Oedipus, Robert Icke’s West End hit reimagining of the Sophocles tragedy starring Mark Strong and Lesley Manville, will transfer to Broadway this fall for a 14-week engagement as part of the Roundabout Theatre Company’s 2025-2026 season.

Produced by Sonia Friedman Productions, Sue Wagner, John Johnson, and Patrick Catullo, in association with the Roundabout, Oedipus will kick off the Roundabout’s upcoming season with performances beginning in November at the theater company’s Studio 54 Broadway venue.

Reprising their roles from the sold-out London staging, Strong plays Oedipus and Manville portrays Jacosta. Strong was last seen on Broadway in the 2015 Tony Award-winning A View From the Bridge (for which he earned a Tony nomination), and Manville, an Oscar nominee for her performance in 2017’s Phantom Thread, will be making her Broadway debut.

The official synopsis: “It’s Oedipus’s Election night. The polls predict a landslide victory. Everything is about to change.

Dancing With The Stars Season 33’s Halloween Night just wrapped up! After a night of fun, spooky routines, there are six couples left in the competition.

Everyone performed remarkably and worked hard to earn top scores and fans’ votes. But for one couple, it was time to leave the ballroom.

Who’s moving on to the next episode and who is out?

DWTS Was Filled With Top Scorers On Halloween Night

When the night began, many felt certain that NBA star Dwight Howard and his partner Daniella Karagach would go home. They’d been at the bottom of the leaderboard for a while now and the season is coming down to the wire.

However, their Contemporary to “Ring Around the Rosie” by District 78 was truly something out of a nightmare. The judges gave them a 28/30 for the routine, including the first 10 of the season.

It reminded many viewers of her...

Spoiler Alert: This story contains spoilers from the Oct. 29 episode of “Dancing With the Stars.”

For Halloween, the celebrities on “Dancing With the Stars” took on their nightmares, each performing a routine inspired by their biggest fears — from snakes, the boogeyman and killers, to dolls, the dark and vampires. And their biggest fear may have been elimination because everyone brought their A-games.

Daniella Karagach told partner Dwight Howard that he’d yet to complete a full routine without errors — so he did just that for their very creepy contemporary to “Ring Around the Rosie.” After their impressive routine, both competitors were in tears, explaining that they had overcome a tough week. It paid off — they received the first 10 of the season, and it came from Carrie Ann Inaba.

That was only the first 10 of the night, with Carrie Ann also giving the top score to Danny Amendola and Witney Carson...

Dancing With The Stars fans look forward to Halloween Night each and every year. It’s the perfect opportunity for the remaining contestants to show off their spooky side and get viewers in the holiday spirit.

So who had the top routine on Halloween Night? And who won the dance-offs? Keep reading to find out.

DWTS Contestants Earned Several 10s During The Individual Routines

For the vast majority of the season, Disney Channel actress Chandler Kinney and her partner Brandon Armstrong have dominated the leaderboard. They’re still near the front of the pack, but several competitors are hot on their heels.

Although Dwight Howard and Daniella Karagach had been at the bottom of the leaderboard, they astounded the judges and viewers with their frightening Contemporary routine to “Ring Around the Rosie” by District 78. Daniella generally excels at choreography on Halloween Night and this season didn’t disappoint. The judges...

Spooky season is always exciting on “Dancing with the Stars” as it allows the celebrities — and the show’s costume, makeup, and hair departments — to embrace their inner monsters. But on “Halloween Nightmares” night it will also give them a chance to face their fears. Here are the individual routines the stars and their pro partners will perform in the first round of competition.

On top of the individual routines, six couples will go head to head in a dance-off. Chandler Kinney and Brandon Armstrong are exempt from the dance-off after they received immunity during Disney Night.

Bit Bot Media and FreakZone Games teamed up for a video game adaptation of Richard O’Brien’s cult classic musical Rocky Horror Show. Now available on Steam and Nintendo, the sidescrolling 8-bit game, features chiptune renditions of the songs we all know and love, including Time Warp!, and I caught up with Bit Bot's Joshua Viola to learn more about the making of the game:

It's hard to believe it's been 50 years since the start of Rocky Horror Show. What was your first experience with the show and why does it mean so much to you?

