If you have heard good things about Trey Parker and Matt Stone’s new hit Broadway musical, “The Book Of Mormon”, but have been unable to snag tickets – there’s good news. The musical, which CBS reports has been the gold standard for Theater after being nominated for 14 Tony Awards in 2011, will head to the silver screen in the near future. How long will we have to wait before the adventures of Andrew and Josh in Uganda come to a movie theater near you? Click ahead to read the latest developments in the works…

MARVEL’S AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D. Episode 6: Fzzt (T.V. review)

November 6th, 2013

Steven D'Arcangelo

The title of this episode — Fzzt — is not a misspelling of Agent Fitz’s name. Nor is it the latest, greatest energy drink (Drink Fzzt to stay strong!). Instead it’s the onomatopoeic version of the electrical sound that precedes each death in this week’s S.H.I.E.L.D. adventure (Yeah, you read that right — proper use of a $5 word like “onomatopoeic.” Beyond the Marquee spares no expense for our readers’ enjoyment).

This episode contains some juicy red herrings and misleads resulting in a solid mystery. If you haven’t watched it yet, you should do so before reading on. Otherwise… read on.

Disney XD Teams with NBA for “Pranksgiving”

November 4th, 2013

Beyond the Marquee

NBA players will join Disney XD in “giving pranks” throughout November as Disney XD returns the hit programming event “Pranksgiving,” beginning today. A specially drafted NBA pranking crew—Tyson Chandler (New York Knicks), Stephen Curry (Golden State Warriors), Kenneth Faried (Denver Nuggets) and DeAndre Jordan (Los Angeles Clippers)—get in the pranking game with the comedic and unpredictable puppet Crash (of the sitcom Crash & Bernstein) and together, they pull fun and over-the-top tricks on Disney XD’s biggest stars. Each Monday, a new fan-voted prank will be revealed on Disney XD along with new prank-themed episodes including Dwight Howard (Houston Rockets) guest starring in the new comedy series Mighty Med.

“Pranksgiving” will also feature the return of the hidden camera series Just Kidding and the launch of a comedic Japanese-style game show Japanizi: Going, Going, Gong! Both series will roll out with new episodes weeknights throughout the month beginning tonight (7:00 p.m. and 7:30 p.m., ET/PT, respectively).

This evening (8:30 p.m., ET/PT), Dwight Howard guest stars as The Great Defender, a superhero with the ability to create a defensive shield and make powers rebound off of him, in the new sitcom Mighty Med. When Kaz and Oliver (played by popular Disney stars Bradley Steven Perry and Jake Short) learn that pranks do not exist in the world of their superhero friend Skylar (played by newcomer Paris Berelc), they set out to teach her how to prank. When The Great Defender joins in, he takes the pranks too far and wreaks havoc on the hospital.
