April 2026 - Theatre District, NYC:

A splashy new production is making waves on Broadway. The parody musical "Titanique" officially opened, bringing big laughs, powerhouse vocals, and a uniquely campy twist to one of cinema’s most iconic love stories.

Opening night of Titanique drew a full house, with theatergoers eager to see how the show reimagines the blockbuster film Titanic—through the music of global superstar Celine Dion.

But this isn’t your typical retelling. In Titanique, Dion herself takes center stage as the narrator, guiding audiences through a wildly exaggerated—and often hilarious—version of Jack and Rose’s doomed voyage.

Mike Leventhal was on the blue carpet for opening night and caught with the creator, writer and visionary Marla Mindelle to find out how she pulled this all off.

Packed with hits like “My Heart Will Go On” and “It’s All Coming Back to Me Now,” the show leans into comedy, improvisation, and over-the-top performances. Fans say it’s equal parts tribute and spoof.

The production has already built a cult following during its earlier runs off-Broadway, and tonight marks its biggest stage yet.

Producers say the goal is simple: give audiences a night of pure entertainment—no life rafts required. It's a musical that turns tragedy into comedy.

Titanique is now officially open on Broadway. Tickets are on sale now. You might find yourself going back to see it a few times…

Spirited Titanique Opening Night On Broadway

April 2026 - Theater District, NYC:

It was opening night at the Broadhurst Theater on a chilly Sporing night but the energy overtook the weather - Cats has always been stuffed with history. Upon its London premiere in 1981, Gillian Lynne's original choreography made Cats a groundbreaking dance musical, and the original NYC production became the fifth-longest-running Broadway show of all time.

Now, after more than four decades, the reimagined revival Cats: The Jellicle Ball brings a new look, new energy and dance moves that even impress Andrew Lloyd Webber.

Cats: The Jellicle Ball brilliantly expands and recontextualizes the show's history, particularly through the choreography by Arturo Lyons and Omari Wiles. Directed by Zhailon Levingston and Bill Rauch, this production is set in the world of vogue balls, which originated among LGBTQ+ people of color as safe spaces for competition, community, and self-expression through dance and fashion.

NYC VIBE was on the yellow carpet to talk with the cast, directors and stars and celebrities on hand to enjoy this new interpretation.

The original Cats set its action at a “Jellicle Ball,” in which one cat is chosen to ascend to a new life. Cats: The Jellicle Ball explicitly frames this event as a community gathering and shows how dance is a form of both self-expression and survival. The cats in this revival aren't literal cats, but a small society of people there to both compete for a fresh start and protect each other's lives as they are.

Kevin James on Solo Mio: “The Best Film I’ve Ever Made” | NYC Premiere | NYC VIBE

Solo Mio premiered right here in New York City, and NYC VIBE caught up with Kevin James on the red carpet to talk about why this project feels different, and why he believes audiences will connect with it.

James stars as Matt — a fourth-grade art teacher whose dream of a picture-perfect Italian wedding comes to a sudden halt when he’s left at the altar in Rome.

Heartbroken and stranded in what’s supposed to be the happiest city in the world, Matt makes an unexpected decision — he goes on his honeymoon alone.

What begins as a wedding disaster slowly turns into an adventure he never planned for.

Kevin James didn’t just star in "Solo Mio" — he also co-wrote and produced the film, bringing a more grounded, reflective tone than audiences may expect.

While the movie has humor, it leans into something deeper — allowing moments of stillness, vulnerability, and personal growth to take center stage.

Over the years, James has balanced stand-up, television, and film — starring in hits like "Paul Blart: Mall Cop", "Here Comes the Boom", and "Grown Ups", while also delivering acclaimed comedy specials for Netflix, Prime Video, and Comedy Central.

But with "Solo Mio", Kevin James steps into a more personal kind of storytelling — one that reflects growth, change, and the idea that life rarely goes according to plan.

And sometimes, that’s where the real story begins.

January 2026 - Hell’s Kitchen, NYC:

Magic Mike LIVE is now developing an all new production that will premiere this October.

Created and directed by Channing Tatum, Magic Mike Live is designed to merge hospitality, nightlife along with live entertainment - all carefully mixed together to create a special experience.

Channing and the development team have been hard at work on this production with the aim to deliver a show with the spirit of confidence, celebration of the body, and female empowerment - bringing together a global roster of the finest dancers and athletes for an atmosphere built for an unforgettable evening that will create a buzz that has not been seen in Times Square in a long time.

At the site of the old Copacabana, NYC VIBE’s Mike Leventhal was invited with the media to hear from Channing and the creative team - with the revelation that the interior has been gutted - with a new renovated, multi-function and custom-built venue now under construction.

This all started with the film Magic Mike released in 2012 where Channing Tatum actually financially backed the film! Did you know that before Channing Tatum was an actor he was actually a male stripper in Tampa for 10 months?

Magic Mike Live wants to be NYC's "Ultimate Girls' Night out," with a 90-minute show that takes it cues from the successful movie franchise featuring dance routines, acrobatics, and a waterfall scene that Channing says he is planning to be on stage on an unannounced night - which he will decide when the spirit moves him.

NYC VIBE will be back during the summer months to watch rehearsals and talk with the cast as the production is finalized.

