Have you been wondering what the full version of Jabba Flow from Star Wars: The Force Awakens sounds like? Well not only did Lin-Manuel Miranda and J.J. Abrams perform the song they wrote outside the backstage door of Hamilton, Lucasfilm made it available to download on iTunes.
What a wonderful present from them to us on May the Fourth Be With You. So party like you are at Maz Kanata’s castle because you know you want to.
Michael MacILwee dressed up as T-Rex and danced to I Hope I Get It from A Chorus Line. I think we can all agree he got it. I mean, not only did he pull off the Jazz number flawlessly, he did it in a huge costume that would make walking seem difficult.
Someone get him on Broadway because he is a star!

After a 16 year hiatus, Cats is returning to Broadway this summer. The Andrew Lloyd Webber musical used to be the longest running show on Broadway, and now it has a chance to reclaim that title if The Phantom of the Opera ever closes.
So if you have never had a chance to see Cats, skip it. It sucks.
Wayne Brady is a good looking man, and turns out he is equally as good looking as a Drag Queen. The Let’s Make a Deal host started his Broadway run in Kinky Boots this weekend, and he will be causing a lot of people to have kinky thoughts. So kinky, it will knock their boots off. Seriously, don’t you think he looks super fierce?
It’s a sad day on the Great White Way because the curtain is coming down on Mamma Mia! in September according to Playbill. The curtain went up on the Broadway musical written around Abba’s music in 2001 and will end a month before its 14th anniversary and 5,765 performances. While that is a long run for any show, it is not long enough for this wonderful musical turned in to a movie. At least we can take some solace that it will go down in history as the 8th longest running Broadway show and it will play on for one last summer!
