LIVE from Los Angeles: Who's in the mood for a wonderfully romantic comedy based on classic literature? Then look no further then YOUNG WERTHER. Tonight we sit down with Writer / Director José Avelino Gilles Corbett Lourenço to discuss. Then we go in the opposite direction with a Christmas Eve set action thriller starring Taron Egerton and Jason Bateman, Netflix's CARRY ON. In the mood for a kooky, crime caper, comedy? Then THE STICKY on Amazon Prime Video is what you're going to love. There's a ton of great holiday themed theatre here in LA but none as clever, zany and fun as the Troubies latest holiday mashup of the film HOME ALONE and The Beatles' Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, the (drumroll please)... TROUBIES’ HOME ALONE-LY HEARTS CLUB BAND at The Colony Theater in Burbank. Then we will close out the evening with two spectacular concerts. Conductor Zubin Mehta performing Brahms at The Walt Disney Concert Hall & Dinosaur Jr. performing the entire Where You Been album for its 30th Anniversary, with surprise guests! December 12th at 7pm-11pm PT, 10pm - 2am ET.
