Lil Nas X impressed viewers with a quick on-the-carpet outfit change, from a floral-print suit into a ball gown by the designer Andrea Grossi that included a bolero jacket, suspenders and a full skirt. After the step-and-repeat, things really got started. DaBaby’s locker room-themed performance had chaotic-good energy and a dancer moving around the stage […]
Tarantino isn’t trying to play here what another novelist/screenwriter, Terry Southern, liked to call the Quality Lit Game. He’s here to tell a story, in take-it-or-leave-it Elmore Leonard fashion, and to make room along the way to talk about some of the things he cares about — old movies, male camaraderie, revenge and redemption, music […]
Spain was cruising against Croatia, until suddenly it wasn’t. It would be too definitive to declare that Monday, June 28, 2021 was the greatest day of tournament soccer in history. Its group phase, always something of a slow burn, had been illuminated by Italy’s adventure and Denmark’s remarkable courage, by Spanish neurosis and Dutch energy. […]
The show was widely acclaimed, winning the Olivier Award for best new play when it opened in London, and the Tony Award for best new play when it opened in New York. The show will continue to run in two parts in London; Melbourne, Australia; and Hamburg, Germany, but will be a single part in […]
Three weeks ago, a vinyl bonanza from Taylor Swift blocked Olivia Rodrigo from enjoying a second run at No. Five weeks into its release, “Sour” has now notched two weeks at the top of the album chart, and two songs from it, “Drivers License” and “Good 4 U,” have topped the Hot 100 singles chart. […]
This was my primary takeaway from watching the latest installment, “F9,” in which the 75-year-old Mirren and 53-year-old Diesel share a car chase and display more crackling chemistry than any other duo in the movie. Sometimes you have to be the change you want to see in the world, which is why I set up […]
The British novelist Jackie Collins wrote thick, steamy, devourable books that, in the 1970s and 80s, enthralled millions while threatening to topple their bedside tables. “Lady Boss: The Jackie Collins Story,” Laura Fairrie’s fond and frisky documentary, sifts a vast trove of archive material to pin down this gifted storyteller. The dishiness is fun, but […]
Frederic Rzewski, a formidable composer and pianist who wrote and performed music that was at once stylistically eclectic and politically committed, died on Saturday at his summer home in Montiano, Italy. Mr. Rzewski’s anti-establishment thinking stood at the center of his music-making throughout his life. “It’s pointillistic and minimalistic and really quite varied.” At the […]
His music could be contemplative and atmospheric, darkly suspenseful or abstractly funky. He played vocalistic phrases that invoked the bluesy intimacy of Miles Davis along with the Indian classical music that Mr. Hassell studied with the raga singer Pandit Pran Nath. He delved into calm and aggression, reflection and propulsion, serenity and suspense. He also […]
The Australian band Hiatus Kaiyote emerged in 2013 with an amorphous sound that pulled in rock, funk and soul, and caught the ear of Questlove, Erykah Badu and Q-Tip. “Ultimately, I became obsessed with the concept of impermanence,” Saalfield, 32, said on a video call, speaking from an almost pitch-black room in her home in […]

In May she executed a vault so technically advanced that other gymnasts won’t even attempt it, and in June she coasted to the title at the United States Gymnastics Championships. Lee, 18, proved her fortitude at nationals in 2019, winning a gold medal on the uneven bars just days after her father sustained a spinal […]
Of course, “Springsteen on Broadway” is no traditional Broadway production — no mesmerizing choreographed musical numbers, no enchanted sets, no multi-page bios of cast members in the Playbill. “I am here tonight to provide proof of life,” Springsteen called out early on. For the “us” that packed inside the St. But the pandemic forced the […]
While the studio sold off some of its other properties including “Coming 2 America,” and the forthcoming “The Tomorrow War” to streamers itching to get their hands on additional content, it held on to “A Quiet Place 2,” the John Krasinski-directed horror sequel, until Memorial Day weekend last month and has accrued $135 million in […]
On Friday night, the Islanders were one win away from reaching hockey’s grandest stage for the first time since 1984, one goal from prolonging their season with a chance to win their first title since they claimed four consecutive N.H.L. Tampa Bay will play the Montreal Canadiens with a chance to repeat as the champion, […]
The seven-time Wimbledon champion had just been asked about the one thing she is looking forward to upon returning to Wimbledon for the first time since the coronavirus shut it down last year. “I love the grass,” Williams said this month at the French Open, though she also admitted that she hadn’t even practiced on […]

Their players, so impressed by the adjustments that their coach, Tyronn Lue, has been making to facilitate those comebacks, have started calling him Bill Belichick. With Kawhi Leonard reduced to spectator status, watching from a Staples Center suite as he nursed a worrisome right knee sprain, Los Angeles ground out a 106-92 victory over the […]
As the Puerto Rican singer mourns the departure of a lover, the producer Tainy blends rivulets of synths and delicate percussion, allowing them to bleed into a hiss of hot air. The 28-year-old artist has quietly emerged as a musical renegade, even as he’s maintained a commanding presence in the upper echelons of Latin pop. […]
— With every other row removed, reducing its capacity to 160 from 520, the auditorium at the Barrington Stage Company’s main theater here seems about as serious as a gaptoothed 8-year-old. “Chester Bailey,” the company’s first indoor production since the pandemic began, is as striking as a sucker punch, too effective to let you keep […]
