    The Queen of the Nile is having a major moment. Ask Charles Busch, author and star of the play, "Cleopatra," now in a sold-out run at Theater for the New City though April 17.

Cleopatra is celebrated in a lavish number in Cirque du Soleil's Broadway production, "Paramour," launching April 16 at the Lyric. The Egyptian empress was name-checked on "Empire" in a story thread involving a new Antony and Cleopatra clothing line. Need more? Just asp! A new screenwriter has reportedly been hired for the Angelina Jolie film based on Stacy Schiff's vivid bio "Cleopatra: A Life." And, finally, the Lumineers' new album is called, what else, "Cleopatra." Following the interview with Busch, listen in to hear the  title song.   Follow Joe here: @TheJoeDShow   Produced by: Joe Dziemianowicz Edited by: Frank Posillico   Get more from the Daily News on Facebook, YouTube and Tumblr

    David Tennant, Frank DiLella, Andy Karl and Orfeh : The Joe D Show Episode 41

    Is there a “Doctor” in the house? David Tennant, of “Doctor Who” fame, stars in the Royal Shakespeare Company’s “Richard II,” now at Brooklyn Academy of Music. The royal drama is part of the RSC four-play “King and Country” cycle that includes “Henry IV, Parts I and II” and “Henry V.” The series runs through May 1. It arrives fresh from London, where Tennant’s stirring performance and long locks turned heads. “Why should’t Richard have long hair? He believes he is divinely ordained to be king,” Tennant says. “He doesn’t conform. He is neither man nor woman — something else, something greater, divine.” Listen in for more from Tennant about “Richard II” and his “Jessica Jones” supervillain Kilgrave. Also on the podcast: Show Biz After Hours, a theater talk show taped live at Birdland. Host Frank DiLella and his April 3 guests Andy Karl and Orfeh talk about show biz.   Follow Joe here: @TheJoeDShow   Produced by: Joe Dziemianowicz Edited by: Frank Posillico   Get more from the Daily News on Facebook, YouTube and Tumblr

    Adrienne Warren : The Joe D Show Episode 39

    Jazz Age star Florence Mills has been called “the Beyonce of that time.” Gertrude Saunders, her peer, was Bessie Smith’s husband’s mistress, which led to a public brawl. Actress Adrienne Warren plays both stars in “Shuffle Along, Or, the Making of the Musical Sensation of 1921 and All That Followed,” which begins previews on Tuesday at the Music Box. The show re-creates that pioneering all-black Jazz Age revue. It also goes backstage to imagine what went on behind the scenes among the creators and cast. Warren, previously on Broadway in “Bring It On,” talks about creating Saunders and Mills, a process that begins, she says, “with posture.” And listen in to hear Saunders warble the period tune, “I’m Craving for That Kind of Love.” Follow Joe here: @TheJoeDShow   Produced by: Joe Dziemianowicz Edited by: Frank Posillico   Follow Joe on Twitter and get more from the Daily News on Facebook, YouTube and Tumblr
