We all have people on our lists who are impossible to shop for. People who already have everything. As I scroll through endless list proclaiming to have the perfect gift for even the hardest to shop for people on my list, I’m still at a loss. As I was talking to my coworkers about this, I realized, why not give tickets to some of the fabulous shows coming up here at The Music Hall.
I also figured, if I’m having trouble, some of you reading this, might also be in the same boat, so I thought I’d pull together a list of shows that would make great gifts.

Maybe it’s the general tenor of the times, but I find myself surprisingly grumpy at the sound of Christmas music, especially those in heavy rotation like All I Want for Christmas (Is You) and Paul McCartney’s Wonderful Christmastime (which can induce Scrooge-like symptoms in the most seasonally well-adjusted among us).
Fortunately, I have the perfect antidote to Holiday Overload Syndrome in the form of a film called 78/52: Hitchcock’s Shower Scene. I’m a little worried that the overly descriptive title is a spoiler all by itself, but that can’t be helped.Read More
