Talking about Outlander means talking, at least in part, about sex. But the sex is not all swoonworthy as the saga continues, and sexual desire can lead to menace as well as euphoria. 

Tommy Tune, has already been honored by the Tonys for his work as a director, choreographer, and actor. But this year, he adds another accolade to his collection: Tune will receive the Special Tony Award for Lifetime Achievement in the Theatre at this year’s ceremony, the Tony Awards announced Thursday. 

Tune has won nine Tonys already. His first came in 1974 as a supporting actor in Seesaw. Most recently, he won twice in 1991 for directing and choreographing The Will Rogers Follies. 

Billy Eichner took a seemingly delighted David Letterman on one of his scream-y jaunts around New York City streets to ask an important question: What should Letterman should do after his retirement from the Late Show?  

Now that Vanessa Hudgens has hit Broadway, Broadway has seduced Vanessa Hudgens. “I absolutely adore being in the theater,” she told EW. “I love the rehearsal process. I love being on stage. I love only having one shot to get it right. I just love the thrill of the theater. It’s left such a lasting impression on me that I kind of don’t want to leave.”

So far this season on Broadchurch, it has been clear that there’s an undercurrent of tension between Jocelyn Knight (Charlotte Rampling), the Queen’s Counsel on the side of Latimers, and Sharon Bishop (Marianne Jean-Baptiste), who has been defending Joe Miller in court.

At last night’s Miscast, the annual gala benefiting MCC Theater, Sweeney Todd got a dose of Crazy Eyes.

Yesterday, NBC announced that its next live musical will be a Cirque du Soleil-inflected The Wiz, which will then travel to Broadway for the 2016-17 season. So who should be in the cast? 

Anyone trying to reach Jimmy Fallon will want their calls to go to voicemail now. Lin-Manuel Miranda, the man behind In the Heights and the recent stage phenomenon Hamilton—a rap musical about founding father Alexander Hamilton—recently freestyled an outgoing voicemail message for the overjoyed late night host. Phillipa Soo, who plays Hamilton’s wife Eliza in the show, provided the beatboxing, while singer Sara Bareilles was apparently operating the camera. 

Now that Trevor Noah has been named the next host of The Daily Show, it’s time to catch up on what he’s done on the show so far. His clip library isn’t extensive: Noah, the show’s “senior international correspondent,” has appeared three times since joining the series last year.

Patrick Stewart has a case of the sniffles in the teaser for the upcoming Starz series Blunt Talk, but it doesn’t look like he has a cold. No, Stewart, playing cable news host Walter Blunt, has something else up his nose.

Cocaine seems to be just one of this Brit’s vices from the look of this teaser for the show created by Jonathan Ames and executive produced by Seth MacFarlane. Blunt gets into trouble with the authorities, gets worked up over how “Falklands” is uttered, and swigs from a flask.
