Merchant Cash Advance Litigation Accelerates Across New York as Courts Examine Alleged Disguised Loan Agreements
New York remains the epicenter of merchant cash advance litigation &mdash; and 2025's landmark enforcement action is reshaping what defenses are available to business owners.
NEW YORK &mdash; Small business owners across the five boroughs are facing a wave of merchant cash advance (MCA) collection actions, and many are being sued in New York courts even when their businesses operate hundreds of miles away.
The reason is structural. Most MCA agreements contain New York forum-selection clauses buried in the fine print, funneling disputes into state Supreme Court regardless of where the business is located. Once a funder files, the timeline moves fast: New York gives defendants roughly 20 to 30 days to respond, and missing that window can result in a default judgment &mdash; followed by frozen bank accounts and restraining notices served directly on institutions like Chase and TD Bank.
What has shifted is the legal landscape underneath these cases. In 2025, the New York Attorney General's settlement with Yellowstone Capital resulted in more than a billion dollars in debt cancellation and confirmed what defense attorneys had argued for years: that many MCA products marketed as "purchases of future receivables" functioned as illegal, disguised loans.
New York courts now weigh three factors to determine whether an MCA is a true receivables purchase or a loan subject to usury limits &mdash; whether the contract contains a genuine reconciliation provision, whether the funder retains recourse if the business fails, and whether the funder bears any real risk. Where daily payments never adjust to actual revenue, courts have increasingly recharacterized the agreement as a loan, potentially triggering New York's criminal usury cap under Penal Law &sect; 190.40.
Business owners also have procedural tools. A default judgment entered through improper service or an out-of-state Confession of Judgment &mdash; a practice New York restricted in 2019 &mdash; can often be challenged with a motion to vacate under CPLR &sect; 5015.
The practical takeaway for New York business owners: the earliest stage of an MCA dispute is when the most options exist. Once a judgment is entered and accounts are frozen, defenses narrow quickly.
Business owners in New York City who have been served with an MCA lawsuit, received a summons, or had a bank account frozen can review their options and connect with an experienced MCA defense attorney through CredibleLaw's New York network at <a href="https://crediblelaw.com/mca-lawyer-nyc/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank"></a><a href="https://crediblelaw.com/mca-lawyer-nyc/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">crediblelaw.com/mca-lawyer-nyc/</a><a href="https://crediblelaw.com/mca-lawyer-nyc/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank"></a>

With stress, burnout, uncertainty, grief, and division continuing to affect people across the country, bestselling authors Elizabeth Hamilton-Guarino and Dr. Katie Eastman are offering something many people are actively searching for right now: practical, real-life ways to reduce stress, stay motivated, strengthen relationships, navigate life&rsquo;s challenges, and cultivate peace in everyday life.
Their new book, <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Peace-Guidebook-Cultivate-Healing-Humankind/dp/0757326080" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">The Peace Guidebook: How to Cultivate Hope, Healing, and Harmony for the Good of Humankind</a>&nbsp;(Health Communications Inc./Simon &amp; Schuster), is part of The Guidebook Series&nbsp;from the original publishers of the Chicken Soup for the Soul&reg;&nbsp;series. The book has quickly resonated with readers seeking practical strategies to navigate emotional overwhelm, burnout, grief, and uncertainty with greater clarity, resilience, and hope.
Adding to its momentum, The Peace Guidebook&nbsp;was recently named a 2026 International Book Award&nbsp;winner and earned praise from Jack Canfield, co-creator of the Chicken Soup for the Soul&reg;&nbsp;series.
&ldquo;A beacon of light in this chaotic world. A must-read for modern times.&rdquo;
&mdash; Jack Canfield, co-author of the Chicken Soup for the Soul&reg;&nbsp;series and The Success Principles&trade;
Published on April 21, 2026, the book features a foreword by Rev. Mpho A. Tutu van Furth and invites readers to rethink peace not as a distant ideal, but as a daily practice that can be cultivated even during life&rsquo;s most difficult moments.
Rather than presenting peace as the absence of conflict or hardship, the authors encourage readers to embrace it as an intentional way of living through change, loss, burnout, uncertainty, and personal challenges. Through practical guidance, relatable stories, and reflective exercises, The Peace Guidebook&nbsp;offers readers actionable tools for building emotional resilience, improving relationships, and creating greater harmony in their personal and professional lives.
The book introduces 10 guiding principles&mdash;including Presence, Patience, Partnership, and Perseverance&mdash;that help readers integrate peaceful practices into everyday life while navigating the realities of work, family, health, and personal growth.
Elizabeth Hamilton-Guarino is a bestselling author, founder of The Best Ever You Network, co-founder of The Percolate Peace Project, speaker, coach, and author of The Change Guidebook, The Success Guidebook, and The Peace Guidebook.
Joining her is Dr. Katie Eastman, a bestselling author, licensed mental health provider with more than 40 years of experience, co-founder of ReCreate Coaching and Counseling, co-founder of The Percolate Peace Project, and co-author of The Peace Guidebook. An educator, counselor, speaker, and resilience expert, Dr. Eastman has spent decades helping individuals navigate grief, loss, life transitions, emotional well-being, and personal growth.
Together, Hamilton-Guarino and Eastman bring decades of expertise in mental health, grief and loss, emotional resilience, leadership, personal development, and peaceful living, making them sought-after guests for television, radio, podcasts, print features, and digital media.
At a time when many people feel overwhelmed by the pace of modern life and the uncertainty surrounding them, the authors believe peace is not something people simply hope to find someday&mdash;it is something they can begin practicing today.
&ldquo;This book is a call to action and a call to calm,&rdquo; said Hamilton-Guarino and Eastman. &ldquo;It is a reminder that peace begins within each of us. Every person matters, every voice has value, and no one has to walk this journey alone.&rdquo;
The Peace Guidebook&nbsp;is also part of the broader Percolate Peace Project, a global initiative working to inspire one million people to embrace peace as a way of life through intentional daily actions that strengthen individuals, families, workplaces, and communities.
&ldquo;This is more than a book,&rdquo; the authors said. &ldquo;It is a blueprint for personal and collective transformation, reminding us that peace begins with the choices we make every day.&rdquo;

