Roundabout Theatre Company presents Diane Lane, Chuck Cooper, Tavi Gevinson, John Glover, Celia Keenan-Bolger, Harold Perrineau and Joel Grey in a new production of The Cherry Orchard, which opens tonight and will play as a limited engagement through December 4, 2016 on Broadway at the American Airlines Theatre (227 West 42nd Street). BroadwayWorld has all the reviews for you below as they roll in. Let's see what the critics had to say:

The long-awaited documentary about the making of Hamilton, and how the musical connects to the real-life Hamilton and his world, recently premiered at the 54th New York Film Festival. Following the screening, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Renee Elise Goldsberry, and Ron Chernow (author of the biography upon which Miranda's musical was based) sat down to answer questions about the documentary, an artist's perspective on the current political and social climate in America, the gift of deadlines, and more. 

While promoting her new Netflix series, Haters Back Off, Colleen Ballinger stopped by Jimmy Fallon this weekend to transform into her famous character, Miranda Sings, and give Jimmy Miranda's hosting tips, since, according to Miranda, he's not 'a very good host.' Miranda was even kind enough to walk Fallon through a simulation of how he should talk to guests, as well as how he should introduce movie and TV show clips.

Step back in time to a decadent Jazz Age blues club. Cabaret diva Mama Alto invites you to a unique and fleeting world: step into a smoky and mysterious 1930s blues club. Welcome to the Jazz Age, doll. The darling of the demimonde is here to sing her heart out for you, despite uncertain winds of change howling just outside. Velvet and smoke, debauchery and treachery, crystal chandeliers and bootleg moonshine, scandal and danger, flappers and politicians, clashing ideologies and syncopated melodies… A world verging on turmoil. Is it so different from our own?

As if she didn't already have her hands full playing both Yitzhak and the title role in Hedwig and the Angry Inch on tour, Tony Winner Lena Hall took time off from the stage to sing the national anthem for game 3 of the National League Championship Series between the San Francisco Giants and the Chicago Cubs. Check out the video below!

Help us put this amazing musical on stage, invite all of your friends that can sing and dance and want to be a part of something amazing in the theatre history of Staunton, Va. From the underground dance clubs of 1950s Memphis, Tennessee, comes the Tony Award winning musical that bursts off the stage with explosive dancing,  irresistible songs  and a thrilling tale of fame and forbidden love.

Theater Latte Da continues its season with the classic Broadway musical, Ragtime. It's the turn-of-the-century, everything is changing and anything is possible. Based on E.L. Doctorow's landmark novel, Ragtime is set in the volatile melting pot of New York City. Three distinct American stories are woven together-a determined Jewish immigrant, a daring Harlem musician, and a stifled woman of privilege united by their courage, compassion and belief in a better tomorrow. Together they confront what it means to be an American at the dawn of a new century. With a compelling book by Terrence McNally and a glorious score by Stephen Flaherty and Lynn Ahrens, Ragtime was nominated for 13 Tony Awards and was awarded Best Book and Best Score.

Heather Headley played her last performance as Shug Avery in The Color Purple today, and the entire cast gathered together at curtain call to send her off with the most fitting tribute: a group performance of the Gospel song 'I Won't Complain.'

West End Bares looks back to September when Graham Norton, Samantha Bond, Michelle Visage and David Bedella alongside a host of performers took to the stage of the Novello Theatre for the seventh annual West End Bares, raising money for MAD Trust!

The Huntington Theatre Company opened its 35th anniversary season with Stephen Sondheim's Pulitzer Prize-winning masterpiece Sunday in the Park with George. Performances run through October 16, 2016 at the Avenue of the Arts / BU Theatre.

The audience of Michael Feinstein's concert at Feinstein's at the Nikko got lucky last night when he invited legend of the star and stage, his friend Liza Minnelli, up to the stage with him to perform 'I Love A Piano.' The number was dedicated to the celebration and memory of Minnelli's mother, beloved actress Judy Garland. 

As if one Donald Trump wasn't scary enough, Saturday Night Live returned last night for a new season and with it came the return of the show's election commentary, including Alec Baldwin as the new Donald Trump, following the departure of former cast member Taran Killam. Featuring Trump complaining about his microphone being 'bad,' frequently interrupting Secretary Clinton, and his continued lies about issues such as his support of the Iraq war, the cold open sketch takes on a recap of the first Presidential Debate, with Emmy-winner Kate McKinnon resuming her role as Hillary Clinton, and Michael Che taking on the role of the debate moderator, Lester Holt.

Apparently the call of the Saturday Night Live stage was too strong for Lin-Manuel Miranda to wait for a visit until his hosting gig this upcoming Saturday; everyone's favorite PBS rapper (as Steve Harvey likes to call him) joined the show one week early to appear on the Celebrity Family Feud: Political Edition segment. Of course, as we all know, Miranda's a little busy right now, so comedian Cecily Strong stepped up to fill in for the freestyle icon.

Fans may not be able to see the epic Ham4HamShow outside the Richard Rodgers anymore, but Joshua Henry, who plays Burr in the current Chicago production of Hamilton, is keeping them musically entertained in the meantime. Henry's taken to posting videos of himself (and, sometimes, other cast members) covering songs from the beloved show. His latest take is an acoustic cover of Obedient Servant, and you can check out the video below!
