Trump & Melania at Chicago, Kennedy Center's Last Show

It's March 31st. Entertainment and celebrity news. Today starts now, AI-powered and trending.

President Trump and First Lady Melania are heading to the Kennedy Center tonight for the opening

of the musical Chicago. This could be one of their last shows there before the place shuts down

for renovations in July. It's their first joint appearance at the center since a documentary

premiere back in January. The show, a sharp satire, said in the 1920s about fame turning

crooks into stars, runs through April 5th. Trump caught Les Miserables their last summer,

and got a mix of booze and cheers from the crowd. Later this year, on June 28th,

the center plans to honor Bill Marr with the Marr Twain Prize for American Humor.

Since taking office again in January 2025, Trump has reshaped the Kennedy Center. He pushed out

old leaders, installed a loyal board, and got himself named Chairman. That board slapped his name

on the building and greenlit a two-year closure after big-name performers bailed over his takeover.

Those moves sparked cancellations from top-axe musicians, plus ongoing lawsuits challenging

the changes. Folks are still heated about the whole shake-up. Meanwhile, Trump skipping the conservative

political action conference this weekend in Texas, blaming a busy plate with the war in Iran.

White House folks say he still digs the event and its crew, just scheduling God in the wing.

Keeps the drama rolling as always.
