This guy is on FIRE! Cheyenne Jackson has released his AH-mazing new video for his song Don't Look At Me.

Sorry Cheyenne, but we can't help but look at you!

Actually, this video is DEEP, as it should be. We think this is Cheyenne's most sincere song yet. And that makes sense considering he co-wrote it with Sia.

Ch-ch-check out Mr. Jackson's new video that has one CAH-RAZY twist ending!!! (above)

Excuse us for a second. We need to catch our breath. Holy. SHIZ!!!

Neil Patrick Harris will be returning to Broadway! And his Great White Way homecoming is happening next spring in one of our FAVORITE shows of all time - Hedwig and the Angry Inch!!!

If his latest stint as the Tonys host taught us anything, it's that this man BELONGS on the stage!

In case you don't know, Hedwig and the Angry Inch is about a transgender rock star and first premiered off-Broadway in 1998. John Cameron Mitchell who wrote the book and starred in the original production gave NPH his blessing today, saying:

Michael Fassbender isn't the only one who's going to go totez cray cray for Macbeth!!!

While Michael has the big screen adaptation covered, Ethan Hawke will be taking center stage as the Shakespearean play's title character at Lincoln Center Theater in NYC starting October 24.

And Ethan didn't land this role accidentally either!

In fact, the acting veteran has been wanting to play the Scottish general for quite some time.

Ethan explained:

We wonder how good Joe Manganiello’s Marlon Brando impression is!

The True Blood actor is heading to Connecticut to star in an Off-Broadway production of A Streetcar Named Desire.

Taking up the role of Stanley Kowalski, Joe will be directed by Mark Rucker at the Yale Repertory Theatre, while the production is set to run from September 20th to October 12th.

As far as we’re concerned, this is a GREAT casting choice! Joe has the makings of an AH-mazing Stanley.

Just picture it — rather, him. Shirtless. On stage.

Yessss.

Daniel Radcliffe has found nothing but accolades with Broadway hits like Equus and How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying!

But he may not be the only Harry Potter star to turn movie magic into stage success!

Emma Watson says she is about to dip a toe on on the boards! She says:

Whoa!! The Cornflake Girl took her totally awesome talents across the pond!!

We're thrilled to EXCLUSIVELY announce that Tori Amos' genius has a new platform — London's theater scene!!

She wrote the music and lyrics to The Light Princess, a fresh new musical the UK National Theatre plans to produce this Fall!

Though that gorgeous red-headed actress isn't her in the poster, we can still feel Tori's talented beauty radiating from it!

Ch-ch-check it out (above)!

Sweet!! AMAZEBALLZ!!! We're so very happy for Tori!!

The Grammy-nominated singer/songwriter has had a fantabulous career, and we're sure she can help create a masterful show!!

Described as "a dark fairytale about grief, rebellion and the power of love," The Light Princess opens at the Lyttelton Theatre on October 9th!

Kermit & Miss Piggy are finally coming to Broadway!!

Disney Theatrical Productions & Tony-nominated director Alex Timbers put together a live Muppets stage show last month and tested out the feasibility on an audience of staffers!

The showcase was only 15 minutes long, but it could be a preamble to a legitimate Broadway incarnation!!

Hooray!!! This is the truly the most wondrous news we've heard all day week month EVER!!!

Can you imagine next year's Tony's if Neil Patrick Harris AND Fozzie Bear get to tap dance on stage in their bare bear feet!

Wocka Wocka, we can't wait!!
