Rita Moreno defends Lin-Manuel Miranda over In the Heights colourism controversy
The big screen adaptation of Miranda's Broadway stage musical of the same name is set in the Washington Heights neighbourhood of New York City, and drew praise for depicting its Latino population - but also criticism for the lack of Afro-Latino characters.
Rachel Zegler and Kit Connor are set to make their Broadway debuts in a new production of Shakespeare's 'Romeo + Juliet' this fall. The production will feature music by Grammy Award winner Jack Antonoff, who is also making his Broadway debut, movement by Sonya Tayeh (of 'Moulin Rouge! The Musical') and direction by Sam Gold. While few details have been released about this version of the Shakespeare classic, it promises an angrier take on the tale.

Harvey Weinstein's guilty verdict in New York was overturned, but there's no way that happens here on the West Coast ... according to the L.A. County D.A.'s.. TMZ.com
Harvey Weinstein's lawyer is saying it's a "great day in America" after the former Hollywood mogul's rape conviction in New York was overturned. Arthur Aidala, Weinstein's lawyer in the appellate case, opened the first press conference after the overturned conviction saying that his team always knew that "Harvey Weinstein did not get a fair trial." The New York state Court of Appeals overturned Weinstein's 2020 rape conviction Thursday, ruling that the judge in the New York County trial was prejudiced against Weinstein because among other things, the court allowed women to testify about allegations that were not part of the case.
