The new Broadway revival of "Sunset Boulevard" is delighting critics and audiences alike, many of whom were left astounded by the opening of the second act, which featured a song performed live on the streets of New York City. Tom Francis, who performs that scene and stars in the production as Joe Gillis, joins us to discuss the show and how he makes that special live moment happen night after night.

Arab-American comedian Janine Harouni thought she knew everything about her family, until a DNA test upended the family's understanding of their own history. Her new comedy show, "Man'oushe," discusses this revelation, her pregnancy, and her experience being raised on Staten Island. The show is running at the SoHo Playhouse through December 21.

Actor Edward Norton portrays Pete Seeger in the new Bob Dylan biopic, "A Complete Unknown." His performance has been nominated for a Golden Globe and a Critics Choice Award, while the film has earned Best Picture nominations from both organizations. Norton joins us, along with director and writer James Mangold, to discuss the project.

This Sunday, the West Village Chorale is hosting its 50th annual Greenwich Village Caroling Walk, a free event to join the community and walk and carol around the neighborhood. To get us in the holiday spirit ahead of the walk and their winter concert on December 20, members of the Chorale perform for us live.
