We check out the new musicals including "American Utopia" and speak with frontman, David Byrne. Director Diane Paulus tells us about working with Alanis Morissette on the much anticipated, "Jagged Little Pill," and we hear from Adrienne Warren who is getting rave reviews in "Tina, The Tina Turner Musical." We also talked to Katharine McPhee, who is stepping back into the title role as "Waitress" closes up shop.
For festive family fun, there's not only "A Christmas Carol," but also "Slava's Snow Show," the magic of "The Illusionists" and "Derren Brown: Secret."
