The guests for the October editions of Seth's Broadway Chatterbox are lining up.

Shoshana Bean, who portrays Shelley in the hit Broadway musical Hairspray, will chat with Rudetsky on Oct. 10; Len Cariou, who stars as Robert in the Tony-winning Proof at the Walter Kerr Theatre, will be Rudetsky's guest on Oct. 17; and former Titanic and Sweet Smell of Success actor Brian d'Arcy James is scheduled for Oct. 24.

The weekly live talkfest, which includes interviews and performances from Broadway stars, is held at 6 PM at the New York cabaret Don't Tell Mama. There is a $10 donation and a two-drink minimum. The donation goes directly to Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS, the nation's leading industry-based, not-for-profit AIDS fundraising and grant-making organization.

Shoshana Bean is currently making her Broadway debut in Hairspray. She starred in the national tour of Leader of the Pack and in the Off Broadway revival of Godspell; she can be heard on the cast recording of the latter. Bean also took part in Michael Jackson's 30th anniversary concert and is a member of the Broadway Inspirational Voices.
