On Stage: Another Idol Pays Her Rent, and More
American Idol Season 1 finalist Tamyra Gray will join the cast of Broadway's Rent on May 29. During her run, she'll share the stage with original players Adam Pascal and Anthony Rapp, who, despite middle age, return to their humble roots July 30.... Nathan Lane and Luke Duke himself, Tom Wopat, have been invited to appear in a workshop of Catch Me If You Can, a musicalization of the Steven Spielberg film. The same team that turned Hairspray into a Broadway blockbuster hope to cast Lane in the Tom Hanks role and Wopat as the juvenile con's dad. No word on who will fill Leonardo DiCaprio's disguises.... Weeds scribe Rinne Groff and others are turning Saved! into an off-Broadway musical to premiere next spring. —Reporting by Raven Snook

That's so exciting for Tamyra! And to be there with Adam and Anthony is just awesome. They did a fantastic job in the movie, despite their middle age, and I'm sure they'll bring that to the stage too.

I am stoked about the idea of Saved becoming a musical. I hope there's a big Mandy Moore-inspired Bible throwing number called "I Am Filled With Christ's Love."