July 7 is World Chocolate Day, celebrating the day chocolate was introduced to Europe in 1550. Findings from Hayes Lavis, a curator with the Smithsonian&rsquo;s National Museum of the American Indian, indicate that the Olmec people of Mesoamerica may have used fermented, roasted, and ground cacao beans to create a bitter ceremonial drink back in 1500 B.C. Historians are quick to point out the true origin of chocolate is debated, however, due to the lack of written ancient documentation.
Fast forwarding to the late 1930s in America, Ruth Graves Wakefield is credited for inventing the chocolate chip cookie. As a dietician and food lecturer, Wakefield enjoyed experimenting in the kitchen of the Toll House Inn that she operated with her husband in Whitman, Massachusetts. Records indicate Wakefield was perfecting a butterscotch nut cookie and decided to add chocolate to the dough. When she realized she didn&rsquo;t have any standard baking chocolate, she used an ice pick to chop up pieces of a semi-sweet chocolate bar Andrew Nestle gave her. Diners at the inn enjoyed the Toll House chocolate crunch cookie so much that it led to Nestle manufacturing chocolate in a morsel form in 1940. The company also made a deal with Wakefield to print her cookie recipe on its chocolate chip packages.
Today, there are an estimated 200 registered chocolate shops in New York, indicating the confection remains a popular treat.
Other fun facts about chocolate are listed below.
The Aztecs and Mayans used cacao beans as currency.
Theobromine and phenylethylamine found in chocolate trigger the brain&rsquo;s pleasure centers, indicating chocolate may elevate a person&rsquo;s mood.
Dark chocolate contains antioxidants that have been shown to have cardiovascular health benefits.
In 1847, U.S. Fry &amp; Sons, a British chocolatier, created the first commercial eating chocolate bar.
In 1900, Milton S. Hershey of America manufactured the Hershey Milk Chocolate Bar.
In 1909, Milton Hershey and his wife Catherine founded the Milton Hershey School for orphaned and underprivileged children. The school still operates today, serving children from low-income families.

Attorney Ryan Besinque of <a href="https://www.besinquelaw.com/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">The Law Office of Ryan Besinque</a> has published an article examining the new kinds of clauses New York couples are asking for in their prenuptial agreements, from pet custody provisions to embryo clauses to rules for dividing cryptocurrency.

