Jake Gyllenhaal to Make Musical Debut as Seymour in 'Little Shop of Horrors,' Opposite Taran Killam from 'Saturday Night Live'
After starring opposite Ruth Wilson in Constellations on Broadway, Jake Gyllenhaal will soon make his musical theater debut as the nerdy florist Seymour in Encores! Off-Center production of Alan Menken and Howard Ashman's 'Little Shop of Horrors.' According to New York mag's Vulture, Gyllenhaal appears to be getting more comfortable on stage. Fortunately for proto-Gyllenhaal fans, 'Little Shop of Horrors' is reminiscent of Gyllenhaal's more kooky and quirky works such as 'Bubble Boy' and even 'Donnie Darko.' Originally slated as a one-night-only performance, the Dick Scanlan-directed concert production will now play three performances at New York's City Center on July 1 and 2, 2015 according to 'Entertainment Weekly.' 'Mama Mia!' Broadway to End Historic Run at Broadhurst Theater in September
Say it isn't so! Is the Broadway musical, Mama Mia! really going to call it quits in the fall? Sadly, the rumors appear to be true. The historical, record-breaking musical, inspired by the music and songs of ABBA is set to end its Broadway run in September. The Benny Andersson/Björn Ulvaeus "smash musical hit" will go dark at the Broadhurst Theater come Saturday, September 5, 2015--after 5,765 performances.
