Of the holiday pop-up-store musicals on offer, one could do worse than Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas!, a remount of the slender mini-musical that appeared on Broadway six years ago, directed by Jack O’Brien and starring Patrick Page as he-who-will-not-be-wassailed. The show — which lovingly apes the 1966 Chuck Jones animated TV special wherever it can, and showcases the Albert Hague classic “You’re a Mean One, Mr. Grinch” — has been repotted in the appalling Theater at Madison Square Garden, a soul-smothering, actor-muting Chunnel of despair hewn from concrete and sadness by a clinically depressed designer of third-world mausoleums.
“I suppose I wasn’t intentionally trying to sound sad but, specially back then, the pandemic was really brutal here.” This year, Damon Albarn — architect of Blur, Gorillaz, and a constellation of operas, side projects, supergroups, and solo albums — officially became a citizen of Iceland, a nation he’d visited many times over the years. The singer-songwriter made a name for himself in the ’90s on records like Blur’s Parklife and The Great Escape, both lively rock albums that doubled as smart surveys of a certain dour, uniquely English temperament.
Every week, Vulture runs through the best, most interesting, and sometimes most confusing rap releases. In this installment: Billy Woods teams up with Kenny Segal for an impressively paranoid and deadpan release, Juvenile returns to a very different rap landscape, Chicago’s Tree continues to be engrossing, and Don Trip, a man ahead of his time, writes amazing music once you get through the first few tracks of his new album.

Like his Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt character, Tituss Burgess can hawk a product. The pinot noir entrepreneur knows that the best way to curry interest is to give your audience a taste of the good stuff, and so he poured a bottle of his $25 wine brand out of a New York City window, possibly straight into your mouth.

The face of a liar. Note: A flerk ton of Captain Marvel spoilers ahead.
Brie Larson may be the titular star of Captain Marvel, but the unlikely scene-stealer is a cat named Goose, who has captured the hearts and minds of Marvel Cinematic Universe fans everywhere with his deceptive little cat face.
Part of Goose’s charm is that he appears to be a cat, and everyone (the internet, at least) is horny for cats.