The article, drawn from the firm's day-to-day work in Manhattan family law, looks at how modern life has reshaped what a marital agreement needs to cover. <a href="https://www.besinquelaw.com/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">NYC Divorce Attorneys</a> at the firm note that requests once considered unusual have become routine, and the piece walks readers through what <a href="https://www.ny.gov/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">NYC</a> law actually permits. It explains, for example, that a prenuptial agreement can address a pet only when the animal already lived with one or both partners before the marriage, and that a future pet generally cannot be assigned in advance.

A significant portion of the article addresses reproductive property clauses, an area where <a href="https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=1l3GAzFJhMMyiTOsBvGHX-DhS4-aH2SI&amp;usp=sharing" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">NYC</a> Divorce Attorneys are seeing rising interest. The piece describes how an embryo clause can establish what happens to stored embryos in the event of divorce or death, who is responsible for storage fees, and how legal parenthood is handled. It notes that this planning has become more important as some state laws move toward assigning embryos a form of personhood status, making silence on the issue risky.

The article also covers cryptocurrency and digital assets, which have complicated the long-standing requirement of full financial disclosure. <a href="https://topicgate.com/450/legal/divorce-attorneys/10859/NYC-Divorce-Attorneys-The-Law-Office-of-Ryan-Besinque.html" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">NYC Divorce Attorneys</a> at the firm point out that because digital holdings can be moved quickly and valued unpredictably, they have become a frequent flashpoint in disputes over hidden assets and equitable distribution. The firm explains how a clearly drafted agreement identifying existing digital assets as separate property can spare a couple an expensive fight later.

"The couples asking about pet clauses and embryo provisions are not planning for failure," said Ryan Besinque. "They are having hard conversations early, when both partners are calm, rather than during the strain of a divorce. That is a healthier way to approach marriage."

The article further discusses how social media posts and text messages increasingly surface as evidence in contested divorce and custody matters, cautioning readers to be thoughtful about their online activity once a case is underway. Throughout, the firm emphasizes that a prenuptial agreement still cannot override the best interests of the child, so custody and child support remain outside its reach.

Besinque explained that the goal of the article is to help New York couples understand their options before a crisis arises, so they can make informed decisions with clear expectations from the start.

NYC Divorce Attorneys Near Me Publishes Article on Modern Prenup Clauses in New York

<a href="https://divorcelawfirmnyc.com/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">Divorce Lawyer NY</a> Juan Luciano of <a href="https://divorcelawfirmnyc.com/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">Juan Luciano Divorce Lawyer</a> has published an article examining how New York courts handle divorces when the marriage was originally formed in another state or country, and why residency, rather than the wedding location, controls a couple's ability to file.

The article addresses a question that confuses many New York City residents who assume that a marriage performed elsewhere either prevents or complicates a divorce here. As the Divorce Lawyer <a href="https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=1UMzh5yBjDej3z9W8VvjGTIGiy8e8Mkc&amp;usp=sharing" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">NY</a> explains in the piece, New York recognizes valid marriages performed in other states and countries, so the location of the ceremony almost never blocks a case. What governs instead is whether one of the residency paths under New York Domestic Relations Law &sect; 230 is satisfied before filing. The article walks readers through all five residency options, including the two-year path that serves people whose entire marital history occurred outside New York.

Beyond residency, the <a href="https://topicgate.com/450/legal/divorce-attorneys/10857/Divorce-Lawyer-NY-Juan-Luciano-Divorce-Lawyer.html" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">Divorce Lawyer NY</a> article explains how an out-of-state marriage interacts with the substantive parts of a New York case. It covers equitable distribution of marital property under DRL &sect; 236(B), the division of pensions and retirement accounts using the Majauskas formula and a Qualified Domestic Relations Order, spousal maintenance calculations, and child custody decisions made under the best interests of the child standard. The article gives particular attention to assets and income that originated in another state, and to the proof required when one spouse challenges the other's New York residency.

"Where you married is part of your history, but where you live decides where your divorce happens," said Juan Luciano, the Divorce Lawyer <a href="https://www.ny.gov/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">NY</a> behind the article. "Most people are relieved to learn that an out-of-state wedding does not trap them or force them back to another state. The residency rules under DRL &sect; 230 are very manageable once you understand them, and getting that threshold right at the start protects everything that comes afterward."

The article also outlines the practical evidence that establishes residency, such as a lease, a New York tax return, a state driver's license, and utility records, and explains why that documentation matters most when residency is contested. Luciano notes that addressing the residency question early keeps a case from being dismissed and allows the parties to focus on resolving property, support, and custody efficiently. The firm intends the article as a clear, plain-language resource for New York City families weighing their options.

