Bill Maher may be liberalism’s last hope
For more than a year, Bill Maher was one of the few liberal voices who seemed really concerned that Trump could actually win the presidency. He warned us all…and the worst happened. His current season of Real Time returns to HBO Friday after a two-month absence, but we’re really looking forward to seeing him live at the Music Hall for his stand-up show. We need to listen to him now more than ever.

Kristin Chenoweth in concert
She’s a Tony Award-winner, and originated the role of Galinda in Wicked. She’s an Emmy Award-winner for the charming comedy Pushing Daises. She has one of the strongest coloratura voices in music. But we really love Kristin Chenoweth for being one of the most vocal gay allies in America while still proud of her faith. She really puts her mouth where her heart is. She’ll perform a live concert of some of her favorite songs.
