Back in August, Dillon Francis and Flosstradamus announced that they would be taking over La with a co-headlining show dubbed Dillstradamus Presents: Idgafos Hdyfest 3Union. Despite the ridiculous name, as well as the recent departure of Flosstradamus member Josh Young, Francis and the former duo’s sole remaining member Curt Cameruci still managed to hold down one last Dillstradamus performance, offering up some fresh material along the way.
To celebrate the first night of Hanukkah, Dillon Francis took to Snapchat to tease some new material he put together for the show, specifically a remix of the iconic Hebrew folk song “Hava Nagila.” For his remix, Francis injects some bass into the traditional tune to deliver a dancefloor ready edit. Few producers could make such an unlikely pairing work, but the “Get Low” producer pulls it off in style.

In a surprising turn of events, Josh Young of Flosstradamus has announced that he’s decided to depart from the trap outfit in order to focus on his solo efforts. Taking to Instagram, the producer and DJ revealed that while grateful for the opportunities afforded to him as one half of Flosstradamus, he intends to focus on his solo music as Me2.
The Me2 moniker was announced by Josh earlier in the summer, though at the time it was simply thought to be a side project. The DJ reveals that he came to the decision to leave Flosstradamus earlier in the summer, but waited until their tour was wrapped up to make the announcement. He also made it clear that there were no hard feelings between him and remaining member Curt Cameruci.
Thank You For All The Memories ⚠️✌️

Whether web-slinging behind Angela Lansbury and Ted Chapin or leading a spectacular production number with Patti LuPone and a lawnmower, Harris proved yet again why is he is the best in the biz at this sort of thing - well, right up there along with Hugh Jackman, at least. Speaking of whom, in addition to a goosebump-inducing trailer for the forthcoming Tom Hooper-directed film adaptation of the Broadway sensation Les Miserables, Hugh Jackman was featured on the Tony Awards telecast and personally on hand to receive a well-earned special Tony Award for his many fundraising successes over the course of his three-show Broadway career, as was crossover superstar Bernadette Peters who took...

Josh Young, Best Performance by an Actor in a Featured Role in a Musical for Jesus Christ Superstari feel amazing. I honestly didn't expect a thing so I wasn't the least bit nervous. I figured I would sleep in as late as possible and wake up to find out that my show was nominated but that I wasn't. But, when I got up to walk the dog and checked my phone and saw a text from my agent saying 'atta boy These past couple of months have been a crazy roller coaster and have been some of the hardest weeks of my life. I was sidelined with a horrible chest infection and couldn't breathe, but trying to do the show as much as I could...and let me tell you, if there is ever a role where you need to breathe it's 'Judas.' So I'm just so appreciative to...

The 2012 Tony Award nominations were announced this morning by Kristin Chenoweth and Jim Parsons, with the musicals leading the pack. "Once" -- adapted from the popular indie film -- came out on top with 11 nominations, The Gershwins' "Porgy and Bess" and "Nice Work If You Can Get It," both also musicals, trailed close behind with 10 a piece, and "Follies" and "Newsies" took a respectable eight each.
"Peter and the Starcatcher" picked up nine nominations, the most for a play, edging out this year's closest thing to a favorite, Arthur Miller's "Death of a Salesman," which gained seven. Philip Seymour Hoffman predictably earned a nod for his turn as Willy Loman in "Salesman," alongside fellow big names James Earl Jones ("The Best Man") and John Lithgow ("The Columnist"). Ricky Martin's divisive portrayal of Che in "Evita" got no love. "Evita," however, did snatch three nods, including one for best revival of a musical.
