Well, sure! The theatre it is! Let the always on it NYT – seriously, bookmark them! – take you on a tour of this week’s highlights. From Dolly to Shakespeare and everything in between. Most are free, and many are events that you’ll want to put on your cal. But this is a must-read-early-so-you-don’t-miss-it kind of post. So don’t wait!
The crisis has been hard for all school kids, but it’s been especially tough for graduating seniors who have missed out on so many traditions. But there is some virtual pomp and circumstance to be had, so don’t let them miss their moment. Even if this hasn’t been in your plans, try not to miss it. It should be something to remember!
I’ve actually done this before… the great Grease sing-along. And you know what? Fun is the word. And it’s even better, because CBS is including follow-along lyrics, just in case you don’t know every word to every song. But you do, because it’s GREASE! Get the family in on this one:)
Maybe we’re all just jonesing for live music, or maybe musicians are just jonesing to play. But these turn-ons keep coming my way, so I’ll keep sending them yours. What can I say… it’s a musical week! But with all this great stuff playing right around happy hour time, maybe it’s time to start building some socially distanced cocktail hours around all the good vibes:)
Thanks to WWOZ in New Orleans, here’s a chance to get a good musical thrill from some of your favorite musicians playing live from down home, and then throw a little scratch in their virtual tips jars. It may be remote, but it’s a sho nuff real connection where everyone wins. Check out the line-up and go on a good new-fashioned link crawl today!
You read that right! The film of the original Broadway production – starring Lin Manuel Miranda himself – has been bumped WAAAAY up in the schedule and will now debut in time for the 4th of July! We’re still six weeks out on that, but good news can never come too early these days.
The pandemic has obviously been hard for many folks on many fronts. For graduating seniors, it’s brought its own set of disappointments. That’s why streams like this are so important. We’re putting this one out there early – the live event isn’t until June 6th – just so parents and their seniors can be aware and start to weave this into their plans. Spread the word!

I’m truly sorry I didn’t get this one up for you in real-time, but this great program of top-notch Colorado musicians plays on! (And so does your opportunity to donate.) The Lumineers, OneRepublic, Nathaniel Rateliff, Jewell and Isaac Slade and many, MANY more serenade the effort from home in a beautifully personal way. Go Colorado!
There’s more than you may think here, and the deals are ska-reemin’! It’s especially nice to pick up some ultra-hd flicks to fill that new 4K TV of yours!
Just passing on the deals that 9to5Mac is passing on. Sometimes, it is nice to own, and Apple is offering some amazing deals on series right now, including maybe the best TV show ever…. The Wire!
