A Doll’s House, the upcoming Broadway revival starring Jessica Chastain, will begin its 16-week limited engagement with previews at the Hudson Theatre on Monday, February 13, 2023 ahead of a Thursday, March 9 opening night.

Back to the old ways. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced that the 2023 Oscars broadcast will once again include all 23 award categories.
Country music is brimming with stories of love and loss, whether in the storytelling lyrics or the famous figures who went on to become legends. George Jones and Tammy Wynette’s romance first captured hearts (and wallets) in the 1960s, and the decades-long collaboration is an emotional roller coaster ripe for the biopic treatment.
