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.

Attorney General Pam Bondi says she will appeal after a judge tossed the criminal indictments against New York Attorney General Letitia James and former FBI Director James Comey. Both claimed the appointment of Lindsey Halligan as the US attorney for the Eastern District was unlawful. Comey was indicted for allegedly lying to Congress about the Trump-Russia investigation, while James was indicted for mortgage fraud.        Army Secretary Dan Driscoll will meet with Russian officials today in Abu Dhabi to discuss an end to the war with Ukraine. The meeting will focus on the framework of a peace plan negotiated over the weekend between the U.S. and the Ukrainians. The U.S.-led plan has been changed after Ukraine objected to parts that called for it to cede territory to Russia.        President Trump is giving the green light to designate certain chapters of the Muslim Brotherhood as foreign terrorist organizations. The order gives direction to Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent to figure out if any chapters should receive the designation. This move would allow for increased sanctions, as well as more power to disrupt financial support.        A pair of turkeys will be pardoned by President Trump today at the White House. The turkeys, named Gobble and Waddle, are staying at the Willard hotel in Washington, DC ahead of the ceremony. First Lady Melania Trump is also expected to take part in the annual tradition.        Today will be one of the busiest day on the roads for Thanksgiving travelers, according to Triple-A. Tomorrow will also see millions on the roads, as well as the Sunday after Thanksgiving. Some 73 million people are expected to drive to their holiday destination.        The oldest survivor of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre is dead. Viola Fletcher passed away Monday at the age of 111. Former President Barack Obama was among the many to pay tribute to Fletcher, posting on X that he and former First Lady Michelle Obama were sending their love to her family.
