Love this block!

The Block That Dreamed Big — and Lit Up Hell’s Kitchen
The W55th Street block between 8/9th Avenue is a Hell’s Kitchen gem — in winter, the trees become a winter wonderland of Christmas lights.

I saw CHESS on Broadway. Wow.

I’s not just about game-board strategy and Cold War ego.

#CHESS is about mental illness, fragile brilliance, and Broadway’s smartest love triangle.

Did you know every Broadway stage has a single light that never goes out?

It’s called a ghost lamp.

From its mysterious origins to its modern meaning, discover why this bulb still burns bright long after the curtain falls.

Totally loved "Murdoch: The Final Interview."

Such an important, educational, and entertaining show that reveals how America became a Petri dish for Murdoch’s destructive vision of media and the world.

A Broadway for Bros quote, from our review, made this video.

ROUGH NIGHT OUT

I escaped the claws of a lion

To be abandoned in the rain,

But I was gloriously free

To start my life again.

When I was proud.

I had majestic horns

And my enemies bowed.

Love was mine
