Get what you've spent your whole life wishing for and… » 6/18/14 6:15pm 6/18/14 6:15pm

You remember state Sen. Stacey Campfield, don't you? He's the Tennessee lawmaker who tried to make it illegal in Tennessee for teachers to discuss anything about sexuality with their students, and then, because that wasn't enough, tried to make it so that if schools found out a student's orientation, the schools would… » 6/10/14 11:28pm 6/10/14 11:28pm

Last night, Dancing With the Stars went full Disney. Unfortunately there was no Fox and the Hound contemporary dance, but they did make time for Ariel to shake her mermaid-shell bra around for the kiddies. So we've ranked all the Disney dances from best to worst! » 4/15/14 10:15pm 4/15/14 10:15pm

Good news for fans of Spring Awakening, the 2006 Broadway hit (based on the 19th century German play) about a group of under-educated teens exploring sex, love and passion to the point of destruction.

Snowy, Nordic fairy tale Frozen could have been wildly different from what we saw in theaters. Check out the whole other movie Disney almost made, in this astounding collection of concept art. » 2/22/14 3:45pm 2/22/14 3:45pm

Idina Menzel, Kristen Bell and the rest of the Frozen cast took the stage for a private concert. And that means Disney is finally accepting that sometimes it's better to let the Broadway singers take central stage — instead of hiding them in the shadows and foregrounding terrible pop-recreations of their movie hits. » 2/10/14 5:41pm 2/10/14 5:41pm

Kristen Wiig made a surprise appearance on SNL's cold open in what must have been a conscious effort on the part of NBC to stamp out all the The Sound of Music ridicule by spoofing all the spoof out of it. It seems to have worked, though I really think we're still missing an angle. Maybe a naked appearance from… » 12/08/13 5:00pm 12/08/13 5:00pm

On tonight's episode of Parks & Recreation — the last to air until January because NBC wants more people to watch Sean Saves The World/ oh my god NBC what are you doing? — Leslie Knope and Councilman Jamm pair up for a gender-bending rendition of the karaoke favorite "Summer Nights." Here's the entire performance. » 11/21/13 10:30pm 11/21/13 10:30pm

I know some of you are tired of the "Disney Does" that's infected the Internet like HTML mono, but this one is SO FUCKING AWESOME. » 10/30/13 9:30am 10/30/13 9:30am

A musical adaptation of Homeland that relevant Hollywood superstar Rosie O'Donnell thought was only so-so? Call the box office! I'd like to buy out the whole theater! » 9/24/13 5:15pm 9/24/13 5:15pm

It's no secret around these parts that I'm very into musical theater, but truth be told, I hadn't given comedians/MADtv alums Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele much thought beyond "Oh, they seem funny," until late last night when a friend sent me this clip from the recent Key and Peele season premiere, featuring… » 9/20/13 5:00pm 9/20/13 5:00pm

We've been waiting anxiously for Bret McKenzie (the tiny kitten-shirted costar of Flight of the Conchords) to get another music project. And now he has — and he says it's akin to the classic fantasy movie Labyrinth. EVERYBODY FREAK OUT. » 8/12/13 10:01pm 8/12/13 10:01pm
