With apologies to AlienJesus. (You're the one who doesn't care for Ann Miller, right?) I'm so overheated, I can't think straight. Anyway, this week's Notable Opening Nights post was going to be on Singin' in the Rain, which opened at the Gershwin in 1985. I'll fold it into next week's post, about the Marquis' opening.

What's On Tonight (Wednesday): What the Elle

Elle

2026, part deux! Here's what's on television for tonight, Wednesday, July 1!

Our Top Pick tonight is the premiere of Elle (Amazon Prime Video+, 3 a.m.). In this prequel to Legally Blonde, teenage Elle (Lexi Minetree) moves from LA to Seattle and has a rough time fitting in. This is the fourth title in the Legally franchise after two theatricals and the forgotten TV movie. Oh, and the musical.

Elsewhere, Enola Holmes is back on the case, Netflix seeks the Worst Neighbor Ever, the Brilliant face cancellation, Pleasure hits bottom, and X-Men are in action.
