Playbill.com looks at the history of female directors who have received Tony Award nominations.

Kenneth Branagh's acclaimed immersive production of Macbeth will be filmed by Martin Scorsese, the Daily Mail reports.

In recent days, the struggling Broadway musical Jane Eyre has received as much press as The Producers, but, somehow, the attention isn't working the same magic. Last week the show was ready to close, after a long, tortuous fight for audiences, but pop star Alanis Morrisette cast away the grim reaper with a single wave of her checkbook. Then, on May 20, Jane Eyre herself, aka Marla Schaffel, pulled off an upset and walked away with the Drama Desk Award for best actress in a musical. A harbinger for the Tonys? Perhaps producers thought so. Box office figures ending last week were encouraging, an increase of $48,000 over the previous week, and the moneymen decided to take a risk and soldier on.
