NYC life: Rock n’ Roll, Theatre, Discounts, Concerts, and More
Okay Rocker Chicks. Head to the MET for a not to be missed exhibit on the instruments of rock n’ roll. On the mellow side, get discounted tickets to see the one and only Tony Bennett at Radio City.

April 4 – April 21. MIRACLE IN RWANDA
Our producer friend Pat Addis says do not miss MIRACLE IN RWANDA, the uplifting tale depicting the real-life events in Rwanda when Immaculée Ilibagiza survived — along with 7 others—three months in a 3×4 foot bathroom during the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi. Immaculée has been referred to as “our generation’s Anne Frank,” yet one who thankfully survived. Get the special discount offer.
