Lambert, Crowe The "Les Miz" film got its fair share of both raves and pans. But it was strange to see "American Idol" alum Adam Lambert lash out against it on Twitter.

 'Rebecca' producer says show will open this year Just when you thought the never-ending melodrama with the musical "Rebecca," which was forced to abort its planned Broadway run twice, had finally ended, lead producer Ben Sprecher now claims that the show will finally bow on Broadway by the end of 2013, as first reported by The New York Times.

 'Starcatcher' set to reopen Off-Broadway It looks like the trend of moving tired Broadway shows to Off-Broadway, where the rent is cheaper, isn't over yet. It's been revealed that "Peter and the Starcatcher," which is about to finish its Broadway run, will reopen in March at New World. 
 Alexander set to star in Noah's Ark revival "Seinfeld" star Jason Alexander will star in the York Theatre Company's upcoming mounting of "Two by Two," Richard Rodgers' musical adaptation of the Noah's Ark story, running Feb. 15-17.
