Buena Vista Social Club explodes with brilliant, vibrant music and dancing.” – The Daily Beast It’s been years since legendary singer Omara Portuondo last entered a recording studio. Once known as the “Queen of Feeling,” her voice was celebrated throughout Cuba – until she vanished from the spotlight. But when an ambitious young record producer brings her a rare opportunity, the elusive diva must finally reckon with her past. Hailed as a "jaw-dropping, soul-stirring must see" (The Washington Post), the Tony® and Grammy® Award-winning Buena Vista Social Club™ is a journey through music and memory into the beating heart of Havana. A world-class company brings the story of the iconic album to thrilling life in this tale of big dreams, second chances, and music that needs no translation. A Beautiful Noise: The Neil Diamond Musical – Miami premiere Tuesday, December 1st, 2026 - Sunday, December 6th, 2026 “SO GOOD, SO GOOD, SO GOOD!” - CBS, CNN, Good Morning America, Morning Joe, Entertainment Weekly Created in collaboration with Neil Diamond himself, A BEAUTIFUL NOISE is the uplifting true story of how a kid from Brooklyn became a chart-busting, show-stopping American rock icon. With 120 million albums sold, a catalogue of classics like "America," "Forever in Blue Jeans" and "Sweet Caroline," an induction into the Songwriters and Rock and Roll Halls of Fame, a Grammy® Lifetime Achievement Award and sold-out concerts around the world that made him bigger than Elvis, Neil Diamond's story was made to shine on Broadway and head out on the road across America. Like Jersey Boys and Beautiful: The Carole King Musical before it, A Beautiful Noise: The Neil Diamond Musical is an inspiring, exhilarating, energy-filled musical memoir that tells the untold true story of how America's greatest hitmaker became a star, set to the songs that defined his career. The Great Gatsby – South Florida premiere Tuesday, January 12th, 2027 - Sunday, January 17th, 2027 “A razzle-dazzle show, a riot of 1920’s costumes, tap dancing, fireworks, and vintage cars.” - Entertainment Weekly The Party’s Roaring In Miami! The Great Gatsby is a “Broadway extravaganza that explodes with life and energy” (Entertainment Weekly). Based on the classic American novel by F. Scott Fitzgerald, the Tony Award®-winning new musical is an unforgettable journey of love, wealth and tragedy that brings the Roaring Twenties to life on stage. Directed by Marc Bruni (Beautiful: The Carole King Musical), this story of extravagance and longing features choreography by Dominique Kelley (So You Think You Can Dance), a book by Kait Kerrigan (The Mad Ones) and a jazz- and pop-influenced original score by Jason Howland (Little Women) and Nathan Tysen (Paradise Square). The Sound Of Music Tuesday, February 9th, 2027 - Sunday, February 14th, 2027 “A masterpiece is a masterpiece and this one sings.” Chicago Tribune For 65 years, The Sound Of Music has been one of our “favorite things.” With its timeless story and irresistibly charming score, this Rodgers & Hammerstein classic isn’t just meant to be enjoyed - it’s meant to be shared. Now, a critically acclaimed North American tour brings the cherished musical to Miami to teach a new generation to sing. Directed by three-time Tony Award® winner Jack O’Brien (Hairspray), this vibrant and romantic tale of Maria and the von Trapp family will captivate audiences with its universal themes of love, resilience and the power of music. Featuring beloved songs like “Do-Re-Mi,” “Sixteen Going on Seventeen” and “Edelweiss,” The Sound Of Music is the iconic tale of a spirited nun who chooses not to live behind closed doors - and, by following her heart, learns to climb every mountain. The Sound Of Music features music by Richard Rodgers, lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II, and book by Howard Lindsay and Russel Crouse, suggested by The Trapp Family Singers by Maria Augusta Trapp. The 1965 Oscar®-winning film recently celebrated its 60th Anniversary and continues to be one of the most successful movie musicals of all time. Disney’s Beauty And The Beast Tuesday, March 30th, 2027 - Sunday, April 4th, 2027 “Beauty And The Beast is everything you could hope for: lovely music, dazzling costumes and standout choreography that made me fall in love!” - Chicago Tribune Be our guest at Disney’s Beauty And The Beast, Disney’s first North American touring production of the beloved musical in more than 25 years.

They were just four guys from Jersey, until they sang their very first note. They had a sound nobody had ever heard…and the radio just couldn’t get enough of. But while their harmonies were perfect on stage, off stage it was a very different story – a story that has made them an international sensation all over again.

