Othello is Kimber Elayne Sprawl’s 7th Broadway show, but before this season she had never done a play here in New York City. An illustrious career that ranges from Beautiful to Girl From The North Country to Wicked, Sprawl has made a name for herself but she was ready for a new challenge. Enter Kenny Leon. After starting the season in the company of Home at Roundabout, Sprawl landed Emilia in the much talked about starry revival of Othello currently starring Denzel Washington and Jake Gyllenhaal. I recently sat down with Sprawl to chat about her connection to The Bard, transitioning into the world of plays, and her love of the New York Public Library. Our conversation has been edited for length and clarity. All photos are by Carianne Older/Theatrely.

Meet The Characters of STRANGER THINGS: THE FIRST SHADOW

Whether you have binged every episode on Netflix or you are walking in fully blind to the Stranger Things universe, there is one thing for certain: you are bound to fall in love with this zany cast of characters. Stranger Things: The First Shadow is a prequel to the series and takes us back 30 years to the late 1950s where we meet this ragtag group and go on one thrilling adventure. I caught up with the cast during rehearsals to chat with them and dive into the world of Stranger Things.

Netflix Gives Behind-The-Scenes Access Like Never Before With BEHIND THE CURTAIN: STRANGER THINGS: THE FIRST SHADOW

If you have ever wanted to see how the sausage gets made and be in the room where it happens, now is your chance. Directed by Jon Halperin, Netflix is giving viewers a special peak behind the curtain to see how the creative team raced against the clock to open Stranger Things: The First Shadow on the West End back in 2023. I caught a screening of the film last night at the Paris Theater here in Midtown and it's an astonishing and incredibly candid look into the making of a major theatrical production unlike anything I have seen before. A truly fly-on-the-wall look following producer Sonia Friedman, writer Kate Trefry, directors Stephen Daldry and Justin Martin, and the entire cast and crew from early workshops, auditions, tech, all the way through to opening night.

Olivier Nominated Lindsey Ferrentino Just Won’t Stop Writing, And Thank Goodness

One thing is for certain, when The Hollywood Reporter calls you one of Netflix’s “go-to writers,” things are going pretty well. Lindsey Ferrentino has been writing works seen across the New York stage for years now, and she’s just getting started. Between The Artist, The Queen of Versailles, multiple film projects, Ferrentino has now been nominated for her first Olivier Award for The Fear of 13 which recently had a critically acclaimed run at the Donmar Warehouse in London starring Academy Award winner Adrien Brody. I caught up with Ferrentino recently to chat about balancing multiple projects, gushing over Adrien Brody, and what she might wear this Sunday to the awards. Our conversation has been edited for clarity and length.

Death Becomes Warren Yang: Meet the Ensemble Performer Slaying the Stunts

In Death Becomes Her, ensemble member Warren Yang performs crazier splits than a drag queen and tumbles down majestic stairs, in slow motion, in a performance The New York Times called "astonishing." As the musical's leading ladies murder each other — over and over — Yang steps in as the stunt double for aging star Madeline (Megan Hilty), bewigged and blonde, a choice in lockstep with the production's campy style.
