Before she was hit-maker Carole King — she was Carole Klein, a spunky, young songwriter from Brooklyn with a unique voice. From the chart-topping hits she wrote for the biggest acts in music to her own life-changing, trailblazing success with Tapestry, Beautiful: The Carole King Musical takes you back to where it all began — and takes you on the ride of a lifetime.

 

Beautiful is the inspiring tale about a girl who became King with a stirring book by the late Oscar and Tony-nominated Douglas McGrath and the music and lyrics of icons Carole King, Gerry Goffin, Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil. Featuring such unforgettable classics as "You've Got a Friend", "One Fine Day", "So Far Away", "Take Good Care of My Baby", "Up on the Roof", "You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling", "Will You Love Me Tomorrow", and "Natural Woman", this Tony® and Grammy® Award-winning musical phenomenon is filled with the songs you remember and a story you'll never forget.

This is the love story of Ethel and Norman Thayer, who are returning to their summer home on Golden Pond for the forty-eighth year. He is a retired professor, nearing eighty, with heart palpitations and a failing memory—but still as tart-tongued, observant, and eager for life as ever. Ethel, ten years younger, and the perfect foil for Norman, delights in all the small things that have enriched and continue to enrich their long life together. They are visited by their divorced, middle-aged daughter and her dentist fiancé, who then go off to Europe, leaving his teenage son behind for the summer. The boy quickly becomes the “grandchild” the elderly couple have longed for, and as Norman revels in taking his ward fishing and thrusting good books at him, he also learns some lessons about modern teenage awareness—and slang—in return. In the end, as the summer wanes, so does their brief idyll, and in the final, deeply moving moments of the play, Norman and Ethel are brought even closer together by the incidence of a mild heart attack. Time, they know, is now against them, but the years have been good and, perhaps, another summer on Golden Pond still awaits.

Based on one of Hans Christian Andersen's most beloved stories and the classic animated film, Disney's The Little Mermaid is a hauntingly beautiful love story for the ages. With music by eight-time Academy Award winner, Alan Menken, lyrics by Howard Ashman and Glenn Slater and a compelling book by Doug Wright, this fishy fable will capture your heart with its irresistible songs, including "Under the Sea," "Kiss the Girl" and "Part of Your World."

 

Ariel, King Triton's youngest daughter, wishes to pursue the human Prince Eric in the world above, bargaining with the evil sea witch, Ursula, to trade her tail for legs. But the bargain is not what it seems, and Ariel needs the help of her colorful friends, Flounder the fish, Scuttle the seagull and Sebastian the crab to restore order under the sea.

Join us for this celebrated holiday tradition! It is Christmas Eve, when the crotchety and cruel Ebenezer Scrooge is visited by the ghost of his old business partner, Jacob Marley. Marley warns Scrooge of the spirits to follow and to take heed of what is to come. The Ghost of Christmas Past and Present show Scrooge the carefree child he once was, and how money and life have hardened his soul. Once he is visited by the Ghost of Christmas Future, Scrooge learns the fate that awaits him, should he not change his ways and let the joy of Christmas into his heart.

Ghislaine [[ GHEE-lane ]] Maxwell says there is no Jeffrey Epstein client list, according to her recent interview with the Justice Department. She also says she never saw President Trump get a massage from Epstein's young female victims or do anything inappropriate. Trump has acknowledged he was friends with the late sex-offender Epstein, but says he hadn't spoken to him in over 15 years since a "falling out." Maxwell is serving a 20-year federal prison sentence in Texas for sex trafficking.        A tour bus crash in western New York Friday has killed five people. Police say the bus overturned on the eastbound side of the New York State Thruway in the town of Pembroke after the driver lost control. Police say the driver was not impaired and is cooperating with the investigation.        Vice President JD Vance says the FBI didn't raid the home and office of former Trump national security adviser John Bolton because of Bolton's criticism of the President. In an interview with NBC's "Meet the Press," Vance said while classified records are part of the investigation, there's "a broad concern" about Bolton. The former national security adviser became a strong critic of President Trump after he left the administration in 2019, and had previously been accused of leaking classified material but an investigation didn't go anywhere.        Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell is signaling that interest rate cuts could be on the way. He spoke at the Federal Reserve's conference in Jackson Hole, Wyoming on Friday, saying "The balance of risks appears to be shifting." The Fed will meet next month to decide whether or not to restart rate cuts. President Trump has repeatedly criticized Powell for not cutting rates.        A global hunger monitor says there's famine in the northern Gaza Strip, and it will soon spread to the rest of the region by the end of next month. The Integrated Food Security Phase Classification organization announced today that after nearly two years of war with Israel, more than half-a-million Palestinians in the northern Strip are facing starvation and malnutrition. Israel claims there is no famine in Gaza and that deaths blamed on malnutrition are actually from other medical conditions.        The Kennedy Center in Washington, DC will host the 2026 World Cup draw. President Trump made the announcement from the Oval Office today, calling the World Cup the biggest event in sports. The tournament's draw sets the group stage of competition for the 48 countries set to participate. The draw will take place December 5th, about six months before the first matches kick off.
