his deﬁnitive phrasing, and his extraordinaryth musicality; all of which remain immediately identiﬁable today… is a fully arranged, multi-media Celebration of the SINATRA Songbook and of the life and musical legacy of this great American Icon, over the past Century plus, since his birth in 1915. Singing the tunes made famous by Sinatra, while also offering a compellingly personal, insightful, and humorous commentary, is veteran Broadway Star, Recording Artist, and Concert Headliner,

who also worked with and recorded for many of the Songwriters whose songs Sinatra popularized. “… a luxuriant Vocalist with effortless style” “…Viviano’s enormous presence captures hearts and minds in one spellbinding moment after another…”

“… a clarion and richly-colored voice with a mellow, saxophone-like timbre...” “He’s a guy whom you suspect doesn’t take himself too seriously… with a smooth delivery and buckets of charm that created instant rapport with the crowd…”

“ …the format requires considerable versatility… Sal Viviano is exceptional in this regard; he’s a charming comic presence throughout . . . “

“With a rich romantic fervor, Sal Viviano possesses a beguiling subtlety, and an almost serene dignity that could be his trademark . . .” “Throughout the evening, Viviano skillfully demonstrated that the STANDARDS are sublimely within his wheelhouse…"

In one hit song after another, Sal Viviano pays tribute to the legendary style and romantic musical gifts that “Ol’ Blue Eyes” gave to us all.

Newsies, directed by Tommy Ranieri, choreographed by Trent Soyster, with musical direction by Jonathan Brenner. Opening January 31, 2026. Performances run through March 22, 2026. Starring Mason Ballard (Regional: Bonnie & Clyde) as Jack Kelly, Cara Rose DiPietro (Regional: Little Shop of Horrors) as Katherine Plumber, Keyon Pickett ( Hallmarks’s “A Christmas Love Story”) as Davey, Jeremy DerMovsesian (Regional: Saturday Night Fever) as Crutchie, Arielle Faye Beane (Argyle’s Mary Poppins) as Medda Larkin, and Andrew Foote (National Tour: Jekyll & Hyde) as Joseph Pulitzer. Set in turn-of-thecentury New York City, Newsies is the rousing tale of Jack Kelly, a charismatic newsboy and leader of a

band of teenaged “newsies.” When powerful publishing titans raise distribution prices at the newsboys’ expense, Jack rallies newsies from across the city to strike against the unfair conditions and fight for what’s right. Based on the 1992 Disney film and inspired by a true story, Newsies features a Tony Award-winning score by Alan Menken (Little Shop of Horrors, Sister Act), lyrics by Jack Feldman, and a book by Tony Award winner Harvey Fierstein (Kinky Boots). Featuring beloved songs such as “Carrying the Banner,” “Seize the Day,” and “Santa Fe,” Newsies is packed with non-stop thrills, breathtaking choreography, and a powerful, uplifting message—making it the perfect show for audiences of all ages. “Newsies is a show about

courage, community, and young people discovering the power of their own voices,” said Evan Pappas, Artistic Director of The Argyle Theatre. “With its thrilling score and explosive choreography, this production is pure theatrical adrenaline. We’re incredibly excited to introduce the outstanding cast who will bring this iconic story to life on our stage.” The creative team includes Tommy Ranieri (Director), Trent Soyster (Choreographer), Jonathan Brenner (Musical Director), Christian Fleming (Scenic Design), Cameron Filepas (Lighting Design), Amanda Scanze (Costume Design), Kimberly S. O’Loughlin (Sound Design), Holly Romero (Hair/Wig/Makeup Design), Callie Hester (Props Design), and Russ Brown (Music Coordinator). The production team includes Daniel Vaughn (Production Stage Manager), Gabrielle P. Guagenti (Assistant Stage Manager), and Pat Downes

(Technical Director). Casting Director is Michael Cassara, CSA. NOW ON SALE: Tickets for Newsies range from $70-$95 and may be purchased online at www. argyletheatre.com or by calling (631) 230-3500.

Tips To Stay The Course With A New Diet The dawn of a new year marks a great time to turn over a new leaf. Many people begin a new year by making resolutions, and aspiring to eat healthier is annually among the most popular pledges healthconscious individuals make. A recent Statista survey of hundreds of people across the globe found that eating healthier was the second most popular New Year’s resolution of 2024. 50 percent of respondents indicated they set goals to eat healthier in the year ahead. Though each year is different, it’s fair to assume a similarly large percentage of resolutionminded individuals will aspire to eat healthier over the next 12 months. As people begin their journeys to a healthier lifestyle, they can consider these strategies to stay the course with a new diet. • Do not eat too close

to bedtime. A recent study published in the Journal of Human Nutrition and Dietetics found that eating more of a day’s total energy intake in the evening is associated with a higher risk of being overweight or obese. The researchers behind the study concluded that eating more of the day’s energy intake at midday can lower the risk of being overweight or obese. Individuals are more likely to stay the course when they see positive results, so try to eat dinner several hours before bedtime and resist the urge to snack after dinnertime.

