'Oh, what a good time to be alive/ I'm good at keepin' it cute, but on the inside/ I'm freakin' out, thinkin' 'bout how bad I need you,' she crooned as she moved through the set, posing in the faux window and on the fire escape.

'Shy' comes off Rapp's new album, Bite Me, which drops today via Interscope Records. It follows her 2023 debut LP, Snow Angel, and includes single 'Leave Me Alone,' which she debuted live a new song at the American Music Awards last year.
Rapp will kick off her Bite Me tour on Sept. 23 at Denver's Red Rocks Amphitheatre before heading to cities such as Chicago, Boston, Portland, San Francisco, Austin, and Atlanta. Syd and Ravyn Lenae, her 'favorites,' will split the run as openers for the shows. The tour also includes a headlining slot at Toronto's All Things Go festival. 'See you thereeee,' she wrote on Instagram.
In May, the singer stopped by the podcast Good Hang with Amy Poehler, and shared that her mom, Denise Rapp, specifically chose her name to ensure success. 'My mom chose my first and last name to be—well, okay, arguably chose my first and last name to both have R's,' Rapp told host Poehler. 'She was like, 'Alliteration, just in case she wants to be a pop star'… I'm obsessed with the way she did it. I'm like, 'Thank you, God.''

'Hamilton': Where is the original Broadway cast now?
He hasn't thrown away his shot. When "Hamilton" became a rare Broadway juggernaut 10 years ago, the hip-hop musical launched its ultra-talented star and creator, Lin-Manuel Miranda, into the pop culture stratosphere. In the decade since it opened on Broadway on Aug. 6, 2015, the show's original cast has similarly gone on to win Emmy, Grammy and Tony awards, and even been nominated for Oscars. Miranda, who played Founding Father Alexander Hamilton, recently announced that the pro-shot of the musical (already on Disney+) will hit theaters Sept. 5. Before then, here's where else you have seen the familiar faces who brought history to life onstage: Lin-Manuel Miranda Since "Hamilton" premiered a decade ago, Miranda has lent his songwriting prowess to Disney's "Moana," "Encanto," "The Little Mermaid" remake and "Mufasa: The Lion King." He also channeled Dick Van Dyke in "Mary Poppins Returns" with Emily Blunt, directed the Oscar-nominated "Tick, Tick … Boom!," and released a concept album "Warriors," based on the 1979 movie. 'Hamilton': As the musical heads to movie theaters, Lin-Manuel Miranda always knew it would last Leslie Odom Jr. The "Smash" alum won best leading actor in a musical for his performance as Aaron Burr in "Hamilton." He has since featured in "Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery" and "The Exorcist: Believer," and earned two Oscar nominations for his work on "One Night in Miami," in which he played soul legend Sam Cooke. He will next return to "Hamilton" for a limited engagement on Sept. 9. Phillipa Soo The theater veteran, who portrayed Eliza Hamilton, has gone on to shine in Broadway's "Into the Woods" and "Camelot," and "Jesus Christ Superstar" at the Hollywood Bowl with Cynthia Erivo. On TV, she's found success in "Shining Girls," "Dopesick" and "Doctor Odyssey." Renée Elise Goldsberry Goldsberry won best featured actress in a musical for playing Angelica Schuyler in "Hamilton." She was a comedic force in "Documentary Now!" and "Girls5Eva," and was recently the subject of a documentary, "Satisfied," about her journey to motherhood.

