Stars Pay ‘Rent’ This Month at the Hollywood Bowl

Neil Patrick Harris lights his candle as director of "Rent" at the Hollywood Bowl, igniting a cast including Vanessa Hudgens, Wayne Brady, and Nicole Scherzinger.

"Dancing with the Stars" champ Nicole will be singing and dancing under the stars at what she calls "a magical space." Costar Aaron Tveit added, "It's an iconic venue. We've talked about singing at Carnegie Hall or Radio City Music Hall or Lincoln Center in New York and the Hollywood Bowl is right there."

The Pussycat Doll told ET that she hopes the pro that led her to victory, Derek Hough, will come see her translate her ballroom skills to the stage. "There's a number called 'The Tango Maureen' and originally my character's not supposed to be in it because they're singing about me, but because of 'Dancing with the Stars' and my tango, they're like, 'We want you to tango in it.'"
