The latest Ausiello TV doesn’t have much in the way of spoilers for season six, but it does have a really exciting piece of news: Chandra Wilson will be stepping behind the camera to direct an episode of Grey’s next season.

Which episode? No idea yet, and it doesn’t sound like all the details have been finalized.

All the same, this is pretty exciting. She’ll be the first of the series’ regulars to put on the director’s hat. So let’s hope it all goes wonderfully (and why wouldn’t it?) and that she gets to direct more in the future.

It’s unclear whether she’ll be both directing and acting in the episode, but I imagine we’ll probably see either a little less of her that episode or the regular amount. An episode without Bailey wouldn’t be right.

What do you think of Chandra directing?

I reported not that long ago that Chandra Wilson would be returning to the Broadway stage to take on the role of Matron Mama Morton in the hit musical Chicago. Well, the time has come! And fellow co-stars Sara Ramirez, James Pickens Jr. and T.R. Knight were in the audience on Monday to cheer her on. T.R. Knight brought boyfriend Mark Cornelsen along to the performance.

Speaking of the performance, it sounds like she did an outstanding job, though the actress herself seems mostly relieved that she got through it without messing up! “My 10-year-old daughter [Joy] said, ‘Mom just don’t mess up,’ ” said the three-time Emmy nominee. “That was the advice she gave me and so that’s what I took with me on stage and it seemed to have worked.”

And what did her Grey’s co-stars think?

“She was absolutely amazing,” Pickens told PEOPLE. “She was perfect and should be very proud of her performance. I had a great time watching her.”

I’m sure she’s going to be awesome during the entire run. For those wondering, you can catch Chandra Wilson in Chicago for a four-week stretch only. Her last performance will be Sunday, July 5. So if you haven’t gotten tickets yet, run run run!

I’ve just received most excellent news in my inbox. Chandra Wilson is headed back to Broadway!

This summer the Grey’s Anatomy star is going to be starring in CHICAGO as Matron Mama Morton. So if you missed her performance in Avenue Q or On the Town here’s your big chance to make up for it.

She’ll be on the Broadway stage from June 8-July 5 so run, don’t walk, to that ticket counter. The performance will take place at the Ambassador Theatre (219 W. 49th St.).

As a Broadway geek this made me really giddy, and I’m currently trying to figure out if there’s any way I can make it.

Any of you out there think you’ll be going? I might have to live vicariously through you.

Chandra Wilson dropped by the Ellen DeGeneres Show last week for a quick interview. She reveals that unless she’s got scrubs on and is in front of the camera she can’t “pull out” Bailey. And her kids won’t let Bailey in the house. Haha!

Wilson also tells Ellen all about the soaps she loves to watch and about the TiVo Ellen gave her a year ago that’s still sitting in the box.

She’s so cute and loveable.
