Hunter Schafer has joined the cast of the upcoming Hunger Games prequel The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes. The star will play Tigris Snow, the cousin and confidant of Coriolanus, who eventually becomes the tyrannical president of the Capitol and Panem.

Schafer is best known for her role as Jules Vaughan on Euphoria’s teen drama Euphoria, for which she has received widespread critical acclaim.

The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes will mark her film debut. Benediction star Tom Blyth has been cast as Coriolanus (previously played by Donald Sutherland), who is “alarmed when he assigned to mentor” Lucy Gray Baird, the girl tribute from the impoverished District 12.

An official synopsis for the film reads: “But, after Lucy Gray commands all of Panem’s attention by defiantly singing during the reaping ceremony, Snow thinks he might be able to turn the odds in their favor. “Uniting their instincts for showmanship and newfound political savvy, Snow and Lucy’s race against time to survive will ultimately reveal who is a songbird, and who is a snake.” Rachel Zegler, who recently shot to fame as Maria Vasquez in West Side Story, for which she won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress, will play Lucy.

Entertainment broadway Flawed but still glorious, ‘Follies’ revival opens in San Francisco
Welcome to Curtain Call, our mostly queer take on the latest openings on Broadway and beyond.With a multigenerational cast of 21, some particularly labyrinthine Sondheim lyrics, and one of the more unorthodox narrative structures in Broadway musical history, it’s taken Follies over a half-century to hit the boards in San Francisco. The Bay Area’s first-ever professional production of the 1971 backstage psychodrama about a late middle-age reunion of Ziegfield-style showgirls decades after their days in the kickline marks a major achievement for The San Francisco Playhouse and its artistic director, Bill English, who also helmed the show.There are plenty of goosebumps in store for audiences, not least of which are those raised by the grand ambition and determination required to mount this near-mythical colossus in the midst of a pandemic: The production not only had to recast multiple roles as its run was repeatedly rescheduled from a planned 2020 debut, but even this week’s official opening came after two postponements due to COVID in the company.Related: In Broadway’s ‘The Kite Runner,’ redemption drifts in the windThe anginal heart of Follies is the relationship of two struggling married couples — former chorines Sally (Natascia Diaz) and Phyllis (Maureen McVerry) and their husbands, Buddy (Anthony Rollins-Mullens) and Ben (Chris Vettel) — who effectively provide a musical theater counterpart to the quarrelsome quartet of Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? All four characters are brilliantly played with palpable neuroses, each unpredictably swinging between comic and creepy extremes.
