Ledisi lands first Broadway principal role as she joins new musical ‘Wanted’

May 13, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Ledisi is returning to Broadway, this time as star. After serving as a standby for the 2004 production of Caroline, or Change, the singer has landed the role of Tallulah Clarke in the new musical Wanted.

The musical follows sisters Mary and Martha Clarke, played by Solea Pfeiffer and Liisi LaFontaine, two Black women who pass for white and become outlaws in an effort to save their mother and preserve their family’s legacy. Tallulah Clarke is their mother.

“I am beyond thrilled to join the cast of Wanted. My first Broadway principal role, and I still can’t believe it,” Ledisi said in a statement. “I keep thinking about the journey, God’s timing, and the importance of legacy.”

“I’m grateful to Angelica Chéri, Ross Baum, Stevie Walker-Webb, and our producers for trusting me with the role of Tallulah, and to my family, friends, and team for giving me the courage to say ‘yes,’” she continued. “I love being a recording artist, and that will never change. Theatre has always been part of my vision as a storyteller. This isn’t a pivot… It’s another expansion of me. And I’m just getting started.”

Wanted begins previews at The James Earl Jones Theatre on Oct. 15 and officially opens Nov. 8.

Fans can now register for access to the presale, which starts June 16 at 10 a.m. ET at Wantedmusical.com. Tickets go on sale to the public June 23 at 10 a.m. ET. Groups of 10 or more can purchase tickets now through March 31 on Broadway Inbound.

May 13, 2026 by WDNY Radio

My Chemical Romance has shared a teaser post related to the band’s 2010 album, Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys.

The post, which went up on MCR’s Instagram Wednesday, features an image of the Danger Days cover artwork with the letters XV imposed over it. The letters could be the Roman numeral for 15, though Danger Days technically turns 16 in 2026.

My Chem simply writes “Tomorrow” in the caption, suggesting we’ll find out what’s up on Thursday.

My Chemical Romance is also headlining the Sonic Temple festival on Thursday. They’ll then head to Europe before launching a U.S. stadium tour in August, during which they’re celebrating the 20th anniversary of their 2006 opus, The Black Parade.

Danger Days, meanwhile, remains the last My Chemical Romance album before the band broke up in 2013. They reunited in 2019 and put out one new single, “The Foundations of Decay,” in 2022.

Alex Van Halen says Van Halen reached out to Michael Anthony about 2006 David Lee Roth reunion

May 13, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Alex Van Halen is setting the record straight about not having Michael Anthony in Van Halen for their 2006 reunion with original frontman David Lee Roth.

In an interview with the Brazilian outlet KazaGastão, Alex says that when the band decided to reunite with Roth they reached out to Anthony, but wound up going with Eddie Van Halen’s son Wolfgang Van Halen when Anthony didn’t respond.

“We did call,” Alex says. “To put the record straight, we did call Mike cause we owed him that, and we did call, he just didn’t answer.”

“You know, and I’m not angry at him, I love Mike,” he adds, noting that he was his “drinking buddy.”

Alex says Wolfgang wound up getting the gig because he impressed him and Eddie in the studio.

“People think … that there’s family influences in how he became part of the band, which is just simply not true,” he says.

Anthony’s last tour with Van Halen was their 2004 reunion tour with Sammy Hagar. Anthony is currently playing with Hagar on his The Best of All Worlds Tour, which has Hagar performing a set filled with Va Halen classics. The next U.S. leg launches June 13 in St. Louis.

Watch *NSYNC’s Joey Fatone and Lance Bass reunite on Broadway for ‘It’s Gonna Be Me’

May 13, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Fans who attended the evening performance of the Broadway musical & Juliet on Tuesday night were rewarded with a mini-*NSYNC reunion.

Joey Fatone, who has appeared in & Juliet on Broadway and in the touring production of the show, was in the house on Tuesday night to lead a special singalong. During a performance of *NSYNC’s “It’s Gonna Be Me,” featuring Joey and the whole cast, none other than Lance Bass popped up at the end to join in the fun. Of course, the audience went nuts.

“It’s Gonna Be Me” is actually a regular part of & Juliet, because the entire show is built around the hits of Max Martin, including “Roar,” “Since U Been Gone,” “Can’t Stop the Feeling!” “…Baby One More Time,” “I Want It That Way” and more.

According to People, Lance almost didn’t make it, because he was seeing another musical, Titanique, in a different theater. But since that show was just 90 minutes long, Lance was able to run across Times Square and arrive just in time for the performance.

“I almost got hit by six taxicabs, but I made it by the last note!” Lance said in an Instagram video.

To bring the story full circle, Joey is actually a co-producer on Titanique, along with *NSYNC’s JC Chasez and others.

As previously reported, Joey and Lance are co-hosting a new reality competition series on E! this summer called Cocktail Wars, where mixologists face off against each other to win $10,000.
