Ariana Madix is back on Broadway, this time with a special twist. While her debut in Chicago on Broadway was in a traditional proscenium stage, playing 'Connie Francis' in Just In Time will have the audience all around her.

The ruling is the second setback in four months for the effort. The board - chaired by Trump himself - first added the president's name to the center's formal title in December, crediting him with securing $257 million for...
