Tracie Thoms, Shoshana Bean, Jane Lynch, More Set for LAST FIVE YEARS

The Third Street Theatre in LA will host a three night-fundraiser with a rotating cast for Jason Robert Brown's musical (and one of my favorite musicals of all time) THE LAST FIVE YEARS. The show will be hosted by Jane Lynch, William H. Macy, and Felicity Huffman, according to BroadwayWorld

The cast for the shows will include Tracie Thoms (Rent), Shoshana Bean (Wicked), Lindsay Pearce (Glee Project) and Chase Williamson. The four actors will take turns playing Jamie and Cathy, with some of them changing the character of Jamie into a female role.

This is a very different take on what is potentially one of my favorite musicals and I'm upset I won't have the chance to see this because this is so exciting and cool and different.

Tracie Thoms Lands Pilot!

Tracie Thoms (Rent, Stick Fly) is set to star in the new CBS pilot APPLEBAUM. In the show, Thoms plays "a former doctor, a loving mother and the loyal, supportive best friend of the lead character, Juliet," played by Rachel Lefevre."

That's about all the info we have right now, but this is cool news and I definitely am pumped to see more of Tracie.
