In the days after Eric Adams was elected mayor of New York, several of his supporters approached him with some uncomfortable advice.They urged him not to hire his closest ally, Ingrid P.

As the marble-clad, cube-like Perelman Performing Arts Center has taken shape at the World Trade Center site, questions have swirled about what will actually happen inside.Some answers came on Wednesday, when the center announced a first year of programming that will feature original work, including the premiere of an autobiographical play written by and starring the actor Laurence Fishburne called Like They Do in the Movies, as well as partnerships, including with the Tribeca Festival.

Kimberly Akimbo, a small-scale, big-hearted show about a teenage girl coping with a life-shortening genetic condition and a comically dysfunctional family, won the coveted Tony Award for best musical Sunday night.The award came at the close of an unusual Tony Awards ceremony that almost didn't happen because of the ongoing screenwriters' strike.

Massimiliano Allegri is not a divisive figure.Rather, the beleaguered Juventus manager has, over the course of the last two campaigns, slowly but surely galvanized support to the point of an overwhelming majority - support, of course, for his immediate and unsanctimonious removal.At this juncture, Mad Max makes people mad, and despite the fact that his fans number somewhere in the single digits globally among Juventini, the boss has stuck around for two consecutive campaigns and might well be around for another.

The wingback position is a very difficult one to play and master.This is because in a formation with three central defenders, the wingback often performs multiple roles simultaneously.He cannot solely be a defensive player because then he would be a fullback and the midfielders would have no/limited passing options to the wings.

The U.S. Open winner Gary Woodland had lately sensed something different in professional golf.Players were empowered and emboldened.Executives were listening.The PGA Tour was changing.With the circuit's dominance challenged by LIV Golf, an upstart built with billions of dollars from Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth fund, the tour felt closer to a cooperative than a dispassionate titan of professional sports.

The Australia Letter is a weekly newsletter from our Australia bureau.Sign up to get it by email.My media diet is admittedly pretty U.S.-centric.But as much as I love dissecting the ending of Succession or watching one juror participate in an off-the-walls trial while unaware that everyone around him is an actor, there's something unique about watching an Australian show or movie and getting a little jolt of recognition each time I see a recognizable location or hear a familiar slang word.
