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.

Southern California is getting hit with more rain. The region has been getting drenched this week by a storm system that has caused some areas to be evacuated. The chance for some light rain is expected to continue through tonight and into the early hours of tomorrow morning before giving way to some sunshine. Some homes were buried in debris after heavy rainfall triggered mudslides in the mountain town of Wrightwood, about 80 miles northeast of Los Angeles.        Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky will meet with President Trump this weekend. The Ukrainian leader said the Florida meeting will discuss efforts to end the nearly four-year war with Russia. He told reporters the U.S. and Ukraine will look to "finalize as much as we can." Zelensky added that a 20-point peace plan is "90-percent ready."        President Trump says the U.S. launched "powerful and deadly" strikes on ISIS terrorists in Nigeria yesterday. He said the strikes were directed at terrorists in the northern part of the country who he has accused of killing Christians. U.S and Nigerian officials confirmed the two countries worked together on the strikes. The Pentagon released video of at least one missile being launched from a warship.        The 2026 numerals that will welcome in the new year in Times Square are being tested today. Just days before New Year's Eve, the giant 2026 numerals are being lit up. They're seven feet tall and are illuminated by 589 L-E-D lights. And for the first time, they offer an array of colors and patterns. Each light puck, as they're called, is programmable so it can match the designs on the New Year's Eve ball.        With Christmas over, the season of returns begin. The National Retail Federation estimates nearly 15-percent of all purchased holiday items will be returned this year. And that's costing consumers. Seventy-two percent of retailers will be hitting folks with charges for returns -- up from 66-percent last year.        The University of Michigan is hiring Kyle Whittingham to become its next football coach. ESPN reports Whittingham will sign a five-year deal to assume the position after stepping down from the same role at Utah earlier this month. This comes after Michigan fired Sherrone Moore following allegations of an inappropriate relationship with a staff member and subsequent criminal charges.
