozens of nominees and combines all performances into one category, making it incredibly difficult to ever win the award. Once you win once, you can never win again, so some actors receive honorary notices when they return to Broadway.

Nicole won the this year’s Distinguished Performance Award for her work in the musical Sunset Blvd.

Chappell Roan just caught a performance of one of Broadway’s biggest hit plays!

The Grammy-winning singer met up with star Cole Escola backstage after a performance of Oh, Mary! on Wednesday (May 7) at the Lyceum Theatre in New York City.

Oh, Mary! is a dark comedy about a miserable, suffocated Mary Todd Lincoln in the weeks leading up to Abraham Lincoln’s assassination. The play is nominated for five Tony Awards including Best Play.

While backstage at the show, Chappell also met co-stars Conrad Ricamora, James Scully, Bianca Leigh, and Tony Macht.

Oh, Mary! has been extended on Broadway yet again with Cole playing their final performance on June 21. They will be succeeded in the show by returning star Tituss Burgess, who will play a six-week return engagement from June 23 through August 2. Tickets are currently on sale through September 28 and future casting has not yet been revealed.

Buena Vista Social Club, Death Becomes Her, and Maybe Happy Ending lead the 2025 Tony Awards nominees, scoring 10 nominations each. Dead Outlaw, John Proctor is the Villain, Sunset Blvd, and The Hills of California earned seven nominations, followed by Floyd Collins, Just in Time, Purpose, and The Picture of Dorian Gray with six.

Among the stars earning Tony Award nominations are George Clooney, Mia Farrow, Jonathan Groff, Darren Criss, Bob Odenkirk, Sadie Sink, and Sarah Snook. And with her nomination for Gypsy, Audra McDonald is now the most Tony-nominated performer in Broadway history.

“I’m so grateful, and that’s overwhelming to think about. I’m so lucky. The one thing I always wanted to do growing up, one thing that gave me joy and kind of gave me purpose and made me feel most like myself was to perform theater,” said...

While Cole Escola is usually ready with a quippy response, on Tony nominations day, they can’t help but be genuine.

“I guess if I’m allowed to be sincere, today would be the day,” Escola said.

Escola was nominated for a Tony Award for their role as Mary Todd Lincoln in ‘Oh, Mary!’ The play, which Escola wrote, also received a nomination for best play. In total, the production received five Tony nods, including one for Escola’s cast member Conrad Ricamora, who plays Mary’s husband, and for director Sam Pinkleton.

Escola landed on the idea for the play in 2009, with the starting point of “What if Abe’s assassination wasn’t such a bad thing for Mary Todd Lincoln?” What resulted was a raucous reimagining of Mary Todd Lincoln as a wannabe cabaret singer with ringlet curls and a penchant for drinking. The play originated Off-Broadway at...

Well, big weekly grosses and even bigger stars can’t guarantee a Tony Awards nomination.

Broadway does what Broadway wants, so no Best Play nominations (or anything else) for huge moneymaker Othello, and no Best Play noms for Good Night, and Good Luck, Stranger Things: The First Shadow and The Picture of Dorian Gray. Same for the critical favorite Cult of Love.

While Good Night and Dorian Gray weren’t nominated for Best Play, their big stars — George Clooney and Sarah Snook, respectively — were nominated for their performances, as expected. In fact, Dorian Gray, in which Snook plays all the characters from the Oscar Wilde novel, has the distinction of being the most nominated solo show in Tony history, placing in six categories: Snook’s performance, Kip Williams’ direction, and nods for scenic, lighting, sound and costume design.

With today's announcement of the Tony Awards nominations, Daniel Dae Kim has made history as the first Aapi nominee in the Lead Actor in a Play category. Kim was recognized for his performance in the revival of Yellow Face, where he plays a satirical version of playwright David Henry Hwang. Kim's nomination is also part of a record-setting year for Asian representation at the Tonys.

Bd Wong was the first actor of Asian descent to score a Tony. Coincidentally, his 1988 win for Featured Actor in a Play came courtesy of another Hwang play, M. Butterfly. Since then, Iranian performer Arian Moayed has competed in the same category, with nominations for Bengal Tiger in the Baghdad Zoo (2011) and A Doll’s House (2023). Paul Chahidi was nominated in the same race in 2014 for Twelfth Night, then Michael Aronov won the featured prize in 2017 for Oslo.

Other past Asian nominees include Lea Salonga (Miss...

Othello, one of the most expensive productions on Broadway, led by Denzel Washington and Jake Gyllenhaal, was notably shut out of the nominations.

Audra McDonald received her 11th Tony Award nomination for her role as Rose in Gypsy on Broadway, becoming the most Tony-nominated performer in history. She had previously held the record...
