Ariana Grande showed support for her boyfriend Ethan Slater at the opening night performance of his Broadway musical Spamalot!

The 30-year-old singer and Wicked actress wore a black and matching overcoat while arriving at the St. James Theatre on Thursday night (November 16) in New York City.

Ariana was spotted with her blonde Glinda hair along with a red lip and pearl earrings.

Ethan is playing a bunch of roles in the revival of the Tony-winning musical, including Not Dead Fred and Prince Herbert. He was joined on the red carpet by co-stars James Monroe Iglehart, Leslie Rodriguez Kritzer, Taran Killam, Michael Urie, Christopher Fitzgerald, Nik Walker, and Jimmy Smagula.

Ariana has already attended several performances of Spamalot, including the first preview on Halloween.

For those who don’t know, Ariana and Ethan met on the set of the Wicked movies and they just spent a night at another Broadway show this past weekend.

The beloved musical Spamalot is returning to Broadway this season and the first photos of the cast have been released!

James Monroe Iglehart, Leslie Rodriguez Kritzer, Christopher Fitzgerald, and Ethan Slater are leading the cast of the Monty Python musical.

Also starring are Taran Killam, Jimmy Smagula, Michael Urie, and Nik Walker.

The musical, featuring a book and lyrics by Eric Idle, is “lovingly ripped off” from the classic movie Monty Python and the Holy Grail. “Everything that makes a great knight in the theatre is here, from flying cows to killer rabbits, British royalty to French taunters, dancing girls, rubbery shrubbery, and of course, the Lady of the Lake,” the synopsis reads.

Performances begin at the St. James Theatre on October 31 ahead of opening night on November 16.

Ethan, best known for playing the title role in the SpongeBob SquarePants musical, will be seen in the upcoming movie musical Wicked and he’s currently dating co-star Ariana Grande.

The lead roles for the upcoming Off-Broadway musical adaption of Disney’s Hercules have been revealed!

The Public Theater announced that Hercules will be played by Jelani Alladin – who originated the role of Kristoff in the Broadway production of Frozen.

James Monroe Iglehart – who won a Tony Award for playing the Genie in Aladdin – will be playing the sarcastic satyr Phil.

Spring Awakening‘s Krysta Rodriguez will play Meg, while Roger Bart – who provided the singing voice of young Hercules in the 1997 animated film – will play Hades.

The Hercules musical will be directed by Lear deBessonett and will be presented by a special arrangement with Disney Theatrical Productions. The show will be playing a free run from August 31 to September 8 at the Public Theater’s Delacorte Theater in Central Park.

Lin-Manuel Miranda‘s “Freestyle Love Supreme” is coming to Broadway!

The 39-year-old composer and his improvisational hip-hop group will start a 16-week run from September to January at Booth Theater, Playbill reports.

Lin-Manuel will co-produce and make surprise appearances in the show.

Other occasional performers include Christopher Jackson, James Monroe Iglehart, Wayne Brady, and Daveed Diggs. The core cast includes Andrew Bancroft, Arthur Lewis, Bill Sherman, Chris Sullivan, Anthony Veneziale, and Utkarsh Ambudkar.

The musical, which has already had a sold-out run downtown this year, will start previews on September 13 and open on October 2.

“Fifteen years ago, when ‘Freestyle Love Supreme’ was first developed, the idea of bringing our little improv show to Broadway seemed completely out of the realm of possibility,” Lin-Manuel Miranda and Thomas Kail said in a statement. “But it is out of that improbability that FLS has found this new home, thanks to legions of loyal fans—first at Ars Nova, at various festivals around the world, then with one-off shows, and most recently with our off-Broadway run last winter. We’ve had many of our happiest and most fulfilling creative moments working on FLS and are excited to see its next chapter unfold at the Booth Theatre. It is a show that consistently surprises us: we have no idea what to expect any time we do it— and isn’t that the true beauty of live theater? ‘Freestyle Love Supreme’ wouldn’t want or have it any other way!”

Tickets go on sale to the general public on July 9.