Manhattan's Oldest House Kicks Off Its America250 Celebrations by Bringing Its Little-Known Tavern History to Life
Step into eighteenth-century New York as the Morris-Jumel Mansion transforms its grounds into an immersive evening inspired by its historic tavern past.
NEW YORK, NY (July 1, 2026) - As communities across the country commemorate the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States, the Morris-Jumel Mansion is bringing one of its most surprising chapters back to life. On Saturday, July 25, Manhattan's oldest surviving residence will host Tavern Night, an after-hours fundraiser inspired by the years when the historic house operated as a tavern following the American Revolution.
From 6:00 to 9:00 p.m., guests will step into an evening inspired by late eighteenth-century New York, complete with live tavern music, colonial games, unlimited alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, local food pop-ups, and interactive experiences that bring the Mansion's remarkable history as a tavern back to life.
Following the Revolutionary War, the Morris-Jumel Mansion operated as a tavern, inn, and stagecoach stop between approximately 1783 and 1810, welcoming travelers journeying through northern Manhattan. Among its most distinguished patrons was President George Washington, who returned to dine at the property in both 1789 and 1790, giving this New York tavern an extraordinary place in American history.
Today, Tavern Night invites visitors to experience that forgotten chapter firsthand while supporting one of New York City's most significant Revolutionary-era landmarks. Proceeds directly benefit the Morris-Jumel Mansion's exhibitions, educational programming, and ongoing preservation efforts.
Guests will enjoy offerings from a curated lineup of local partners, including Aaron Burr Cidery, Other Half Brewing Co., The Wandering Shuckers Co., Charles Pan-Fried Chicken, Buunni Coffee, and additional community partners. The evening will also feature performances by musicians Regan Hicks and Lou Barker, whose traditional tavern songs and fiddle music recreate the lively atmosphere of eighteenth-century New York.
Interest in this year's event has been strong, with VIP tickets selling out weeks in advance. General Admission tickets remain available while supplies last.
"The Morris-Jumel Mansion has always been a place where history happened, but one of the most fascinating chapters in its story is often unknown," said Danielle Gaita, Acting Director of Education, Public Programs, and Visitor Services. "After serving as George Washington's headquarters during the Revolutionary War, the Mansion became a tavern where travelers gathered to eat, drink, exchange ideas, and celebrate. Tavern Night brings that history back to life in a way that's exciting - whether you're a lifelong history enthusiast or simply looking for one of New York City's most unique summer experiences. Every ticket sold also helps preserve this extraordinary landmark and ensures its stories continue to inspire future generations."

PTSD Awareness Month provides an opportunity to share research and resources related to this mental health challenge that affects an estimated 1 of every 20 Americans.

Experiencing, witnessing, and learning about life-threatening or deeply distressing events can result in PTSD or post-traumatic stress disorder. (Source: PubMed Central)

These traumatic events can include interpersonal violence, combat and military exposure, serious accidents, natural and human-caused disasters, sudden or violent loss, and medical trauma. Interpersonal violence can include domestic abuse, child abuse, physical assault, and sexual assault. Violence can include emotional and verbal abuse.

Symptoms of PTSD fall into four categories: reliving or re-experiencing the traumatic event, avoiding things that remind you of the traumatic event, having more negative thoughts and feelings than before the traumatic event, and feeling on edge or &ldquo;keyed up&rdquo; that&rsquo;s also referred to as hyperarousal. (Source: National Center for PTSD)

About 13 million Americans or 5% of the population suffer from PTSD. (Source: U.S. Dept. of Veteran Affairs)

PTSD is more common in high-risk groups that include military veterans and first responders. (Source: Armed Forces Benefit Association)

Following the Vietnam War, the American Psychiatric Association formally recognized PTSD in 1980. Formerly, the anxiety disorder was referred to as combat fatigue, shell shock, gross stress reaction, transient situational disorder, and other terms.

Several well-known public figures have openly talked about their own PTSD journeys and advocated for others experiencing the aftermath of trauma exposure: Jason Kander, Whoopi Goldberg, Audie Murphy, Ariana Grande, Oprah Winfrey, Lady Gaga, Darrell Hammond, and Mariska Hargitay.

