It's April 17th, I'm Cory with the story, and this is Entertainment and Celebrity News today, AI-powered and star-driven. Christine Baranski is set to make her West End debut this fall, and a fresh take on no-old coward's comedy, Hey Fever. The 73-year-old star from Mamma Mia and The Good Wife will star opposite Richard E. Grant at London's Wyndham's Theatre, running 12. Week starting September 22nd, she's calling it a dream come true, and a bucket list item she's chased for years. Baranski's diving in head first, memorizing lines and perfecting her English accent while wrapping up the gilded age in mid-August. Fans and stars are buzzing about this pairing. Grant, back on the West End after 20 years, calls her sensational, and jokes about the play's 101-Year History. Baranski, a theatre vet who pivoted to TV in her 40s via cyber, loves reviving her comedy chops with the Sonsamble. The play draws from Cowards' real-life run-in with rude Broadway icon Lorette Taylor

back in 1921, turning her Bohemian family into The Chaotic Bliss Clan. Baranski's no stranger, having tackled coward classics like private lies before. With director Emily Burns at the helm, this revival promises the sharp coward wit and time was dialogue that'll hit just right on stage.