Cutting out indulgent foods may seem appropriate, but such an approach could make you miserable, and a diet that sparks feelings of misery will prove harder to commit to than one that allows for the occasional indulgence. Moderation is the name of the game, and that should be a rule of thumb for both healthy foods and indulgences. Don’t make indulgences part of your daily routine, even if you eat them in moderation. Rather, save treats for special occasions, and even then only eat them in moderation.

• Treat yourself, but only periodically. It’s unreasonable and potentially counterproductive to avoid foods seen as treats completely.

• Consider eating less, but more frequently. Data is conflicting regarding eating smaller but more frequent meals. A study published in

the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics found that individuals with six or more eating occasions in 24 hours had a lower mean body mass index than those with four or fewer eating occasions in 24 hours. The researchers behind the study concluded that eating a larger number of small

meals throughout the day may be associated with improved diet quality and lower BMI. This approach is commonly referred to as “grazing,” and some research has indicated it has no metabolic advantage over other approaches to eating. So what to make of the mixed results? Dieters can

decide for themselves and eat more frequent but smaller, healthier meals to combat hunger pangs that can arise when switching to a new diet. If hunger no longer poses a threat that can derail your diet, then this approach might increase the chances you stay committed to eating right.

Score The Best Deals This Presidents’ Day

After the Uniform Monday Holiday Act was passed, Washington’s Birthday was combined with the celebration of Abraham Lincoln’s birthday (February 12) to commemorate these two iconic figures in American history. The day also has become a way to promote retail sales during a historically slow time of year for retailers. As a result, the holiday is now celebrated each year on the third Monday of the month, and is now called Presidents’ Day. It also now pays homage to all American presidents. Presidents’ Day is an ideal time to get great deals on any number of items, as many key products tend to go on sale this time of year. • Furniture: Furniture discounts peak in January

and during the three-day Presidents’ Day holiday. This is prime time to grab a new sofa, dining set or any other pieces of furniture needed for the home.

• Large appliances: Appliances also are on sale this time of year. Buyers can get discounts on new refrigerators, washing machines or even stoves. • Home goods: Rounding out the list of deals for home goods, bed linens, towels and kitchenware are often available at steep discounts around Presidents’ Day.

discounted winter gear, especially coats and boots, before it’s all gone.

• Mattresses: Presidents’ Day weekend is an excellent opportunity to try out various mattresses and replace old ones with more comfortable models, according to Consumer Reports. • Tech: Shoppers may be able to snag discounts on items like televisions, accessories to use with cell phones, computers, and more.

Presidents’ Day is an opportunity to study and • Winter clothing: Retailers already have started celebrate American history, and it also offers a chance putting out their spring lines and items as they to benefit from great deals on many items for the plan ahead for warmer weather.

Franchises That Have Never Won A Super Bowl More than 135 million people tuned in to watch the Kansas City Chiefs attempt to make history at Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans on February 9, 2025. Seeking their third straight Super Bowl title, a feat that had never been accomplished in the history of the National Football League, the Chiefs ultimately fell short, falling to the Philadelphia Eagles by a score of 40-22. Chiefs fans who were disappointed by the result of Super Bowl LIX could nonetheless rest a little easier knowing the franchise already had four Super Bowl wins to its credit. Many devoted fans and storied franchises have no such championship pedigree to fall back on. In fact, the number of franchises that have yet to win a Super Bowl might surprise diehard and casual fans alike. All told, 12 franchises have yet to win a Super Bowl, but perhaps this year’s game will end with one of those teams permanently removing themselves from this list: • Arizona Cardinals • Atlanta Falcons • Buffalo Bills • Carolina Panthers • Cincinnati Bengals • Cleveland Browns • Detroit Lions • Houston Texans • Jacksonville Jaguars • Los Angeles Chargers • Minnesota Vikings • Tennessee Titans

The Global Impact Of Martin Luther King, Jr.

Americans pay homage to Martin Luther King, Jr. every January. While King was a renowned leader for his role in the American civil rights movement, his legacy extends beyond American borders. King began to speak about global issus after receiving the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964, visiting countries in west Africa and toured South America. King also spent a month in India, where he was inspired by Mahatma Gandhi's use of nonviolence when protesting British rule. King spoke out against apartheid in South Africa and condemned the use of nuclear weapons against Japan during World War II. He also was a critic of the Vietnam War. As a Christian minister, King's first priority was to promote the teachings of Jesus Christ, and King felt an obligation to do God's work around the world.
