MarcAurele knew he had to strike while the iron was red-hot, so he got to writing, and in just three short weeks he was bringing the show to life, complete with a number that explored the inherent musicality of that bike scene and another that featured a chorus lauding 'gay hockey players with big butts' as if they were singing a church hymn.
In that small 30-block zone last year, there were 486 reported crashes, injuring 76 cyclists, 108 pedestrians (one fatally) and 67 motorists, according to city stats. That's more than a crash every day, injuring more than 250 people.
"The expansion positions NYC Alliance for continued growth while strengthening its design, showroom and operational presence in the historic fashion corridor," Peter Braus said, according to the New York Post.
The curtain rises on a new chapter at the Todd Haimes Theatre as this transformative renovation supports greater accessibility to the arts for all, Hochul said.
We decided this could be an opportunity to design something specifically for those theatergoers, and maybe many others who may have been reluctant to attend on their own. This is not 'singles night.' If a meaningful connection happens, that's a bonus. But at the end of the day, it's really about being comfortable going solo to a show and enjoying it with people who have that same experience.
While Miranda was hailed as a genius for creating the show, the actual breakout star was Leslie Odom Jr, who played Hamilton's nemesis Aaron Burr. Hugely praised for his magnetic, devilish performance, he pipped Miranda to the best actor in a musical gong at the 2016 Tony Awards.
This year, we opted to sort our spring guide into categories, the better to match your mood. There are the shows everyone's talking about - big names like Duchamp and Raphael (seriously, how is this the first major survey of his in the city?), Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera. There are major surveys, like the New Museum's inaugural show in its expanded building, MoMA PS1's Greater New York triennial, and of course, the Whitney Biennial.
I landed Oct. 5, and we started work Oct. 6, so it was like jump straight in. And when it's your day off, it's like, 'OK, I just need to shop and clean and relax.' Nearly six months in, the actor is slowly familiarizing himself with New York neighborhood by neighborhood, including the West Village, which he says he recently explored with his girlfriend.
Bea is a neighborhood favorite. A mere 12-14 minute walk west from Times Square gives you enough distance to breathe normally again. Inside, it's low-lit and lively, with servers and bartenders who manage the pre-theater rush like they've seen it all a million times. The bar program is what sets Bea apart from others of its ilk with a short but sweet cocktail menu offering novelty and fun.
As Broadway heads into the busy spring theater season, a wave of new productions and high-profile revivals is arriving across Midtown. This year's lineup leans heavily on recognizable titles including revivals of classics and stage adaptations of familiar screen properties as well as star casting.
Broadway Bound Kids, the nonprofit that provides performing arts education to New York City students K-12, will be hosting their fourth annual benefit concert, Empower State of Mind, on Feb. 2 at City Winery in Manhattan at 7:30 pm. The evening will include show-stopping performances by theater legends who have starred on the Broadway stage.

So another word about tickets. They did finally announce single-game tickets were going on sale, but only for games though June. It's not enough to keep season plans limited to those requiring fans to buy more tickets than they can use, feeding the secondary markets which the Mets also get a cut of, but "make-your-own-plan" fans like me who've reliably occupied seats for decades,
"The producers of Six have chosen to temporarily limit access to the Broadway production's X account following a number of comments made in response to recent Broadway casting news, which we felt crossed the line into bullying," reads a statement provided to Playbill.
Comedy shows on Broadway are one of the best past times for NYC locals and tourists alike. Ironically, they're some of the most over-looked attractions when it comes to searching for tickets for a Broadway show when they're next to competitors like Hamilton, Sweeney Todd, and Some Like It Hot. If you want to know what Broadway has to offer right now, check out my list of the best current Broadway shows in NYC.
Beginning April 21, Jeremy Jordan will step into the role of Bobby Darin in Just in Time, the immersive nightclub musical that quietly became one of last season's surprise hits at Circle in the Square Theatre. Jordan succeeds Jonathan Groff, who plays Darin through March 29, in a production that has turned Circle in the Square into a swinging supper clubcomplete with floor seating, banquettes, and a live band that puts audiences inches from the action.

Set in a school in a small town in rural Georgia, John Proctor... centres on five female classmates who are not only studying The Crucible, but get caught up in Crucible-like events as debate whether or the play's nominal hero John Proctor is indeed the villain, as opposed to Abigail Williams, the young woman he has an affair with and then discards.
This isn't the circus you remember from childhood, though. After shuttering its tents in 2017 amid declining ticket sales and growing concerns about animal welfare, Ringling spent years rethinking what a modern circus could look like. When it returned three years ago, it did so with a fully animal-free format, leaning instead into global performance, music and arena-scale production. The current tour, overseen by Feld Entertainment, continues that approach, turning the circus into a live, high-energy cultural mashup rather than mere nostalgia.
