Hai, Nerds! Time once again to take a look at this week’s ten nerdy news bites!

10. Ant-man & The Wasp?

Congrats to Sharon Stone! She has joined the MCU family! I’m sure Sebastian Stan is happy about this. (wink wink) There are a few theories of who she could be playing, my favorite comes from The Real Stan Lee, suggesting she may be the original Wasp. What are your thoughts nerds?

8. Moana

Moana’s teaser was released during the Tony awards this week featuring Dwayne Johnson and music from Lin-Manuel. Can’t wait to see this!

For any Broadway nerds, the Tonys were exceptional. If you missed the show, hosted by James Corden, you can watch the highlighted performances or the entire show, here. I wanted to share one of my favorites opening performances ever!

It’s been reported the Shrek franchise may be revived due to NBCUniversal acquiring DreamWorks Animation. See more here.

2. Broadway HD & She Loves Me

I was super excited for Broadway HD when it launched. Now we have word that She Loves Me will be the first Broadway show to be live streamed June 30th! The show will be available the following week, as well. See here for more details. This is the future!

1. Orlando

It has been a very difficult week in the news. Our hearts and thoughts are with Orlando. But amidst the sadness and horror, it’s overwhelming to witness the outpouring of love and compassion from around the world. Broadway’s biggest stars are coming together to raise their voices in support of the victims and those wounded. More information on the single (set to be released June 20th) can be found here on the PlayBill website.

If you have been considering supporting the Pulse Victims, please find the official Go Fund Me page here and you can also order Lin-Manuel Miranda’s official “Love is Love” tee here which will benefit Equality Cares in Florida.

Love is love is love is love is love…
