NEW YORK (AP) — President Joe Biden's reelection campaign is getting some big-name fundraising help Monday from Broadway’s top stars. Both Biden and first lady Jill Biden will attend the event, with tickets ranging from $250 to $7,500. Since at least Bill Clinton, Democratic presidents have cultivated intimate ties with powerful figures in the Hollywood entertainment industry. Biden himself raised roughly $1 million during an early 2020 campaign fundraiser at the home of Michael Smith and James Costos, a former HBO executive. That event was attended by former DreamWorks co-founder Jeffrey Katzenberg, now a Biden campaign co-chair.

Other roles came, several of them further variations on the dumb blonde: Glinda in “Wicked”; Essie in “You Can’t Take It With You,” her Tony-winning part; Sylvia in “Sylvia,” in which she played a blond dog. Yoked with that mind is a clarity of purpose, tinged with a belief in the divine, which can resemble a kind of innocence. Sarah Paulson, who worked with her on “Impeachment: American Crime Story” and filmed a movie with her last summer, described that clarity as lending Ashford a certain buoyancy. “She can seem like she’s dancing in the ether a little bit,” Paulson said. But Ashford also has a seriousness to her, which Paulson described as “a fierce self-possession, this unassailable confidence that is wild to me.”
New YorkThe new Broadway revival of “Sweeney Todd,” the ghoulish marvel of a musical comedy that may represent the greatest achievement of composer and lyricist Stephen Sondheim , reaches a deliriously mad peak just when it should, as the bloodlust of the title character, played by the pop phenomenon Josh Groban , unites with the desperate pragmatism of the pie-making Mrs. Lovett, embodied with hilarious zest by Annaleigh Ashford .
Annaleigh Ashford, 37, is a Tony-winning actress who appeared on TV’s “Masters of Sex” and “Impeachment.” She will star in “Sweeny Todd” on Broadway in February and now co-stars in the Hulu series “Welcome to Chippendales.” She spoke with Marc Myers. I was 4 when I saw my first ladybug. I was with my grandmother, Carol, in her cucumber garden. I loved its red color and black spots.
CNN —Hulu has carved out an impressive niche of salacious fact-based limited series, including several with a true-crime hook. “Welcome to Chippendales” checks off those boxes, but in a less-appealing package that’s surprisingly lifeless, and even with its trashy selling points looks under-dressed for success. The story begins with Indian immigrant Somen “Steve” Banerjee (Kumail Nanjiani) who is introduced as a gas-station/quickie-mart attendant before he gambles his savings by opening a high-end backgammon club. Ultimately, though, “Chippendales” is defined by its trashier aspects, while its assortment of supporting players and their soap-opera problems too often feel as if they’re just killing time. “Welcome to Chippendales” premieres November 22 on Hulu.
The true-crime drama tells the story of the Chippendales dance troupe and its founder. How to watch 'Welcome to Chippendales'You can watch "Welcome to Chippendales" exclusively on Hulu.
