As reported on BroadwayWorld, Lisa Simpson became a Broadway baby in last night's episode of THE SIMPSONS. Titled "Lisa With An 'S,'" the plot had the intellectual sax player becoming the protégé of theatre legend Laney Fontaine, a character based on the fabulous Elaine Stritch.

Lin-Manual Miranda's Broadway smash, HAMILTON, was also referenced, as the subject of a quick sight gag, as seen on this Twitter tweet.

Another shot paid tribute to HEDWIG AND THE ANGRY INCH:
From the creative team behind the Tony Award-winning In The Heights comes a wildly inventive new musical about the scrappy young immigrant who forever changed America: AlexanderHamilton. Tony and Grammy Award winner Lin-Manuel Miranda wields his pen and takes the stage as the unlikely founding father determined to make his mark on a new nation as hungry and ambitious as he is.
From bastard orphan to Washington's right hand man, rebel to war hero, loving husband caught in the country's first sex scandal to Treasury head who made an untrusting world believe in the American economy, Hamilton is an exploration of a political mastermind. George Washington,Thomas Jefferson, Eliza Hamilton, and lifelongHamiltonfriend and foe,Aaron Burr, all attend this revolutionary tale of America's fiery past told through the sounds of the ever-changing nation we've become. Tony Award nominee Thomas Kail directs this new musical about taking your shot, speaking your mind, and turning the world upside down.
