Here's what's happening on Broadway:

"High School" blonde: Reality show participant turned "Legally Blonde" Broadway star Bailey Hanks will play Sharpay in "High School Musical" at the Paper Mill Playhouse in New Jersey, Nov. 5-Dec. 7.

Sue me: Producers of the revival of "Guys and Dolls," which will open on Broadway in March, have announced Oliver Platt will play Nathan Detroit. He has been nominated for Tonys before, but I'm not so sure about the casting choice. As a side note, "G&D" will be the first musical at the Nederlander since "Rent" started 12 years ago.

"Planet Broadway": The folks at Planet Hollywood are offering something new. On Sunday mornings at 11, they'll be doing "Planet Broadway" — a behind-the-scenes look that takes you from the auditions to opening night. It will also feature a live appearance from a current working actor.
