Opening night on Broadway is getting to be old hat for actor Daniel Radcliffe, however this time, he added the challenge of song and dance to his live performance.

The Harry Potter actor took to the stage for the revival of  How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying in the Al Hirschfeld Theatre on Sunday, March 27th.

Playing J. Pierrepont Finch from the 1961 musical comedy, Radcliffe is charming critics and the audience with his turn as the always-in-the-right-place-at-the-right-time kinda guy.

The 21 year-old has taken on theater before. He was very well received both in London and in New York City for his role in the psychological drama Equus.

Vanessa Hudgens and her Beastly costar Neil Patrick Harris are bringing the amazing musical Rent to the Hollywood Bowl for three nights starting August 6th. Entertainment Weekly posted the rehearsal pic of the duo as they prep for the show next weekend.

The musical is great and I hope Vanessa and Neil do it justice.

Nick Jonas’ performance in the West End production of Les Miserables is so successful, the young actor is extending his run until July 24th – two weeks longer than originally planned.

NJ is serious about honing his acting skills: “Broadway was where I first started finding my voice as an artist and finding my feet as an actor, and the idea of returning to ‘Les Miz’ was about trying to develop more as an actor.”

After his stage time comes to an end, he will be touring with The Jonas Brothers and Demi Lovato for Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam.

Nick Jonas is spending time in the lovely city of London prepping for his role in the West End production of Les Miserables. The seventeen year old will take on the part of Marius starting June 21st at the Queen’s Theater. Here he is giving a brief interview about what it’s like for him, living in UK. Check it.

Abigail Breslin has had a string of hit movies at a young age and can make you forget how young she really is (much like Dakota Fanning.) The Zombieland and Little Miss Sunshine star, who is only 13 years-old, is just like lots of other teen girls; having sleepovers with her cousin, loves the Jonas Brothers and is interested in all things Twilight. The actress caught up with Nylon magazine and shared her Twilight love:

“I’m a crazy, obsessed fan. I went to see the first one on opening day,” she says. “But I felt left out because everyone in the audience had Twilight T-shirts and I didn’t. So I have Twilight T-shirts now. And have you seen those Twilight water bottles? I have one of those.”

Currently Breslin is in New York City prepping for her debut on Broadway as Helen Keller in The Miracle Worker. Check out the February issue (with The Vampire Diaries cast on the cover) for more with Abigail.

Taylor Swift will be in your living room – yours! – if you buy ‘Band Hero’ the new game from Activision.

“Allowing budding pop stars the ability to perform with friends and family in living rooms across the globe or take their new found fame on the road as they command center stage with their band anywhere they choose, “Band Hero” confirmed today additional songs from both the console and Nintendo DS Lite set lists, comprised of the most fun to play, chart-topping hits. When the games ship on November 3, fans can live out their music fantasies as they step on stage as their favorite music superstars, including singer/songwriter Taylor Swift…”

The avatar of her is really good.

Bandslam opens in theaters Friday August 14th (but you knew that already) and here are Vanessa Hudgens and Aly Michalka talking about learning to play the guitar for their roles and how Vanessa found her ‘inner rock god(ess!).’

‘Twilight’ star Robert Pattinson has a busy year ahead of him. With the vampire sequel ‘New Moon’ scheduled to start filming and his latest movie ‘Little Ashes’  both happening in March 2009 and an (as yet) uncomfirmed role in ‘Ohio,’  the in demand actor may be headed to London’s West End theater district. David Pugh, the producer who brought Daniel Radcliffe to the live stage in the revival of Equus, has confirmed to Variety that he will be developing something with Pattinson for the year 2010. It is the perfect time for him to expand his acting career to theater if he wants.