Ancestry® And The Center For Jewish History Announce Partnership To Preserve & Share Holocaust Stories For Future Generations Jewish Connection News Apr 1, 2025 The Center For Jewish History (CJH) In New York Is Thrilled To Announce A New Multi-Year Partnership With Ancestry®, The Global Leader In Family History, Ahead Of International Holocaust Remembrance Day. Together, They Are Launching The Ancestry Research & Reflection Room, A New Space And Initiative To Collect, Preserve, And Share The Family Histories Of Jewish Communities Worldwide. The Ancestry Research & Reflection Room opened to the public on January 27th, 2025, to mark International Holocaust Remembrance Day and the 80th anniversary of Auschwitz's liberation. Its launch coincided with the opening of Anne Frank The Exhibition, by the Anne Frank House presented with the Center for Jewish History and the start of the Center’s program series, Anne Frank in History and Memory. The Ancestry Research & Reflection Room offers a dedicated space to explore family histories while preserving the memory of the more than six million Jews murdered in the Holocaust and the millions who suffered under Nazi persecution. Researching and sharing these stories helps ensure such atrocities are never repeated. The new partnership builds upon CJH’s DNA Reunion Project with Ancestry to unite families separated by the Holocaust through free AncestryDNA testing. “The launch of the Ancestry Research & Reflection Room represents a profound opportunity to connect individuals with their family histories, particularly those affected by the Holocaust. We are taking a monumental step toward preserving these vital stories for future generations,” said Dr. Gavriel Rosenfeld, President of the Center for Jewish History. “This partnership seeks to ensure that the legacy of Holocaust victims and survivors is not only remembered but actively shared, inspiring education and understanding for years to come.” In January Howard Hochhauser stated “As we approach the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz and recognize that the youngest Holocaust survivors are now in their 80s, preservation is more urgent than ever so that we never forget this history," said Howard Hochhauser, Chief Operating Officer and incoming Chief Executive Officer at Ancestry. "My grandmother was a Holocaust survivor, and I have witnessed first-hand the power of discovering details of her life and honoring her legacy through family history research. We are deeply grateful to our partners at the Center for Jewish History for their shared commitment to honoring the histories of those who perished, as well as the survivors.” Designed as a space that invites both contemplation and curiosity, the Ancestry Research & Reflection Room includes: • Access to powerful family history & Holocaust-related records: Ancestry, in partnership with Arolsen Archives, announced the addition of 7.5M new Holocaust and Nazi persecution-related records, bringing the total to over 39 million globally. Accessible for free as part of the Arolsen Archives Collection, the records are searchable at: www.ancestry.com/c/alwaysremember - And onsite at CJH. Visitors are invited to explore the new collection – and the 60B+ records already available on Ancestry – to make meaningful family history discoveries. • Genealogy services and discovery opportunities: Visitors will benefit from expert genealogy research assistance and access to the combined resources of CJH and Ancestry. Bringing together these resources is one further step to help ensure the stories of the six million Holocaust victims and countless survivors are never forgotten. Ancestry and CJH plan to host a virtual family history workshop with experts open to audiences across the nation and around the world. • Interactive story preservation: Guests will be invited to contribute audio or written accounts of their family histories, building a growing archive of first-person stories and eyewitness accounts captured at a critical moment when we must preserve as much of the Holocaust's lived memory as possible. • Resources for students and educators: Ancestry will provide onsite access to AncestryClassroom which allows teachers and students to explore Holocaust-related classroom materials and historical record collections available on Ancestry at no cost. Incorporating these new resources into pre-and post-visit educational programming at CJH will enhance learning opportunities for more than 150,000 students and educators expected to visit the Center this year.

Miami-Based Coming-Of-Age Comedy ETHAN BLOOM At The Kravis Center’s Rinker Playhouse Jewish Connection News Jan 15, 2026 The Donald M. Ephraim Sun & Stars International Film Festival© (SASIFF), Presented By Morselife, Returns For A Fourth Season Next Month Offering Hot, New, Award-Winning Movies From All Over The World, Kicking Off With The Delightful And Heartfelt Coming-Of-Age Comedy ETHAN BLOOM. Director Herschel Faber And Screenwriter Maylen Dominguez Will Attend The Glittery Opening Night On Sunday, January 25th, 2026, At The Kravis Center For The Performing Arts, 701 Okeechobee Boulevard, West Palm Beach, Florida 33401. As part of the Opening Night activities, SASIFF will officially present the inaugural Donald M. Ephraim/Terri Sriberg Award for Cinematic Excellence to Film Commissioner Michelle Hillery, who heads the Palm Beach County TV & Film Commission. The award is named after the festival’s respected co-founders, who are cultural philanthropists and confirmed film buffs. “Over the last three decades, the local TV & Film Commission has made an impressive cultural and financial contribution by ‘rolling out the red carpet’ to welcome productions to the filmmaker’s paradise known as The Palm Beaches,” says SASIFF Co-founder Donald M. Ephraim. “Thanks to their diligent efforts, we have become the backdrop for countless movies, television shows, commercials, photoshoots, web content and more, generating a positive economic impact of more than $200 Million annually and $4 Billion overall. Following in a tradition once exemplified by Burt Reynolds, Michelle Hillery and her talented team have played a significant role in promoting film and television production in Palm Beach County, and we are very proud to honor them at our Opening Night reception and screening.” “I am deeply honored to receive this inaugural award and grateful to the Sun & Stars International Film Festival for recognizing the work of the Palm Beach County Film & Television Commission.

Tickets are $90 and are available for purchase online at: www.sasiff.org . ETHAN BLOOM This heartfelt Opening Night screening paints a revealing portrait of adolescence, humorously exploring the struggles of an awkward teenager navigating the loss of his mother, his search for faith, and the pressures of his father’s expectations. Starring Hank Greenspan from the CBS hit comedy The Neighborhood and movie/TV actress Rachelle Lefevre (White House Down, Proven Innocent, Boston Legal, Big Wolf on Campus), ETHAN BLOOM captures the perils of first love, religion, and speculation about the afterlife as the 13-year-old title character attempts to evade his Bar Mitzvah by converting to Catholicism. Meanwhile, his widowed dad (played by Joshua Malina from The West Wing) has engaged curvaceous redheaded Rabbi Dani to administer private instruction in the Torah. Talk about complications. Torn in multiple directions, Ethan communes nightly with his mom and dead dog in the heaven he imagines for them, while struggling by day with his enthusiastic discovery of solo pleasures of the flesh. It all comes together in a spectacularly moving finale when faith, sex, love, and family all coalesce in well-deserved harmony. “ETHAN BLOOM has a good-hearted approach to comedy that probes some of life’s big questions with a tender and all-encompassing sense of humor,” says SASIFF Artistic Director Barbara Scharres, the Former Director of Programming at the Gene Siskel Film Center at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
