Sting stopped by The Ellen DeGeneres Show to serenade the audience with a song from The Last Ship.
He also took the opportunity to share about his winemaking experience and offered her a sample from his vineyards. Let’s hope he brings a few bottles to Chicago with him!
Diana Martinez and guest critic Ed Moon give you the Short & Sweet on Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer: The Musical™. Martinez calls it “the perfect holiday show for the little ones in your life”, however she “can assure you that there were plenty of adults in the audience with big smiles watching this nostalgic holiday classic come to life on stage.”
