Break out your Broadway best -- several new shows are set to open in Search. But before we offer "bravo," let's take a backstage look at their Buzz.

Julia Roberts is getting ready to unleash Three Days of Rain. Searches on the life-loving Oscar winner are down 8% this month, but searches on her show, which previews next week, are starting to accumulate. Julia Roberts on stage? How Nicole Kidman of her.

Switching gears from toothy actresses to shows with bite, Lestat is also sucking up its share of searches. Based on the Anne Rice books and with music by Elton John and Bernie Taupin, Lestat hopes for a bloody good opening when it premieres this week. Goths get in for half price on Tuesdays.

If you think Anne Rice and Broadway is a strange combination, wait until you get a load of The Wedding Singer. The show mixes the Adam Sandler comedy with singing and dancing. Here's a frightening thought -- if it works, more of Sandler's greatest hits might make it to Broadway. Rodgers and Hammerstein, we know you're dead, but your country needs you.
