![]() For those of us who care about the New York Knicks and long for the days before the Dolans and Isaiah Thomas decimated a once-proud franchise, Dan Klores' documentary Winning Time: Reggie Miller vs. The New York Knicks on ESPN is a joy to behold. Relive all of the pain, the joy, the frustration, the exhilaration—and remember that yes NBA basketball was once a beautiful thing to behold in the land of the City Game. |

![]() Arthur Miller's A View From The Bridge is as potent and necessary today as the day it was written. A passionate, generous, heartbreaking tragedy that yearns to understand contradictions in the American psyche that may never be fully comprehended, 'View' is beautifully rendered by Gregory Mosher and performed impeccably by Jessica Hecht, Scarlett Johansson and our theatrical national treasure Liev Schreiber. Integrating masterful work by designers John Lee Beatty, Peter Kaczorowski and Jane Greenwood, this production is a must-see on Broadway before it closes April 4 - beg, borrow or steal yourself a ticket but make sure you don't miss A View From the Bridge. |

Andre Agassi's memoir OPEN, a collaboration between Agassi and J.R. Moehringer, is a book of startling depth, emotion, and honesty. As a sports book it is dramatic, exciting, and informative. As the story of a father and son, it is raw, gut-wrenching, and powerful. As a personal exploration, it is revealing, poetic, and triumphant. You will be thrilled when you read this book. You will laugh. You will cry. You will cheer. I kid you not: I hugged it when I was done. |

Bienvenido Gustavo! It is now official—Gustavo Dudamel has begun his reign at the helm of the Los Angeles Philharmonic. His performance of Mahler’s Symphony No.1 at last Thursday’s Inaugural Concert was poetry in motion—breathtaking, dazzling, passionate, sublime. Book your trip to Los Angeles now and see him conduct at Disney Hall—doing so should be added to everyone’s list of Things to Do Before You Die. |

Has there ever been a richer, more complex (dare I say more American?) Blanche than the one performed by Rachel Weisz in Rob Ashford's Donmar Warehouse production of A Streetcar Named Desire? And if that isn't enough, Ruth Wilson's Stella is bedazzling. See it before it closes in early October. |

![]() Robert Frank’s The Americans at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art is not only a dazzling retropsective of one of the country's seminal artists and a celebration of the 50th anniversary of the book that changed photography, it is also as well-curated a museum show as you are likely to see. Before he set out on his cross-country trek to create the book, Frank wrote that he wanted his work to reflect America as though it was being seen for the very first time—a half-century later the collection still retains the power of revelation. It just wrapped up in San Francisco and moves to the Metropolitan Museum in New York in September. |