The ‘Hamilton' musical movie is coming to theaters this September
The hit Broadway musical 'Hamilton' is making its way to the big screen on Sept. 5. Lin-Manuel Miranda announced the theatrical release date for the Tony Award-winning musical Tuesday night during an interview on 'The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.' 'We always wanted to release it theatrically, but then the pandemic hit and so we decided to release it on streaming, so that everyone could see it at home whenever they wanted,' Miranda said on the show. '[Soon] you will be able to see 'Hamilton' in movie theaters nationwide and in Puerto Rico.' The show's cinematic release marks a major milestone: It's been nearly 10 years since the off-Broadway premiere of 'Hamilton,' which was based on the life of Alexander Hamilton, a founding father of the United States. Created by Miranda, who also composed the music, lyrics and book, the hip-hop- and R&B-inflected musical used source material from 'Alexander Hamilton,' a 2004 biography written by Ron Chernow. The musical went on to win 11 Tony Awards, including best musical, and the Pulitzer Prize for drama in 2016. The film was shot in June 2016, during a live performance at the Richard Rodgers Theatre on Broadway, and features much of the original cast. This includes Miranda as Alexander Hamilton; Leslie Odom Jr. as Aaron Burr; Renée Elise Goldsberry as Angelica Schuyler and Phillipa Soo as Eliza Hamilton. The film was originally slated for release in movie theaters in October 2021. Disney paid $75 million for worldwide movie rights in 2020 and released it later that year exclusively on its streaming platform; the film went on to win two Emmy Awards in 2021. The 'Hamilton' anniversary is being celebrated in more ways than one. Prior to Miranda's 'Tonight Show' interview, Madame Tussauds New York unveiled a wax figure of Miranda dressed as Alexander Hamilton at the Richard Rodgers Theatre. Two special performances of the hit musical will also take place at the same theater today. Every actor who has performed on the Broadway musical since its opening has been invited, according to the Associated Press. Attendees for the matinee were already selected via a lottery process and the evening performance is an invite-only fundraiser for the Immigrants: We Get the Job Done Coalition — a host of 14 immigrant service organizations that uplift immigrant communities across the country. Tickets for the film are now available for purchase.

Howard Stern's iconic radio show is facing cancelation as his $100M Sirius contract nears its end
Howard Stern's iconic radio show is set to be axed after a two-decade run with the broadcaster SiriusXM, according to a new report. The shock jock's contract with the digital radio giant is up for renewal soon, and SiriusXM doesn't expect he'll take them up on a new offer, sources told British tabloid The Sun. The Howard Stern Show experienced a surge in popularity after it was nationally syndicated on terrestrial radio from 1986 to 2005. Stern, known for his direct and controversial persona, has interviewed dozens of A-list celebrities and even former Vice President Kamala Harris, a month before voters headed to the polls in November 2024. In recent years, he has been openly critical of President Trump, saying he 'hated Trump voters,' and branded them as stupid – an opinion that Trump retaliated to by saying that Stern "went woke" and lost listeners as a result. Stern's contract is up in the fall, and while Sirius is planning to make him an offer, they don't intend for him to take it, an insider told The Sun. 'Sirius and Stern are never going to meet on the money he is going to want. It's no longer worth the investment,' the person added. In 2004, Stern became one of the highest-paid radio figures in the U.S. after signing a five-year deal with SiriusXM worth $500 million. The insider claims that SiriusXM was not going to be able to keep up with paying Stern his salary. "But as far as him coming back to doing the show, there's no way they can keep paying his salary," the source said. "After you saw what happened with Stephen Colbert, it's like they just can't afford to keep him going." Another Sun source said Stern's political views were not working in his favor. "If Sirius isn't going to give Stern a good offer, I don't think it would have anything to do with his ratings," the source claimed. "It's more likely everything to do with the political climate." CBS recently announced that Colbert's The Late Show was set to be scrapped because of 'a financial decision,' however, many speculated that the move came because of the host's frequent satirical blows to Trump. Stern joined SiriusXM at age 50 in response to 'censorship' efforts during his time at Viacom by the Federal Communications Commission, which does not regulate the content of satellite programs. The FCC had been fining Stern's station for over a decade. Stern became the most fined radio host between 1990 and 2004, after the FCC issued fines totaling $2.5 million to radio licensees for airing material it considered to be indecent from his show, the highest amount of any American radio show. During his time as a judge on the talent TV series America's Got Talent from 2012 to 2015, his appointment was criticized by The Parents Television Council, the watchdog group that bemoans any suggestion of sex or profanity on TV, for his "reputation for sleaze and misogyny.' The Independent contacted Stern's representatives and SiriusXM for comment. Solve the daily Crossword
