Direct from Broadway, Mean Girls is the hilarious hit musical from an award-winning creative team, including book writer Tina Fey (30 Rock), composer Jeff Richmond (Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt), lyricist Nell Benjamin (Legally Blonde) and director Casey Nicholaw (The Book of Mormon).
Cady Heron may have grown up on an African savanna, but nothing prepared her for the vicious ways of her strange new home: suburban Illinois. Soon, this naive newbie falls prey to a trio of lionized frenemies led by the charming but ruthless Regina George. But when Cady devises a plan to end Regina’s reign, she learns the hard way that you can’t cross a Queen Bee without getting stung.
New York Magazine cheers,“Mean Girls delivers with immense energy, a wicked sense of humor and joyful inside-jokery.” USA Today says, “We’ll let you in on a little secret, because we’re such good friends: Get Your Tickets Now!”

Latin urban’s new generation has a name and it’s Jhayco.
Straight from the island of enchantment arrives Jesús Manuel Nieves Cortés, better known as Jhayco, a trailblazer and phenomenon that has somehow managed to shape and disrupt the music industry, all at the same time.
Originally born in Rio Piedra, Puerto Rico, Jhayco lived in New Jersey for most of his childhood. At the age of 12 he returned to Puerto Rico and found that a new style of music had increased in popularity. That was when he fell in love with urban music, listening to Don Omar, a sound that helped define his future as a singer-songwriter and artist forever.
From the early age of 14 he began to produce and compose songs, and it was only two years later, at the age of 16, that his work as producer and composer in Tito El Bambino’s album Invencible granted him his first Grammy.
Catapulted into a promising career as a composer, he began working hand in hand with great artists like Zion & Lennox, Natti Natasha and Nicky Jam, among others. All the while, he would continue to develop his own sound and discover his style, eventually releasing his first songs.
Jhayco continued working as a composer and producer, taking home his second Grammy Award for Best Urban Album for J Balvin’s 2018 album Vibras, for which he wrote four songs. He also won Song of the Year awarded by the Songwriters Association, ASCAP, for the song “I Like It” by Cardi B, J Balvin and Bad Bunny. Two more of his songs, “Criminal” and “No Es Justo” also received awards.
He became a household name in the urbano scene with his massive worldwide hit “No Me Conoce,” which later had reggaeton superstars J Balvin and Bad Bunny in a remix that skyrocketed him to the top of the charts. It maintained its spot among the most watched videos and most listened songs globally, in addition to being among the Top 5 in Billboard’s Hot Latin Songs and on the general market’s Hot 100 list.
His album Famouz, composed entirely by him and for which he also acted as the executive producer, charted on Billboard’s Top 10 Latin Albums in the United States for more than 70 weeks. With Famouz Reloaded, he debuted in the Top 10 Latin charts on Apple Music in 23 countries, featuring collaborations with the genre’s heavy hitters such as J Balvin, Ozuna, Bad Bunny, Wisin y Yandel, Zion & Lennox and Karol G, among others.
Jhay has been praised and recognized as an artist that stands out within the urban music scene, not only by the media and the genre’s heavy hitters, but also by music fans around the world. He is the genius behind some of the biggest Latin hits in the world (including Dakiti, No Me Conoce, Medusa, among others).
With over 16 billion combined streams, the trailblazing Puerto Rican artist has helped shape the landscape of urban music today. Jhayco presents a new age in the urban scene, crafting an international sound for the Latin genre and taking it to global stages for his diverse and continually growing fanbase. Jhayco’s latest album Timelezz was #1 on iTunes Latin Chart and #2 on Billboard. Jhayco’s song “Dakiti” with Bad Bunny led him to #1 on the Billboard Global 200.
With over 30m monthly Spotify listeners and part of the Billion Club Playlist with “Dakiti” Jhayco has a fan base of 1.8m TikTok followers, 5m Instagram followers and 3.7b+ combined YouTube views and part of the Billion Views Club on both Spotify and YouTube with “No Me Conoce” and “Dakiti”.

