Cheyenne Jackson Joins The Cast of 30 Rock

Remember that time when openly gay Broadway star Cheyenne Jackson showed off his penis? We haven't really been able to get it off our minds, but you can refresh your mind here. Now that we've gotten that out of the way, let's talk about less important matters... Mr. Jackson is allegedly joining the cast of 30 Rock in a permanent or semipermanent role. 

We've got our fingers crossed that his character won't wear pants, though we're not going to place any bets on it. Either way, it's going to be nice to have a date with Cheyenne every week. ::sigh:: Thank you, Tina Fey!

Will A Bring It On Musical Actually Work?

Apparently there's going to be a staged musical loosely based on the Bring It On series. We have no idea why Tony winner Lin-Manuel Miranda is involved with this, but he's not the only one who believes this is actually a good idea. Along with Miranda, Tom Kitt of "Next To Normal" will be composing the music. Amanda Green of "High Fidelity" will provide lyrics, Jeff Whitty of "Avenue Q" will pen the book and Andy Blankenbuehler will be choreographing and directing.

Now, I have to ask my theater queens--should I be swayed by this production line-up? Could this actually be something worth seeing? Will you pay for my ticket and give me a blowjob afterwards?

Would You Hit That?: Nick Adams

This Tuesday seemed like a lovely day to liven up MANHUNT Daily with a healthy debate on one random man's sex appeal. If all goes well, perhaps we could engage in similar discussions on future Tuesdays? That would be just grand! For now, let's just cut to the chase and objectify some guy (or call him ugly).

Nick Adams is an openly gay Broadway star who allegedly upstaged Mario Lopez in A Chorus Line with his bulging biceps. Personally, I'm not sure how I'd feel about getting into his pants, though I imagine some of you would have stronger feelings on this matter. So what do you think? Would you hit that?

Glee's Matthew Morrison Baring All

It's impossible to explain how excited we are about the debut of Glee's second episode. You could say we're "Glee-tarded in delight", but it wouldn't even begin to express these feelings. Dr. Queerlove nearly jizzed his drawers when he saw the video of Mercedes doing Jazmine Sullivan's "Bust Your Windows".

Speaking of jizz, we just got a friendly reminder this morning that the show's Matthew Morrison performed in 2008's Broadway Bares. The sexy teacher did a humpty-dumpty themed dance and worked it out in his boxer briefs. I don't know about you, but I'm beginning to have second thoughts about that Who Would You Rather question.

Spidey Struggles, Angels Thrive

For the first time since 1994, playwright Tony Kushner's award-winning play Angels In America will make a return to New York. Both plays, Millennium Approaches and Perestroika, will run in repertory. And if you can handle sitting through a seven hour production, the Signature Theater Company is planning some performances in which the plays are depicted back to back. 

In other theater related items, there's some bad news for the upcoming Spiderman musical. Or good news, depending on your thoughts on a singing man in red and blue tights. Upon Disney's acquisition of Marvel, the company expressed absolutely no interest in revitalizing the struggling production. Cast members Alan Cumming and Evan Rachel Wood were dismissed, and it looked like there wasn't any hope. And then a hero emerged. In the form of... Bono?

Lastly, Daniel Craig is apparently being a diva. He's demanded tight security as he works with Hugh Jackman on the show A Steady Rain, and the funniest part is that no one seems to even recognize him with that ridiculous porno mustache! Guess he realizes that fans like me would maul him and steal his clothes if he didn't have the proper back-up?

Aural Only: Dolly Parton

I used to make fun of my ex-boyfriend for loving Dolly Parton, and then I woke up one morning to a rude awakening. Unbeknownst to me back then, I love Dolly Parton too. And you know what? I don't care if anyone teases me for my admiration. The woman is almost 64 years-old, and she's still just as fabulous as she was at the peak of her career.

 Dolly's latest song "Change It", which also appears on the soundtrack to the Broadway musical 9 to 5, is unlike any of the other music we feature on here. Don't get turned off by the showtune factor. Dolly puts so much soul into this number that it doesn't come off as too cheesy. Plus, I'm kind of in love with the shaving cream cutie in the music video. Can somebody hook me up with his number? Woof!

Daniel Craig and Hugh Jackman Do Broadway

Months and months ago, we mentioned that Hugh Jackman and Daniel Craig would be appearing side-by-side in the Broadway show A Steady Rain. The first official promo shot has been released, and it's nowhere near what I was hoping for from a play about two cops. Then again, people probably wouldn't have taken this thing seriously if the two stars were naked and handcuffed to a bed, eh?

A Steady Rain will begin performances on September 10^th with an official opening on September 29^th. The show will run until December 6^th, so be sure to get your tickets before you miss out on the hot, dramatic action. This is probably the closest you'll ever get to a Daniel Craig mustache ride.

Broadway Boys Have Tight Ends

Have you ever encountered a football team who makes out with one another and performs choreographed dance moves in their jockstraps? Neither have we, but we're thankful for the incredibly doable Daniel Robinson and his fellow Broadway Bares boys for bringing this fantasy to life. We've written about this event so many times now that it'd be a shame if we didn't share this.

A few suggestions? Skip to 2:06 if you want to see the good parts, and skip to 2:28 if you want to see the really good parts. Also, you may want to consider putting this on mute, because the annoying soundtrack of Kevin Rudolf's "Let It Rock" will distract from the true beauty on screen. Seriously! Those asses are works of art...

You Can Be As Loud As The Hell You Want (When You're Crying About Avenue Q Closing)

The puppet-ridden musical that taught us such life lessons as "The Internet is For Porn" and "There is Life Outside Your Apartment" will be closing on September 13. That's right theater queens--Avenue Q will no longer be on Broadway... for now. After over six years, the show will become the twentieth longest-running Broadway production, falling directly under Hairspray. Let us take a moment to recall our memories of the production and its soundtrack.

Marc Kudisch is Well Hung in 9 to 5

Previews for 9 to 5: The Musical began yesterday on Broadway, and it's pretty much everything you would have expected--superb Dolly Parton tunes, awesome sets and choreography and Allison Janney channeling Lily Tomlin like nobody's business.

But for those who like the hairy burly boys, there's an extra treat--Marc Kudisch. The actor plays the ladies' porn-stached, pervy boss Franklin Hart. His performance is full of pelvic thrusts, plenty of innuendo and showing off an impressive bulge as he's dangled above the stage. Spoiler alert: he also appears at some point in the finale, bare-chested in all his beefy, hirsute glory.

He may not be everyone's cup of tea, but I know not all of us are into the porn star or model type. Have any of you Broadway aficionados seen the show yet?
