'David Letterman's Last 'Late Show' Also Means Paul Shaffer's Disbanding the CBS Orchestra

  • 'Jake Gyllenhaal to Make Musical Debut as Seymour in 'Little Shop of Horrors,' Opposite Taran Killam from 'SNL'

    After starring opposite Ruth Wilson in Constellations on Broadway, Jake Gyllenhaal will soon make his musical theater debut as the nerdy florist Seymour in Encores! Off-Center production of Alan Menken and Howard Ashman's 'Little Shop of Horrors.' According to New York mag's Vulture, Gyllenhaal appears to be getting more comfortable on stage. Fortunately for proto-Gyllenhaal fans, 'Little Shop of Horrors' is reminiscent of Gyllenhaal's more kooky and quirky works such as 'Bubble Boy' and even 'Donnie Darko.' Originally slated as a one-night-only performance, the Dick Scanlan-directed concert production will now play three performances at New York's City Center on July 1 and 2, 2015 according to 'Entertainment Weekly.'