There are many resources to help individuals contending with PTSD, as listed below.

joined Kostelanetz after more than 30 years of federal and state trial 
practice, including prosecuting tax and white-collar crime. Her practice
 at Kostelanetz focuses on representing clients in state and federal 
civil tax controversies, defending clients in government investigations,
 including in criminal tax and white-collar matters, and against state 
and federal criminal charges. Her practice includes conducting internal 
investigations, representing legal and tax professionals and their firms
 in license and regulatory matters, and complex civil and criminal 
litigation.
Karen
 most recently served at the Department of Justice as the Acting 
Assistant Attorney General and delegated component head of the Tax

criminal tax matters assigned to the Justice Department throughout the 
country, and more than 300 trial and appellate attorneys.

Instead of feeling hopeless, will you dare learn the way out?An in-person Talk +&nbsp;Q&amp;A with revolutionary leader Sunsara Taylor
250 years ago the Declaration of Independence declared “all men are created equal.”Yet the whole history of this country proves that there can not be equality for all under this system.Today, the Fascist Trump Regime unleashes genocidal white supremacy, terror against immigrants, and hatred against women and trans people. Trump shreds rights and imposes an even more brutal, terroristic form of rule.Yet it is possible to meet people's needs everywhere without savage inequalities and exploitation. It is possible to move beyond war and care for the Earth.<h3>THE SCIENTIFIC TRUTH:&nbsp;</h3><h3>All these horrors flow from THE SYSTEM OF CAPITALISM-IMPERIALISM.&nbsp;</h3><h3>This system cannot be reformed.&nbsp;</h3><h3>It must be overthrown through&nbsp;</h3><h3>a REAL REVOLUTION.</h3>Relying on the Democratic Party is a loser. They are part of the problem! Electing “progressives” within this same system is meaningless.Humanity needs REVOLUTION and REAL SOCIALISM – a radically different economic and political system, and a transition to a communist world free of all exploitation and oppression.You've been told to stay away from COMMUNISM.NO! Past revolutions brought liberating transformations to hundreds of millions. Not surprisingly, these first revolutions were also marked by shortcomings and errors.Through decades of work and struggle, Bob Avakian (BA) has scientifically sifted through this rich experience, advanced beyond it, and brought this together with advances in other fields to forge the new communism, a whole new framework for the emancipation of humanity. BA has written the <a target="_blank" href="https://lafqp7bab.cc.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0015LYRKfy5t9kZ4M_tB053qV9rSVLwqBQztHI2q9CMc1MnoiAX7fxEmWJeLr1mHCZ2p4iT2tPz2pE1LmpRCRXBjbtdmSPfqLKKgWZwvIeGHUFJLE91vdZ0s9FwbZxGRgAIe52HH06qEqLScAyT5YeLei7ez2vATrkfJPnLOVcnKqffJGHHPlPdHXxFmq0YnKnvjRdEuro7ymJ6_xV4u7QwIvvVI3Y3Ji3K6pDX2aWSOzh9A8_boOJEcg==&amp;c=oJN56n3epq109GTWL3x_R8fKNw5z_jJgD-r3Tj1NM00c6aIIiOVM6Q==&amp;ch=zuZHTYJdPnjFeIEr1RhI0j_na3QUllRfxHvU8gV6RzOakTHjos9y3Q==" rel="nofollow noopener">Constitution for the New Socialist Republic in North America</a>.

