Ahh yes, Kristen Stewart! So cultured!!!!

Just after making her fashionable descent down the punk rock red carpet at the Met Gala, Kristen Stewart attended the hit broadway play, Orphans, in NYC.

Her theater-going experience comes only a week after BF Robert Pattinson saw BFF Tom Sturridge in the play that made Shia LaBeouf go cray-cray.

A lucky audience member tweeted:

The one and only Liza Minnelli is taking a stand in support of same-sex marriage!

The Broadway legend recently posed for the NOH8 Campaign — the portrait of which has officially been revealed (above).

Liza is one of many celebrities to speak up about LGBT issues in both visual and verbal protest, joining the ranks of recent additions including The Hunger Games’ Josh Hutcherson. When asked about her thoughts, the star said:

“Here’s what I believe… No shame. No Blame. No guilt. Be happy, and be who you are. I love you.”

Ahhh! We love you, too, Liza!

Who knew Aaron Tveit was a Swiftie?!

The Les Miserables star performed a cabaret show at 54 Below in New York City Friday night, and while the set list was full of Broadway hits, Aaron made sure to include one special track for his fans. Yep, you guessed it. None other than Taylor Swift’s We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together!

On putting his own show together, the singer said that "it's wonderful because you just get to sing what you want to sing."

Ch-ch-check out Aaron’s stellar rendition (above) and be sure to catch a couple of his other performances from that night…AFTER THE JUMP!!!

Yes, we are hinting at something… TAKE THAT HINT, RYAN MURPHY!

The stars of the New York stage showed up to the 2013 Broadway Audience Choice Awards at the Lincoln Center in NYC last night.

Hosted by Wendy Williams, the award show honored the best of the current Broadway season as voted for directly by fans and public audiences!

The carpet arrivals included Glee’s Matthew Morrison, Cyndi Lauper, Debra Messing, and many others.

Ch-ch-check out the photos (below) for a better look!

As we gear up for the Tony Awards, we can't help but wonder — are yesterday's winners shoe-ins for their respective Tony nominations?! We're looking at you, Kinky Boots. Cyndi and Harvey Fierstein's musical collaboration took the award show by storm, taking home the award for Favorite New Musical!

Could this be the little engine that could?! Here's hoping!

Ruh-roh, Mr. Donaghy!!

Remember Orphans? The Broadway revival starring Alec Baldwin and, for a quick second, Shia LaBeouf?

The Tony-nominated play officially TANKED!!

Show-runners originally planned to end the run on June 30th, but poor ticket sales since Shia's dismissal are forcing them to close the curtains for good in mid-May!

Sadly, we can't say we didn't see this coming

Well haaay there, ya cheeky young lovers!

Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone embarked on a romantic night out Thursday, taking in British play Bull which is currently being performed in NYC as part of the Brits Off Broadway initiative.

And at the event, Emma decided to sneak-attack a picture featuring Andrew and a few of their pals (above)!!

YES! We love ourselves a good photobomb!

But we think Andrew might need to get those spidey senses checked if he didn't even feel a tingle WARNING him of his girlfriend's photographic mischief, LOLz!

Ch-ch-check out some more snaps of the onscreen/real life lovers' night at the theater (below)

So sad!

The Spice Girls’ musical Viva Forever will be saying goodbye to London’s West End in the next eight weeks! The show, featuring the girl group’s biggest hits, wasn’t good enough to make the cut and will be closing at a loss of close to $8 million! YIKES!

The five released a joint statement upon the announcement of the musical’s cancellation:
