THEATER

Mad Feminist

The final episodes of Mad Men don’t air until April, but Elisabeth Moss is continuing Peggy Olson’s feminist crusade on Broadway. The actor will star opposite Orange Is the New Black’s Jason Biggs in a revival of Wendy Wasserstein’s Pulitzer Prize–winning play The Heidi Chronicles, opening March 19 at the Music Box Theatre. The play begins in the 1960s and follows Moss’s character through three decades as she grapples with society’s expectations of how women ought to achieve happiness. If Peggy posed the question, Can women have it all?, Heidi may help supply an answer.

TELEVISION

The King and E!

The Kardashians are getting some competition as E! royalty. The cable network’s first original scripted series, The Royals, stars Elizabeth Hurley and Vincent Regan as a fictional British Queen and King struggling to control their wild kids under intense public scrutiny. The show premieres March 15.

MUSIC

Strangers No More

It’s been eight years since Modest Mouse released its last album. On March 17, it’s finally dropping a new LP, Strangers to Ourselves. Front man Isaac Brock has said that one of the album’s singles, “The Best Room,” was inspired by a UFO sighting–and took him 20 years to write.

TELEVISION

Friday Night Binge

Kyle Chandler is widely remembered as Friday Night Lights’ honorable Eric Taylor. Now the creators of Damages, who recruited the actor for their new show Bloodline, streaming on Netflix on March 20, are playing off that. “Coach Taylor was an honest man,” Chandler says. “The writers like that because they can manipulate the audience. My character does bad things and people think, ‘Cut him a break! He must have a reason.'”
