With the arrival of spring comes a sense of fresh air and renewal. This is especially evident in the vibrant cultural horizon, which includes performances by Japanese Breakfast, Mary J. Blige, and Kim Gordon, a rich selection of restored Broadway shows—Betty Boop! Gilbert and Sullivan! Chekhov, Williams, Mamet!—the newly restored Frick Collection, and the long-awaited return of The Threepenny Opera and PBS’s Wolf Hall. Don’t forget the films of Wes Anderson, Ryan Coogler, and David Cronenberg, and, thank goodness, a new Mission: Impossible is coming just in time for summer. Your subscription allows our critics to explore the cultural landscape and bring you the best shows, movies, concerts, exhibits, and pop-up events in New York City and beyond—thank you for making Goings On your guide to the season. —Shauna Lyon
