Whoopi Goldberg Joining Xanadu

For those unlucky few who missed today’s broadcast of The View, Whoopi Goldberg announced on the show that she’ll soon be moonlighting in the campy roller-skating musical Xanadu. She’ll be filling in for the hilarious Jackie Hoffman in the part of Calliope/Aphrodite for six weeks starting July 29th. (Hoffman will be on the road promoting her album "Jackie Hoffman Live from Joe's Pub.") In other celebrity casting news, Weeds star Hunter Parrish will be joining the cast of Spring Awakening in August. And no mention of Broadway would be complete without a reminder that you’ve got just six more days to see the extraordinary Passing Strange! [What's Good/What Blows]
