1 hour ago | Indiewire Television | See recent Indiewire Television news »
This month, FX aired something insane and magic and impossible to describe. It came courtesy of a show you are likely not watching – unless you’re a diehard fan of Denis Leary and/or single-camera comedies about rock music. It stars an artist whose contributions to film, television and theater are prolific and vast, who performs an homage to Broadway’s most game-changing musical of the last several decades.

Really, the only way to explain it is simply to show you — so below, please watch Campbell Scott (as “himself”) perform the climatic track of “Feast,” the “Hamilton”-inspired musical-within-a-show created this season for “Sex&Drugs&Rock&Roll.”

2 hours ago | TVLine.com | See recent TVLine.com news »
Lifetime’s upcoming Beaches remake has found a pair of pint-sized doppelgangers for its female leads.
Theater actresses Gabriella Pizzolo (age 13) and Grace Capeless (age 12) will play the younger versions of Cc (Idina Menzel) and Hillary (Nia Long), TVLine has learned exclusively. Beaches — based on the 1988 tearjerker starring Bette Midler and Barbara Hershey — traces Cc and Hillary’s lifelong friendship across several decades, so the girls will get plenty of screen time.
And how cute is this: Pizzolo and Capeless are real-life best friends, and already co-starred on Broadway in Matilda the Musical together.
