Musicals ‘& Juliet,’ ‘Dear Evan Hansen’ seek Olivier awards

LONDON » Pop-Shakespearean musical “& Juliet” leads the race for Britain’s Olivier theater awards, where “Fleabag” creator Phoebe Waller-Bridge is up for two trophies.

The “Romeo and Juliet”-inspired show, with music by Swedish songwriter Max Martin, has nine nominations, including best new musical.

Trevor Nunn’s revival of “Fiddler on the Roof” was nominated in eight categories on Tuesday, while Broadway import “Dear Evan Hansen” is up for seven prizes.

The one-woman stage version of Waller-Bridge’s barbed sitcom “Fleabag” is nominated for best entertainment or comedy play. Waller-Bridge is also nominated for best actress in a play, competing with Hayley Atwell for “Rosmersholm,” Sharon D. Clarke for “Death of a Salesman,” and Juliet Ste

Hilary Duff seeks new ‘Lizzie McGuire’ TV home on Hulu

LOS ANGELES » Hilary Duff is asking Disney to find a TV home that’s more appropriate to the grownup “Lizzie McGuire.”

In an Instagram post, the actress who’s reprising the title character for Disney Plus, said the streaming service isn’t the best fit, suggesting Hulu instead. The original series, about a girl whose thoughts are expressed by her animated doppelganger, aired from 2001 to 2004 on the Disney Channel.

“Was incredibly excited to launch ‘Lizzie’ on D+ and my passion remains,” Duff said in her post. “However, I feel a huge responsibility to honor the fans’ relationship with Lizzie who, like me, grew up seeing themselves in her. I’d be doing a disservice to everyone by limiting the realities of a 30-year-old’s journey to live under the ceiling of a PG rating.”

Dylan and Ronan Farrow blast upcoming Woody Allen memoir

NEW YORK » An upcoming memoir by Woody Allen is being blasted by two of his children, daughter Dylan Farrow and author-journalist Ronan Farrow.

Dylan Farrow, who alleged Allen molested her as a child in the early 1990s, calls the upcoming release “deeply upsetting.” Allen has denied any wrongdoing, and he was never charged after two separate investigations.

Grand Central Publishing, a division of Hachette Book Group, announced Monday that the book is called “Apropos of Nothing” and will be released April 7.

Allen’s agreement with Hachette means that he shares a publisher with one of his biggest detractors, his son Ronan Farrow, whose “Catch and Kill” was released last year by the Hachette division Little, Brown and Co.

“Hachette’s publishing of Woody Allen’s memoir is deeply upsetting to me personally and an utter betrayal of my brother whose brave reporting, capitalized on by Hachette, gave voice to numerous survivors of sexual assault by powerful men,” Dylan Farrow said in a statement late Monday.

Dylan Farrow added that she was never contacted by fact-checkers for the memoir: “This provides yet another example of the profound privilege that power, money and notoriety affords. Hachette’s complicity in this should be called out for what it is and they should have to answer for it.”

Her brother, Ronan, blasted his publisher in a statement posted on Twitter Tuesday night for its decision to publish Allen’s memoir and not fact check it with his sister. He also said he had no notice that Allen’s book was forthcoming.

“It’s wildly unprofessional in multiple obvious directions for Hachette to behave this way,” said Farrow, who won a Pulitzer Prize along with reporters for

for his reporting for on Harvey Weinstein’s sexual abuse of women.

“But it also shows a lack of ethics and compassion for victims of sexual abuse, regardless of any personal connection or breach of trust here,” he said

An email message seeking comment from the Hachette labels Grand Central Publishing and Little, Brown and Co. were not immediately returned.
