I've been in rehearsals for a showcase all this week (I'll be performing two scenes, two songs, and a monologue), so this week has been a little lighter on the news front.

Whoopi Goldberg Joins "Xanadu" on Broadway
This week Whoopi Goldberg replaced Jackie Hoffman in Xanadu at the Helen Hayes Theatre after two weeks of rehearsal.
Xanadu is about a muse named Kira (Kerry Butler) who inspires an artist (Cheyenne Jackson) to create a roller disco. Goldberg, playing another muse, tries to thwart the ensuing love affair.
In addition to Butler, Jackson, and Goldberg, the cast includes Tony Roberts, Mary Testa, Curtis Holbrook, Kenita Miller, Patti Murin, Mary Thomas, André Ward, and Jacob Ben Widmar.
The score features the film songs by John Farrar and Jeff Lynne. The book is by Douglas Carter Beane. Christopher Ashley directs and Dan Knechtges choreographs. The music director is Eric Stern.
Goldberg is also a producer on two upcoming Broadway shows: a revival of Ntozake Shange's For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow Is Enough, and a musical called Bricktop.
She will continue performing in Xanadu through September 7.
