COMING NOVEMBER 25TH TO KICK OFF YOUR HOLIDAY SEASON!
Daniel Nardicio presents Dina Martina (a.k.a. “The Second Lady of Entertainment”) will bring her famed holiday trainwreck of a show to Sony Hall for the first time since pre-Covid, and NYC is very ready for her. In this hysterically funny show, Martina blends a truly wondrous mix of questionable song, unnecessary dance, overburdened costumes, and side-splitting video to bring back your favorite holiday tradition.
