Autumn is here and the holidays are approaching. As the temperature begins to drop, warm up with a trip to a Broadway show! Today, we're taking a closer look at Broadway's long-running classics. What better way to escape the hustle and bustle than with a trip to experience one of the most beloved musicals on the Great White Way. 

Funny lady Ana Gasteyer ('Saturday Night Live,' 'The Goldbergs,' 'Wine Country') is sweetening up the holidays with the release of her new holiday album, Sugar & Booze. The collection of festive seasonal songs, classic and original, offer a swinging nod to the vintage holidays of yore with a modern touch and plenty of style. Gasteyer brings her Sugar & Booze tour to The Ridgefield Playhouse on Wednesday, December 18 at 8pm with a night of hilarious holiday cabaret that harkens back to the big-band jazz era with a modern and often comedic touch.

People were visibly touched by the situations and reduced to tears at several points. And yet I felt oddly removed from the experience, and kept wondering why.
