Pencil This In

THEATER: This week is your last chance to see Roundabout’s acclaimed revival of George Bernard Shaw’s comedy Heartbreak House, which dips into the unlikely romantic combos that blossom on an estate on the English countryside. But amidst all the clever conversation and flirtation, Shaw hones in on the stunning complacency that pervaded the privileged classes at the dawn of World War I. Heartbreak House stars the brilliant Swoozie Kurtz, who the Times says “may just be the most seductive woman on a New York stage right now.” - John Del Signore

Tonight and Thursday night she'll be at Town Hall getting you in the mood for the holidays, Thursday's show is hosted by Fred Armisen.

Above is a clip containing samples of all of the songs on Mann's Christmas album (it sort of freaks us out).
