Good morning, BroadwayWorld! Because we know all our readers eat, sleep and breathe Broadway, what could be better than waking up to it? Today's big news: PAGEANT returns to the stage, Rob McClure and Jenny Powers star in THE ADDAMS FAMILY in St. Louis, and Tony-winner Lena Hall and more gather at 54 Below to belt out songs by Justin Timberlake!

Now, join us in singing a rousing chorus of LES MISERABLES' "Do You Hear The People Sing?" in honor of Bastille Day!

Do you hear the people sing?
Singing a song of angry men?
It is the music of a people
Who will not be slaves again!
When the beating of your heart
Echoes the beating of the drums
There is a life about to start
When tomorrow comes!

Quote of the Day: In honor of BROADWAY SINGS JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE at 54 Below tonight, here are some words of wisdom from the pop star himself...

You can say things a million times, but if you can't sing it, then it really isn't much of a song.
-- Justin Timberlake (via BrainyQuote)

What we're looking forward to listening to: LIVE OUT LOUD, out September 9th! The Shapiro Sisters, 11-year old Milly Shapiro (MATILDA) and older sister, 14-year-old Abigail Shapiro (HOW THE GRINCH STOLE CHRISTMAS), recorded the album live at 54 Below over a series of three performances this summer.

And finally, a Happy Birthday shout-out to Jane Lynch, who turns 55 today!

Lynch made her Broadway debut last year for a short stint as 'Miss Hannigan' in the ANNIE revival. The actress is well known for her role as the caustic cheerleading-coach-turned-principal 'Sue Sylvester' in FOX's GLEE. She has also appeared on television in Two and a Half Men, Party Down, The L Word, Easy to Assemble, Criminal Minds, Boston Legal, Web Therapy and more. Lynch is the current host of NBC's Hollywood Game Night.
