College Street is more often than not alive with the sound of music, but last night some of that music was from the legendary show that gave us that classic line from that classic song. Rodgers & Hammerstein’s “The Sound of Music” made its way back to the Shubert Theatre, where it famously made its world premiere way back in 1959. Resplendent with classic characters and singalong-ready songs, this most recent revival of the show, directed by three-time Tony winner Jack O’Brien, is also making its 2026 North American tour debut on the Shubert stage.

Summer 2026 has been quite a sizzler thus far with temperatures that have had everybody racing for the beaches, the central air, and lots of big cold drinks.

With that in mind, this reporter decided to travel through the city – and a bit of nostalgia – to find the drinks that have made – and will continue to make — my summers less sweltering and much sweeter. I came up with five recommendations, in no specific order, and in the coming paragraphs you will understand why.

Film fans were treated Sunday to two short films by Connecticut-based Madonna Lewis followed by a discussion and an audience Q&A.
