18 October 2008 7:14 AM, PDT | From wenn.com | See recent WENN news

Monty Python's Spamalot is to end its successful Broadway run in January.

The curtain will come down on the stage adaptation of comedy film Monty Python + The Holy Grail at the Shubert Theatre on 18 January, after 1,582 performances, according to BroadwayWorld.com.

The cast has included Tim Curry, David Hyde-Pierce and Clay Aiken, who currently plays Sir Robin in the production.

The show opened at the Shubert in March 2005 and it went on to win multiple Tony, Drama Desk and Outer Critics Circle awards later that year for Best Musical.

Estimates suggest the show, written by Eric Idle and John Du Prez, will have grossed more than $175 million (GBP94.5 million) when its run ends. It will have been seen by more than two million people on Broadway.

'The Big Bang Theory' Takes on "The Barbarian Sublimation" Tonight

6 October 2008 12:00 AM, PDT | From buddytv.com | See recent BuddyTV news

Last week on CBS’ The Big Bang Theory, we saw Leonard (Johnny Galecki) and Penny (Kaley Cuoco) end their relationship, while Leslie Winkle (Sarah Gilbert) made a move on Leonard and proposed to revisit their relationship.  Leonard on the other hand, sent Sheldon (Jim Parsons) out of the apartment so that he could have some private time with Leslie, whom Sheldon doesn’t like.  Penny returned in time to see Leonard and Leslie and they both fueled the fire of jealousy by making out with their respective partners.

Tonight on The Big Bang Theory, antics ensue as Sheldon introduces Penny to online gaming.

Created and executively produced by Chuck Lorre and Billy Prady, The Big Bang Theory follows two exceptionally smart physicists Leonard and Sheldon, who live across the hall from blonde bombshell Penny.  The show is one of today’s most successful sitcoms and stars Johnny Galecki, Jim Parsons and Kaley Cuoco.

Blu-ray Review: Nixon (Election Year Edition)

20 August 2008 11:47 PM, PDT | From Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news

Oliver Stone has pretty much owned films based on the time of the Vietnam War. He has his Vietnam War trilogy with Born on the Fourth of July, Platoon and Heaven and Earth. He also has The Doors and JFK. Here we will talk about Nixon, the director's in-depth look at one of the United States' most controversial presidents and in familiar form Stone brings his own twists and theories to the story as he once again says he is a filmmaker and not a historian. This was my first time seeing Nixon and considering this is the director's cut boasting an additional 28 minutes I knew I was in for a long haul as the film now spans a whopping three hours and 33 minutes. The funny thing is to listen to Stone's introduction to the deleted scenes on the second disc and how he says wasn't able to get it

Hyde Pierce: 'Grammer Is A Tough Old Coot'

30 July 2008 6:34 PM, PDT | From wenn.com | See recent WENN news

Kelsey Grammer is on the road to recovery after another health scare in New York at the weekend, according to his former Frasier co-star David Hyde Pierce.

Grammer was taken to a medical centre in the city on Sunday night, after feeling faint - just a month after he suffered a near-fatal heart attack.

His representative has revealed medics carried out tests and altered the medication he was on.

The 53-year-old actor was discharged on Tuesday, and Hyde Pierce - who played his onscreen brother in the long-running U.S. sitcom - has already been in touch.

He says, "He's doing great. He's out of the woods. He sounded great on the phone. He's a tough old coot."

Pierce Rejects Return To TV

30 June 2008 3:08 PM, PDT | From wenn.com | See recent WENN news

Actor David Hyde Pierce refuses to return to TV - because his role on hit U.S. sitcom Frasier has defined his career.

The 49-year-old star enjoyed an 11-year run as Doctor Niles Crane on the Cheers spin-off, winning the actor four Emmy Awards before he turned his talents to the stage.

Pierce has since enjoyed a 16-month-long stint on Broadway in his Tony-award winning role in Curtains.

But, as the curtain falls on that play, he insists we won't be rushing back to TV, despite receiving a flood of offers.

He says, "In between (plays), I'll take some time off. I haven't had a break since Frasier.

"People have approached me about going back to TV. Basically, I said to them, 'I'm happy to look at scripts, but I don't want to go back to television.'"

And Pierce adds he's holding no hope for a reunion of the sitcom: "I don't think a reunion show is a good idea. People understandably have a desire for more of these characters, but the reality won't meet the dream."

Pierce is set to return to the Broadway stage in a revival of 1934 comedy Accent on Youth, which is slated to debut next spring.