💭 Topic: “Everything You Know about Traditional Marriage is Wrong” 🎤 Lecturer: Azie Dungey 📆 Date: Wednesday, July 15th ⏰ Doors Open: 6:30PM 📍 Location: Midtown East (exact address provided in confirmation email) 🔗 🎟️ This is a ticketed event, get your tickets here: <a href="https://www.eventbrite.com/e/the-wisdom-bar-everything-you-know-about-traditional-marriage-is-wrong-tickets-1991417227535" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">https://www.eventbrite.com/e/the-wisdom-bar-everything-you-know-about-traditional-marriage-is-wrong-tickets-1991417227535</a>
What if "traditional marriage" isn't traditional at all? Turns out, the equal partnership we're advocating for in modern relationships? It’s actually more traditional than the gender roles we've come to associate with it — gender equity is the prototype. For much of human history, women were valued for their contributions as much as men, childcare was shared across the whole community, and the idea that two people alone should raise children and meet each other's every need simply did not exist. It was a series of shifts over the centuries that narrowed everything down to the two-person household we now take for granted. And within that shift, we lost something essential. Writer and cultural satirist Azie Dungey takes us on a journey through human history to reveal that our partnership ideals are closer to our ancient origins than the "traditional marriage" of 100 years ago — which, it turns out, was a blip.
Azie Dungey is a WGA-nominated writer for her work on Netflix’s Emmy-nominated comedy Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, and has been a writer on shows such as Harlem (Amazon Prime), Girls5Eva (Netflix), Rutherford Falls (NBC), and Sweetbitter (Starz). She is best known as writer and star of her critically- acclaimed YouTube series Ask A Slave, a satirical critique of race and gender with over 2.5 million views. For this series she was featured on NPR, BBC World, MSNBC, New York Magazine, and The Washington Post. A graduate of Tisch School of the Arts at NYU in drama and anthropology, she has been a visiting scholar to Yale, Brown University, Columbia, and was a Fellow-in- Residence at the Center for the Study of Democracy, St Mary’s College. Azie is African American and Pamunkey/Mattaponi (Virginia Tribes) and she is committed to confronting issues of race, history, and social injustice with grace, compassion, and humor.
We will explore:
<ul><li>The resistance, challenges, and social implications we face as we attempt to return gender equality back to its roots.</li><li>How hunter-gatherer societies define gender roles within marital partnerships and family system.</li><li>How traditional courtship roles centered the female desire, and women were considered the more sexually aggressive of the gender even into the age of antiquity</li><li>How the idea of the "nuclear family" (man, wife, children) developed only 150 years ago.</li></ul>
Agenda: 6:30pm – Doors open. Grab drinks and snacks before settling into a seat (first come first serve!) 6:50pm – Host welcomes and intros 7:00pm – Lecture begins 8:00pm – Q&amp;A plus dedicated 1-on-1 time with the speaker. Grab another drink and chat about your thoughts with other attendees. 8:30pm – Event concludes
🤝 You'll enjoy this if you're someone who:
<ul><li>loves Lectures on Tap or social lectures of any kind...think Ted Talks in bars</li><li>likes meeting new people and learning new things</li><li>loves history, literature, art, re-examining events, or niche internet rabbit holes</li><li>wants try something different for their next casual night out, why not? 🍻🤓💭</li></ul>

92NY

Brian Tyler Cohen doesn’t just comment on politics — he dissects the machinery behind it.
Now the #1 New York Times bestselling author, MSNBC contributor, and creator of one of the most-watched independent political platforms in the country comes to 92NY to discuss his new book, The Day After: How to Wield Power in a Post-Trump World.
A leading progressive voice in digital media, Cohen has built a following of millions by translating the chaos of the political moment into clear, unsparing analysis. In The Day After, he turns from diagnosis to prescription, offering his own argument for how progressives should think about power, why he believes the Democrats have too often failed to use it effectively, and what he sees as the stakes for American democracy in the years ahead.
Part political playbook, part manifesto, the book lays out Cohen’s views on the structural fights shaping the future of American government, from the Supreme Court and executive authority to economic policy, voting rights, and climate action. His central question: not just how elections are won, but what governing should look like afterward.
Join Cohen for a timely conversation about the ideas driving his new book, his rise as one of the most influential independent political commentators of his generation, and how the new media landscape is transforming political influence and public debate.

The American Theatre of Actors Inc

Shangri-La-La: A Comedy Musical About Siegfried &amp; Roy
What happens when two ambitious young immigrants come to America, reinvent themselves in Las Vegas, charm the world, build a rhinestone kingdom at The Mirage, and then discover that even white tigers have limits?
Shangri-La-La is a fast-moving new comedy musical inspired by the rise of Siegfried &amp; Roy — with original songs, Vegas glamour, impossible dreams, outrageous costumes, magic, friendship, immigrant reinvention, Steve Wynn, Bugsy Siegel, and just enough tiger danger to keep everyone alert.
Written by Mike Meier &amp; Peter Giambalvo, the show is part showbiz fairy tale, part immigrant dream, part Vegas fever dream — and, yes, inspired by actual events. Unfortunately.
The New York performances are part of the Midtown International Theater Festival and will take place at the American Theatre of Actors in Midtown Manhattan.
Come for the music. Stay for the magic. Leave with a renewed respect for tigers.
Performances: July 25 and July 26, 2026 Venue: American Theatre of Actors, New York City Tickets: Available through the Midtown International Theater Festival (MITF)/Eventbrite /TheaterMania