Christopher Wilson, aka Riot Ten, exploded into electronic music at the age of 22 with his unique blend of dubstep, trap and electro. Inking his first deal with DIM MAK Records in early 2017, Riot Ten’s music has been supported and co-signed by the likes of DJ Snake, The Chainsmokers, Porter Robinson, Excision, Zed’s Dead, Steve Aoki and many more. He has also released music on Interscope, Atlantic, Never Say Die and Bassrush Records — to name a few.
Riot Ten’s 2016 single “F*ck It” topped the dubstep charts for many consecutive months and became a staple on The Chainsmokers’ Memories Do Not Open tour. This cross-genre success paved the way for “Rail Breaker,” his 2017 global smash, to become one of the most recognizable and infamous dubstep songs of the decade. However, the El Paso, Texas native refused to rest on his laurels. Following this success, it was off to the races, officially, and it was only the beginning.
Riot Ten put out his debut EP The Dead in 2018, which recorded a top 10 debut on the iTunes dance charts and a #1 Beatport top 100 spot. He went on to release two additional EPs in 2018 and 2019, securing his presence in some of Spotify’s top electronic playlists, including Beast Mode, Hype, Fresh Electronic and more. With an undeniable groundswell underway, and no signs of slowing down, Riot Ten was fast becoming a rising star in bass music. He has now recorded and released two albums since 2020, while simultaneously releasing a string of singles and EPs that would feature some of his most popular records to date, including “Hyphy,” “Mawlee,” “Don’t You” and “Poppin.”
Since 2019, Riot Ten has headlined three international Hype Or Die tours, selling out shows across the globe, from North America to Australia and China. He has also made appearances at some of the top festivals in the world including Lollapalooza, Coachella, EDC Las Vegas, Electric Zoo, Lost Lands, Bass Canyon, Paradiso and more.

Their 1975 self-titled album Fleetwood Mac reached No. 1 in the United States. Rumours (1977), Fleetwood Mac’s second album after the arrival of Buckingham and Nicks, produced four U.S. Top 10 singles and remained at No. 1 on the American albums chart for 31 weeks. It also reached the top spot in countries around the world and won a Grammy Award for Album of the Year in 1978. Rumours has sold over 40 million copies worldwide, making it one of the best-selling albums in history.

Phil Rosenthal is the award-winning creator, executive producer and host of Somebody Feed Phil, as well as a New York Times Best Selling author.
Somebody Feed Phil – one of Netflix’s most popular food and travel shows – has garnered a cult-like following. March of 2024 marks the release of its seventh season. This Emmy-nominated unscripted documentary series, which combines his love of food and travel with his unique brand of humor, has become must-see TV for foodies, restaurateurs, travelers and armchair enthusiasts all over the world. Rosenthal won a 2022 Critics Choice Real TV Award for Best Travel/Adventure Show on behalf of the series, and he also garnered a 2022 James Beard Award nomination for Visual Media—Long Form.
Following a resounding call from fans, Rosenthal created a companion book, Somebody Feed Phil the Book, which was released in the U.S. in 2022 via Simon Element (an imprint of Simon & Schuster). It immediately landed on the New York Times Best Seller list, which then led to a UK release in January 2023 and a multi-country tour selling out venues across the globe. During this time, Rosenthal had the chance to connect face-to-face with his fans — sharing insights into the ultimate collection of must-have recipes, never-before-heard stories, behind-the-scenes photos and more from the first four seasons of the beloved series.
Phil Rosenthal has one rule about food: try everything at least once, which led him to create a new children’s book with his daughter Lily called Just Try It (A Phil and Lil Book). The hilarious picture book is geared towards young children and is about a food-loving dad encouraging his picky eater daughter to just try something new.
He has expanded his love of humor, food and human connection by launching his first podcast, Naked Lunch in 2022. Co-hosted with his friend and longtime Rolling Stone journalist David Wild, each episode of this weekly talk-show podcast features a special, world-renowned guest to discuss what’s going on in their lives – “an informal meeting of wits, minds and hearts” – while eating lunch from some of Phil’s favorite local LA eateries.
Rosenthal’s early writing credits include the comedy series Down the Shore and Coach. In 1995, Rosenthal created the hit CBS comedy Everybody Loves Raymond, which premiered the following year. He served as the showrunner and executive producer for all nine years of the show’s very successful run. During its original run, the show was nominated for over 70 Emmy Awards, and won 15 awards, including two for Best Comedy Series. Rosenthal won the 2002 Writers Guild Award for Excellence in Television Writing for his Italy script.
After the series wrapped, Rosenthal penned a book on the art of comedy and the making of a sitcom classic, You’re Lucky You’re Funny: How Life Becomes a Sitcom. He co-wrote America: A Tribute to Heroes, the 9/11 telethon which aired on the four main broadcast networks in September 2001, for which he won a Peabody Award and an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Writing.
He then went on to write, direct and star in his first feature film for Sony Pictures. Exporting Raymond, the true story about the attempt to turn Everybody Loves Raymond into a Russian sitcom, was met with critical acclaim upon its release in 2010. In 2015, Rosenthal embarked on a new journey by creating his first travel food series, I’ll Have What Phil’s Having. This PBS documentary series received two Taste Awards and won the 2016 James Beard Award for Best Television Program on Location.
In 2020, Rosenthal launched “Somebody Feed the People”, an initiative of the Rosenthal Family Foundation that supports organizations making an impact and building community through food. This inclusive and non-partisan initiative partners with organizations across the U.S. that address food access and insecurity, support chefs and restaurant workers, create employment pathways, and strengthen the health of our food systems.
