‘Doctor Zhivago’ opens on Broadway next week and its composer, Lucy Simon, took some time out of her busy schedule to talk about the show.
At WonderCon, I joined in on a roundtable interview with Executive Producer Donald De Line where he talked about the upcoming FOX show, getting the great cast to sign on and more!

Reinders, who’s previously starred on Broadway in ‘Wicked’ and ‘Gypsy’, described the show as “if ‘The Book of Mormon’ and ‘Spamalot’ and 42nd St. all had a baby.”
The two stars talk about the show, getting their parts and don’t miss what they had to say when I asked them what their first professional acting jobs were!
Glover won a Tony Award for Best Actress in a Musical for Memphis, has recurred on ‘Smash’ and ‘The Following’ and performed for the President and First Lady.

“I put 70 very good actresses on tape before I started talking to Aubrey” – Director Hal Hartley on Casting Aubrey Plaza
“In my life, there’s always been these periods, where, ‘Oh my God, I’m never going to work again.’ And then things come out of nowhere. Especially if you’ve already arranged to leave the business and take a trip” – Mary Louise Wilson

I dare you to watch Michael Showalter’s new film, ‘Hello, My Name is Doris’, and not completely be in love with Sally Field at the end of this charming film
