Summer 2019 - Nellie Beavers was 20th in line sitting on the sidewalk outside the Walter Kerr Theatre at five AM. She'd been there since before dawn, waiting for rush tickets to Hadestown. If it won the Tony, as she suspected it would, she'd never be able to afford a ticket. She had Empanada Mama's delivered to her on the sidewalk, and she was catching up on MasterChef Junior when it hit her, 'I'm an adult with a credit card! Why am I sitting on the ground?'

The stories about Francis Albert Sinatra are endless. Two decades before Beatlemania hit the States, thousands of girls queued around the block so they could see the short, skinny kid from Hoboken sing while they cried, screamed and fainted. He had a thick New Jersey accent and a thin skin, punching one critic in the back of the head and physically threatening other members of the press. His friendship with mob members and their goons supposedly helped him out of a recording contract and for decades the FBI kept a file on him running to thousands of pages. He was close friends with Marilyn Monroe and gifted her a dog; she named it “Maf”, short for Mafia Honey, just to wind him up. At the age of 48, he dated a teenage Mia Farrow and the two eventually married in 1966.
