In a season of lists — present lists, card lists, visitor lists, ingredient lists — we’ve acquired one of the best one among all: vacation leisure lists. Our vacation preview has all the things you want, no purchasing, mailing, inviting or cooking required.
Browse our picks all through the week for what to observe on the sofa, on the movie show or on stage. There’s one thing for everybody: Oscar front-runner “Hamnet” for Shakespeare lovers looking for a great cry; Katseye on the Palladium for Okay-pop followers wanting to collectively scream; “Jingle Bell Heist” for meet-cute admirers and “Bob Baker’s Nutcracker” for nostalgics.
