Time Out says

Big, beloved and not-so-beautiful MSG is perhaps the most famous sports arena in the world. Perched above Penn Station since 1968, the 20,000-seat venue is not only home to New York basketball and ice hockey teams the Knicks and the Rangers, but also is a favorite spot for college basketball tournaments (The Big East), professional boxing, MMA fighting and as a destination for WWE. Non-sports fans, however, mainly know the Garden as the best spot in town to catch touring international sensations like Adele, Beyonce and Aziz Ansari and countless other amazing concerts. To learn about the history of the arena, which existed in several other iterations at other locations for the past 130 years, check out the All-Access Tour ($30, seniors and students $26, group rates available), which stops in the arena bowl and takes visitors to exhibits featuring images and paraphernalia from iconic moments in sports and performance history.

What’s on

Annie

"Tomorrow" never dies! Thomas Meehan, Charles Strouse and Martin Charnin's beloved 1977 comic-strip musical, last seen on Broadway more than a decade ago, comes back to NYC with the tuneful tale of how a coppertop ragamuffin, her dog and an ultrarich industrialist save each other (and the country) during the Great Depression. For most of the show's holiday stint at Madison Square Garden, EGOT winner and View-master Whoopi Goldberg plays the slatternly, orphan-hating Miss Hannigan. Jenn Thompson, a replacement Pepper in the original Broadway run, directs this touring production.

Aerosmith

The legendary, if somewhat cheesy, rock ’n' rollers bid farewell to fans after 50+ years of rocking out. The “Peace Out” tour sees them hit the road all over North America throughout the year and into 2025. So don your tightest pants and get your devil horns at the ready for a final hurrah with classics including “Walk this Way” and “Dude (Looks like a Lady)”. This Madison Square Garden date looks set to be a biggie.
