Tickets are $30; $28 for members, or, for prime orchestra seating and a V.I.P. reception, $75 and $70 for members.
Tomorrow, a new popular tradition, “Celebrity Autobiography,” returns at 7 and 9:30 p.m. with Christie Brinkley, Dick Cavett, Ralph Macchio, Eugene Pack, Dayle Reyfel, Brooke Shields, Jennifer Tilly, and others reading “motherly wisdom” from Nancy Regan, Ivana Trump, Kathie Lee, Kris Jenner Kardashian, and Candy Spelling.

Tickets start at $40; $38 for members.