Joshua Viola: I live in Denver, and just outside the city, we have one of the most incredible amphitheater venues in the world—Red Rocks. If you're not familiar with it, seriously, stop what you're doing and Google it. It’s breathtaking; nestled between towering red stone cliffs, right in the middle of nature.

The 1973 musical “The Rocky Horror Show,” immortalized in the 1975 film “The Rocky Horror Picture Show,” is getting a side-scrolling video game adaptation. “The Rocky Horror Show Video Game” is set for release next month across major consoles and Steam for computer platforms, timed to the Halloween spooky season.

Befitting the musical nature of “Rocky Horror,” the project even includes chiptune versions of songs from the films — including, but of course, the “Time Warp.” The game features 8-bit-styled graphics bringing the show’s sets and characters to life, combining ’80s nostalgia with the show’s ’70s retro vibes in the release from FreakZone Games and Metal X Entertainment/Bit Bot Media.

“‘The Rocky Horror Show’ is a unique experience that transcends traditional entertainment, and we wanted to bring that magic to gamers — whether they’re already fans of the IP or discovering it for the first time,” producer Joshua Viola said in a Thursday statement.

Besides being about fighting monsters and evil witches, the story of Sailor Moon is ultimately a love story. There are several characters who are a couple in the series, but there's one romance in particular which is the most relevant. In fact, these two characters' love for each other goes back to a different age - and it continues long afterward.

Before they were Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mask, the people also called Usagi Tsukino and Mamoru Chiba were Princess Serenity and Prince Endymion. Brought together by a forbidden love, their affection allowed them to be reborn and find each other once more. In fact, it's this relationship that forms the crux of Sailor Moon as a whole.

The Sailor Moon Eternal movie sees Usagi and her friends battling it out with the Dead Moon Circus to restore peace on Earth.

In the glitzy world of film, where box office revenue is the equivalent of high school popularity, some masterpieces are the proverbial “late bloomers.” They’re the ones who get their braces off after graduation and become prom kings and queens ….at the reunion, twenty years later. These horror gems, initially overshadowed by the cruel jests of critics or the cold shoulder from box office numbers, have risen like zombies from their graves to claim their rightful place in the pantheon of cult classics.

Let’s uncover these once-buried treasures of horror cinema!

Universal 7. The Thing (1982)

John Carpenter’s frosty extraterrestrial nightmare, The Thing, got the cold shoulder at the box office, scraping up just $19.6 million against its $15 million budget [source]. Critics weren’t kind either; the New York Times called it “instant junk”. Yet, this tale of Antarctic researchers battling shapeshifting aliens has since melted the hearts of horror buffs,...

The humble Spectrum was home to some remarkable games - including these underappreciated masterpieces...

I, like many, spend many years playing Spectrum games. I defended the computer in the school playground, I kept playing with the machine long after everyone had migrated to likes of the Atari St and Commodore Amiga, and I spent an unsavoury amount of my meagre pocket money building up my games collection.

However, a lot of lookbacks at the Spectrum era tend to focus on the big highlights. What I wanted to do here is put together a personal listing of 50 titles that don't seem to get that much attention.

So, if you're wondering why Gollop brothers games, anything by the late, great Mike Singleton, the acclaimed works of Ultimate, the likes of Exolon, Head Over Heels, Advanced Lawnmower Simulator, Match Day, Batty, Wizball, Firefly, Nebulus, Fairlight, The Sentinel,...

I want to try not to repeat myself. But then I seem to do it continuously in my films. It`s not something I make any effort to do. I just want to make films that are personal, but interesting to an audience. I feel I get criticized for style over substance, and for details that get in the way of the characters. But every decision I make is how to bring those characters forward.

The peerless inventiveness of the hive mind has at last hit on a sequel to planking

You know how it is. You had a few drinks last night. You can't quite remember how the evening ended. Now you're worried you, or someone you love, may have been Batmanning. Open your eyes. What do you see? It it the bottom of your bedroom door, upside down? Yes? Oh dear. You have been Batmanning. But don't panic: it's what all the groovy young kids are doing these days.

The peerless inventiveness of the hivemind has at last hit on a sequel to planking, the health-and-safety-bothering trend where people posted photographs of themselves lying flat out in a dangerous or improbable public place.

Horizontality is so last year. Now the thing to do is to suspend yourself upside down with your toes hooked over the edge of a door, wall or piece of piping.
