I am only continuing doing that to avoid future confusion but the “confusion” is already set in place because I started labelling. Just thought I would let you guys know Tweet

Riggs said “The Standbys” will be shown at the Seattle International Film Festival in June, and she is seeking a distributor.

The documentary tells the stories of Merwin Foard, standby for star Nathan Lane in the now-closed “The Addams Family”; Ben Crawford, standby and eventual replacement for Brian d’Arcy James as the green ogre in “Shrek The Musical”; and Aléna Watters, who briefly was standby for the role of Anita in the recent revival of “West Side Story” and was a swing for Bette Midler’s backup singers in her Las Vegas show.

The film depicts their highs and lows as they win and lose jobs as well as their interactions with family, friends and “significant others.”

There also are interviews with performers such as David Hyde Pierce, Bebe Neuwirth, Cheyenne Jackson and Jonathan Groff, who share their memories of working as standbys or understudys.

Foard, who also was a standby in “Sweeney Todd” and “Kiss Me Kate” and has performed in 10 other Broadway shows, said standbys must do 99% of their preparation on their own.

The film shows him rehearsing lines with his young daughter and follows him on a Sunday when he learns that he would be playing the lead role in “The Addams Family” on Broadway that afternoon. “The Standbys” includes interviews with audience members outside the theater before and after that performance.

We speculated for months, and we finally got our confirmation: Glee will be taking on the show-within-a-show format next season by following some characters to New York, most likely Kurt (Chris Colfer), Rachel (Lea Michele) and Finn (Cory Monteith).

But how does the cast really feel about the new direction of Glee? Colfer and Michele gave us the inside look inside Ryan Murphy’s brain. Plus, they spilled on Sarah Jessica Parker and Kate Hudson guest starring in season four as Kurt and Rachel’s mentors.
“Next year will be a renaissance. Two shows within a show,” Fox boss Kevin Reilly said today at the network’s upfront presentation. “We’ll follow some of our graduates to the Big Apple as they try to cut it at a college for the performing arts.” So how did the stars take the news?

“We were with Ryan last night, and he gave us basically the arc of next year for our characters,” Michele told our Kristin Dos Santos. “I just sat there and didn’t speak and tried to memorize and remember everything. And things change throughout the year, but it’s very exciting. I was super happy. Cory was happy.”

Speaking of Cory, here’s what Michele had to say about Finn and Rachel in the season finale: “There’s a turn, one way or another. It’s definitely left with a cliffhanger. There’s a very big cliffhanger for us.” Ruh-roh. Is Rachel pregnant?! Sorry, our speculation monster got all riled up inside us. Carry on.

As for Kurt and Blaine’s (Darren Criss) status, come graduation, Colfer promises a definite resolution, unlike the Finchel cliffhanger. “They definitely zig and then at the end of the finale they have to zag,” he says. “They are going to zig and zag. They don’t really have a cliffhanger.”

“Theirs is resolved one way or another,” Michele adds.

As previously announced today, Sarah Jessica Parker and Kate Hudson have both signed on for multi-episode arcs, and Reilly promises more big names coming for season four. Reilly called Hudson “charming and effervescent,” and Michele whole-heartedly agrees.

“I’ve loved her since Almost Famous,” she gushed. “I think she’s one of the best comedic actresses. I cannot wait to work with her. What Ryan has in store for she and I is so exciting.”

Sarah Jessica Parker is returning to the small screen next fall for the first time since her Sex and the City days via a multiple-episode guest stint on Glee. Additionally, Kate Hudson will join the cast for a six-episode arc.

Parker will allegedly play a mentor to Chris Colfer’s Kurt, while details on Hudson’s character remain under wraps.

Meanwhile, Fox president Kevin Reilly confirmed Monday morning on a conference call with reporters that the Thursday-bound musical comedy will adopt a “show-within-a-show” format next season as it juggles McKinley High life and Rachel and Kurt’s Big Apple NYADA adventures.

Regarding the show’s move to Thursday night, Reilly said the inherent compatibility between Glee and X Factor/American Idol made it a “win-win.”
