The Metropolitan Opera will be featuring a fantastic show called Hansel and Gretel at the Lincoln Center for The Performing Arts. I’ve known the story about Hansel and Gretel since I was a little girl so I was super excited when I was sent tickets to see the show.
The show will be available for only a limited time, just in time for the holidays. The first showing will be on December 14th and will last for only seven more shows.
I am proud to announce that one lucky New York Chica reader will win a pair of tickets to the Thursday, December 17th show at 8:00 pm.

Cirque du Soleil was started in 1984 by two former street performers, Guy Laliberté and Daniel Gauthier in Baie-Saint-Paul, Quebec. After much success over the next few years, they managed to win the 1991 Drama Desk Award for Unique Theatrical Experience and they continue to wow their audience.
There is no other show quite like Cirque du Soleil. The first and only time I ever saw the show was in 1994, when they celebrated their tenth anniversary. It was the most amazing show I have ever seen in my entire 19 years of life. It’s nothing like a Broadway show or any other school play – they are in a class by itself. If you’ve seen Cirque du Soleil, then you know exactly what I’m talking about. From the mind-boggling juggling acts, to the unique acrobatic moves to the high-rise jumps, you’re bound to come again to watch the talents of these amazing people.
This Cirque du Soleil is a bit different than their other shows, such as Kooza, Wintuk or Alegría. Banana Shpeel is a roller-coaster mix of styles that blends comedy with tap, hip hop, eccentric dance and slapstick, all linked by a hilarious narrative that ignites a succession of wacky adventures. This is not circus, or a musical or a variety show, or even vaudeville.
Propelled by crazy humor and intense choreography, Banana Shpeel plunges us into the world of Shmelky, a cruel and irritable producer who dangles fame and fortune in front of Emmett, an innocent and romantic actor who has come to audition for him. Emmett soon finds himself trapped in a flamboyant, anarchic world where Shmelky sows terror and reigns supreme. Emmett falls in love with the beautiful Katie and meets a bunch of absurd characters, including the strange Banana Man. But who is this mysterious Banana Man and how can Emmett escape the clutches of Shmelky and his henchmen?

Are you a fan of George Lopez? Well if you are, then you’ll love his brand, new talk show on TBS called Lopez Tonight. This show marks the first time a Latino will host a late night talk show, joining Arsenio Hall as an elite group of minorities to do so.
Lopez Tonight premieres tonight, November 10, 2009 on TBS at 11/10c. Tonight you will see “Desperate Housewives” actress Eva Longoria Parker, talk show host and “American Idol” judge Ellen DeGeneres, NBA all-star Kobe Bryant and rock legend Carlos Santana.
Also, don’t miss the audience game that everyone will be talking about tomorrow, “Bullet Wound… Not a Bullet Wound?”
This is my younger sister and I at the Rachael Ray show that we were in. I know it’s not much (obviously you can’t see our faces), but I thought it would be cool for a WW.
