CURATOR'S CORNER TICKETS MAKE GREAT GIFTS - Patricia Lynch, Executive Director Being in Portsmouth during the holidays always reminds me how magical this season really is. People coming together from all over to experience the magic that Vintage Christmas brings to town is so uniquely festive, it’s no wonder we’re the Christmas Capital of North America. As you’re reading this month’s magazine, our production of Irving Berlin’s White Christmas has swung onto our stage; the iconic songs, phenomenal dance numbers, and the legendary Sally Struthers are going to delight your entire family. If you haven’t gotten your tickets yet, don’t wait, you aren’t going to want to miss this.

Oh, and did you know that some of the best views on the stage can be seen from our balcony?

parts of my job. This is why one of my favorite gifts to give are tickets to shows. We’ve got a winter lineup featuring the European phenomenon, Benjamin Clementine (if you love the intensity of Leonard Cohen and the sound of Nina

Simone, this one’s for you!), the charming Hot Sardines, and the New York Times best-selling author Jojo Moyes, and those are just a few of the can’t-miss shows we have in store for you. Head over to TheMusicHall.org for a full listing of everything we’ve got booked.

While you’re thinking about gifts, don’t forget that a Music Hall Membership is a gift that keeps on giving all year-long. Memberships have so many great benefits including early access to tickets and special discounts around town, and they start at just $50 per household per year. Right now, we’ve got a special membership promotion that you can learn more about on page 7.

Have a happy, safe, and joyful holiday season. I’ll see you at the theater!

BATTLE OF THE SEXES PG13

• 2h 1m • UK 12/22, 12/27, 12/28 • 7pm In the wake of the sexual revolution and the rise of the women's movement, the 1973 tennis match between women's World #1 Billie Jean King (Emma Stone) and exmen's-champ and serial hustler Bobby Riggs (Steve Carell) was billed as ‘The Battle Of The Sexes’ and became one of the most-watched televised sports events of all time, reaching 90 million viewers around the world.

• 1h 29m • France • subtitles 12/2, 12/5, 12/6, 12/7 • 7pm Agnès Varda, 89, and JR, 34, have things in common: a passion for and the exploration of images in general, and more precisely, for places and for ways of showing, sharing, and exhibiting them. Agnès chose cinema. JR chose to create open air photography galleries. When Agnès and JR met in 2015, they immediately wanted to work together, to shoot a documentary in France, far from cities, during a trip in JR's photographic (and magical) truck.

• 1h 31m • US 12/8, 12/9, 12/12, 12/13, 12/14 • 7pm With 78 shots and 52 cuts over the course of 3 minutes, Psycho redefined screen violence, set the stage for decades of slasher films to come, and introduced a new element of danger to the moviegoing experience. The screeching strings, the plunging knife, the slow zoom out from a lifeless eyeball: in 1960, Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho changed film history forever with its taboo-shattering shower scene. Featuring Guillermo del Toro, Bret Easton Ellis, Jamie Lee Curtis, Eli Roth, and Peter Bogdanovich.

HUMAN FLOW PG13

His next show is "The Square," an installation which invites passersby to altruism, reminding them of their role as responsible fellow human beings. Meanwhile, the museum's PR agency has created an unexpected campaign for the exhibit. Stars Dominic West and Elisabeth Moss.

I, TONYA R

• 1h 59m • US 12/29, 12/30, 1/2, 1/3 • 7pm Based on unbelievable but true events, comes a darkly comedic tale of American figure skater, Tonya Harding (Margot Robbie), and one of the most sensational scandals in sports history. Though Harding was the first American woman to complete a triple axel in competition, her legacy was forever defined by her association with an infamous, ill-conceived, and even more poorly executed attack on fellow Olympic competitor Nancy Kerrigan. Bobby Cannavale, Sebastian Stan, Mckenna Grace and Allison Janney also star.
