And here's some other news you can use:

- The Herald-Dispatch has a gallery of photos from rehearsals for Charlotte's Web (which starts a week from today at the Renaissance Theater) - you can see them right here. Hey, there's one on the right!

- You can read an excellent story right here about The Drowsy Chaperone by the Herald-Dispatch's Beth Hendricks.

Here's a sample:
The show with the most 2006 Tony Awards of any musical on Broadway is setting up shop at the Paramount Arts Center in a 7 p.m. show Saturday.

Tickets are $10-$60.

The Drowsy Chaperone
is set in the apartment of the lonely, witty Man in Chair, who serves as narrator and commentator for the evening. He puts on a favorite cast album of an obscure 1920s musical, and as he shares his enthusiasm and observations about the show with the audience, the musical springs to life in his apartment.