Hilaria Baldwin (41) and husband Alec (67) are now in marriage therapy, Hilaria revealed on a recent podcast, citing their 26-year age gap as the core challenge. The mother of seven also admitted she feels she lost her identity after marrying the Hollywood star. This news follows a turbulent period which included Hilaria's elimination from Dancing With the Stars and controversy over Alec missing a deposition for the Rust shooting to attend the taping. Though they appeared united while promoting her new book this summer, Hilaria concluded that she currently has "a lot on her plate."

October 2025 - The Theater District, NYC:

As the Broadway community is at the center of a divided nation - federal funds being eliminated and cut in many cases and costs rising each year to produce first rate productions - the Drama League made it quite clear at its annual benefit gala in the theater district the message to the aspiring next generation of stage performers is to work hard, stay focused and stay on the path to follow your dreams - as the theater needs you now more than ever.

The benefit presented a spirit of uplifting and amplifying the New York theater community - Broadway stars, alumni artists, directors and producers all gathering together.

NYC VIBE caught up with the talented and motivated theatrical producer Lia Vollack who was being honored by her peers on this night.

Lia graduated high school at the age of 15 and then started her rich career first as a music recording engineer leading to her time as head of Worldwide Music of Theatrical for Sony Pictures Entertainment in California.

The Drama League is the preeminent creative development home for directors, offering access and opportunity to them, their collaborators, and the audiences they inspire across the world.

Global fashion icon and philanthropist Diane von Furstenberg has just endorsed the Oscar®-qualifying short documentary Darkness to Light: When Technology Heals Generations when she hosted an intimate private screening and discussion in New York in celebration of visionary filmmaker and technologist Victoria Bousis and Executive Producer Elodie Yung.

Written, directed, and produced by Victoria Bousis, a Greek-American filmmaker and AI expert and executive produced by Elodie Yung, the film details Bousis’s journey to Cambodia earlier this year, marking the 50th anniversary of the Cambodian genocide. Through the power of virtual reality, Bousis uses immersive storytelling to educate young Cambodians about their country’s history - and to explore how technology can bridge generations of trauma and healing that catalyzed global policy change to reunify families.

NYC VIBE was invited by Victoria to the screening and to spend time discussing Darkness to Light which has officially qualified for the 2025 Academy Awards® in the Documentary Short category and continues to receive widespread critical acclaim.

Bousis, a recipient of a Humanitarian Award from the United Nations Association and a Commendation from the City of Los Angeles, is also in the running for the 2025 BAFTA Games Awards for her interactive PC game and and VR game Stay Alive My Son: A True Story About A Father’s Search for His Son - a true narrative rooted in the refugee experience and based on the acclaimed book by Pin Yathay.

Diane von Furstenberg Hosts Private Screening of Oscar®-Qualifying Documentary Darkness To Light

October 2025 - Lincoln Center, NY:

Ragtime is back on Broadway—a towering musical event that makes the story of America feel both intimate and epic.

Set in the vibrant, turbulent dawn of the 20th century, this rich tapestry weaves together fictional narratives with the essential currents of history, blurring the line between personal struggle and national identity.

In the bustling melting pot of New York, a Black pianist, a Jewish immigrant, and a wealthy white mother find their lives dramatically intertwined. Their fictional struggles explode against a backdrop of real history, where they cross paths with icons like Harry Houdini, Emma Goldman, Booker T. Washington, and Henry Ford.

This landmark production is based on E. L. Doctorow's 1975 novel, featuring the four-time Tony Award-winning playwright, the late Terrence McNally and a truly brilliant, soaring score by Stephen Flaherty and Lynn Ahrens.

NYC Vibe's Mike Leventhal caught up with Tony-nominated director Lear deBessonet, who spoke of a special, personal mission driving this high energy and emotional production.

On opening night, the cast concurred: the script's message is more vital now than ever. It is a profound responsibility to carry forward a story that ultimately leaves the audience with one powerful, resonant word: HOPE.

Don Lemon Appears on Stage in NYC - Defends Free Speech

The big question was answered at the highly anticipated tenth annual Blue Jacket Fashion Show which took place in New York City - would podcaster Don Lemon attend, as he usually has, and what would he say about his recent arrest.

The 59 year old former journalist was released on his own recognizance without bail on January 30th following his arrest in Los Angeles regarding a January 18th protest at a Minnesota church. Lemon was indicted on federal charges of conspiracy and interfering with religious freedom, which he has vowed to fight the charges, declaring, “I will not be silenced”.

The Blue Jacket Fashion Show was founded by fashion designer Frederick Anderson to benefit ZERO Prostate Cancer, with the evening blending the realms of fashion, entertainment, sports, healthcare, and media to address the critical issue of prostate cancer openly.

As part of this annual event, free screenings will be held in various New York City locations.

Valentino Garavani, the legendary Italian fashion designer, has passed away at the age of 93.

His funeral was held Friday, January 23, at the Basilica di Santa Maria degli Angeli e dei Martiri in Roma.

Born in Milan in 1932, he became known by one name — Valentino — after founding Maison Valentino in Rome in 1960 with the backing of his father. The house quickly rose to international prominence, dressing Hollywood legends and European royalty, from Elizabeth Taylor and Sophia Loren to Julia Roberts, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Zendaya.

In 2012, Bader Media was honored to produce a tribute celebrating Valentino’s artistic contributions to the New York City Ballet, where his influence extended beyond fashion into elaborate costume design for the company’s Fall Gala.

Valentino was not just a designer — he was a founder who built a house strong enough to outlive him, and a name that continues to define luxury across generations.
