If we are not able to tune in at 7 pm, is there a grace period to watch the broadcast?

I think the main premise of the movie was about the family. The father was very controlling and I think religious. The wife was timid and he controlled her. She was blonde too and I think not American. She was Polish or something, but married to this controlling dude. Movie takes place in the US.

I even think the daughter is hers from a previous relationship, but they might have another kid together.

The daughter wants to marry some guy. Someone she's been seeing in secret. The mom finds out and is against it, but ultimately she starts to see the parallels with her own relationship and decides to help her daughter escape the life her husband made for them.

The husband is a civil war enthusiast. At the end of the movie, he participates in a civil war reenactment. He brings his family along. The mom helps the daughter escape. Even though she's a teenager, she supports her marrying the boyfriend. I can't remember anything about the boyfriend or the circumstances they got together.

As for actors, I'm pretty sure the dad is known as a Broadway actor. I had a few actors in mind for the dad and for the mom, but nothing on their filmography looks familiar.

I think it's fairly recent movie, from the past 5 years, maybe up to 10. I think I watched it randomly several years ago on Amazon Prime. I may have chosen it because I recognized one or more or the actors. It wasn't a great movie, but the part about escaping during the Civil War reenactment was memorable. I think it had an unrealistically happy ending, with the daughter with flowers in her hair driving away with the boyfriend, or something like that. The mom may have been with them. I can't remember if she escapes too.

Silver Manhattan is a storytelling/concert experience created and performed by Jesse Malin, who is a pretty well-known musician in NYC even if you've never heard of him. I hadn't heard of him until a couple years ago when I heard he suffered some kind of medical issue and he had a lot of the music community rally around him.

The show primarily tells that story, of his medical issue and how bleak it seemed and how he had to go to Argentina to get treatment that's not available here. It also has stories from his childhood, like when he played CBGB at 13 years old, and other stories from his family life and career.

I don't think you need to know who he is or anything about his story to enjoy this show. It's unique and immersive. The band members play other characters from his past sometimes. They're really great, especially Bree Sharp. By the end, you'll be very invested in his journey.

The music is very loud and good. The venue is pretty small. It's at the Bowery Palace. It's playing for a few more dates.i highly recommend it if you're looking for something different and heartfelt.

By the way, rush tickets are available on Today Tix!

Emily Saliers of the Indigo Girls wrote a musical loosely based on Cyrano de Bergerac and the movie Roxanne called Starstruck. It played at Bucks County Playhouse in March. I couldn't find much about it before it opened, so I didn't know if it was worth the trip and I didn't wind up seeing it.

I still haven't heard much about it. If you saw it, was it good? Is it going anywhere? Not necessarily straight to Broadway, but will it continue to be developed at another regional theatre maybe?
