It's a big month for Broadway. WNYC culture editor Jennifer Vanasco drops by with a roundup of all the shows opening and reopening.
Lilly Hiatt had planned a tour for right after the release of her last album, Walking Proof, which came out March 27, 2020. But when COVID shutdowns made that impossible, she ended up writing new music instead. Now, she’s releasing her new album, Lately, out today. Hiatt joins us for a release day Listening Party and shares a special performance.
