West End

The chant “Jerry Jerry Jerry” will soon be heard echoing through London’s West End.

Springer is heading across the pond to appear in Chicago. 

Jerry will headline in the role of lawyer Billy Flynn and has already started singing lessons to prepare although he admits, “You don’t need a Pavarotti for that role. I think I can carry a tune.

“I’m going to try to respect the traditions of the theatre and of the show. I’m going to work hard at it, I’m going to really rehearse and give it my best.”

As if Broadway isn’t suffering enough these days.

Run for your lives, New York!

Godzilla Poonana, aka Sienna Miller, is coming for you!

We can hear the theme music already…

Sienna Miller has signed on to make her Broadway stage debut in September.

Last night, as he and his High School Musical castmates were leaving Josh Hartnett's performance, the West End stage adaptation of Rainman, Zac Efron was attacked by a crazed middle aged fan who lunged through the crowd of screaming tween fans outside London’s Apollo Theatre and tried to grab Zac-y Pooh’s hair.

Is someone trying to do some voodoo? Get a lock of his hair for some crazy Cupid spell or something?

The cast of High School Musical 3: Senior Year, including our boy Zac Efron, Vanessa Hudgens, Corbin Bleu and Ashley Tisdale, took an evening off from their whirlwind round-the-world promotional duties supporting the franchise’s third installment, the first to be released theatrically, opening October 24th, to enjoy a night of theater.

Last night the HSM posse went to see Josh Hartnett perform in Rainman on London’s West End.

He may be long forgotten in America (Wicker Park, anyone?) but in the United Kingdom, he’s still cause for a mini riot.

Josh Harnett caused quite a stir as he left the theater where hiss latest endeavor, a theatrical adaptation of Rain Man, is in previews at the Apollo Theater on London’s West End. Not surprisingly, the show and Josh’s performance have received mixed reviews but that didn’t stop fans from thronging the stage door seeking autographs and photos.

First Katie Holmes, now Julia Stiles. Yuck.

All these second rate actresses from the late 90’s whose careers are flailing are signing on to do Broadway shows. We bet Neve Campbell will be next.

Julia Stiles is set to make her Broadway debut with a reprisal of her role in Oleanna that she first performed opposite Aaron Eckhart on London's West End in 2004. David Mamet’s Oleanna is about the power struggle between a university professor and one of his female students who accuses him of sexual harassment.

It’s been quite a while since Josh Hartnett was at the top of the Hollywood heap but last night he premiered on London’s West End in a stage adaptation of Rain Man.

After the show Josh was mobbed by hundreds of waiting fans before sneaking out to a waiting taxi with a mystery brunette.

A little success is restoring Josh’s sheen. He looks hot! We haven’t found him attractive since his Black Hawk Down days.
