Connie Britton THE WHITE LOTUS STAR SHARES HER CURRENT POP CULTURE PICKS
THEATER The Nutcracker (1) “We would frequently spend Christmas in New York City when I was growing up, so when I think about the holidays now, that’s what comes to mind. With the return of live performances, I’m dreaming of the New York City Ballet’s version of The Nutcracker—but I hope people can enjoy local productions in their towns too.” The Magic Flute and Cinderella “The Metropolitan Opera in N.Y.C. is doing some abridged operas specifically for younger audiences. These are two of the shows coming up in December.”
MOVIES Sing 2 and Spider-Man: No Way Home
(2) “Most of my entertainment lately revolves around my 10-year-old son, Yoby, and we’re pretty excited for both of these.” West Side Story (3) “I saw a stage production of this when I was young, and it inspired me to become an actor. Steven Spielberg has directed an adaptation that will be thrilling to see, particularly with its ethnically appropriate cast, music on a Spielberg scale, and a relevance at this moment that will hopefully resonate with kids all over again. Also, Rita Moreno is in it—enough said.” House of Gucci (4) “You had me at Lady Gaga. And Gucci.”
BOOK Stacey’s Extraordinary Words (5) “Stacey Abrams has written a children’s book, and I’m just as excited to read it myself as I am for Yoby to read it. Inspiration from my girl crush!”
TV Colin in Black and White (6) “I am so happy
1
Ava DuVernay and Colin Kaepernick joined forces to explore Colin’s upbringing [in this Netflix series]. It’s another one I look forward to sharing with my son, and one that I imagine will be inspiring and illuminating to many.” 2
