The most beloved musical of all time, Lerner & Loewe’s "My Fair Lady" returns to Broadway in a lavish new production from Lincoln Center Theater, the theater that brought you the Tony-winning revivals of "South Pacific" and " The King and I." Directed by Tony winner Bartlett Sher, the stellar cast, led by Harry Hadden-Paton ("Henry Higgins"), tells the story of Eliza Doolittle, a young Cockney flower seller, and Higgins, a linguistics professor who is determined to transform her into his idea of a “proper lady.” But who is really being transformed?

Where are we headed? What are we consuming, how is it affecting us and why does everything feel so bad and weird sometimes? These are some of the questions posed on Ruban Nielson's fourth album as Unknown Mortal Orchestra, "Sex & Food." The album is delightfully shapeshifting and filters these real-deal serious themes through a vibrant sonic lens that spans battered drum-machine funk, doomy and thrashing rock and pink-hued psychedelic disco.

American diplomacy is under siege. Offices across the State Department sit empty, while abroad the military-industrial complex has assumed the work once undertaken by peacemakers. We’re becoming a nation that shoots first and asks questions later. In an astonishing account ranging from Washington, D.C., to Afghanistan, Pakistan, and North Korea in the years since 9/11, acclaimed journalist and former diplomat Ronan Farrow illuminates one of the most consequential and poorly understood changes in American history. His firsthand experience in the State Department affords a personal look at some of the last standard-bearers of traditional statecraft, including Richard Holbrooke, who made peace in Bosnia and died trying to do so in Afghanistan. Farrow’s narrative is richly informed by interviews with warlords, whistleblowers, and policymakers, from Henry Kissinger to Hillary Clinton. Diplomacy, Farrow argues, has declined after decades of political cowardice, short-sightedness, and outright malice―but it may just offer America a way out of a world at war. Join Farrow and Huff Post Editor-In-Chief Lydia Polgreen as they discuss "War on Peace: The End of Diplomacy and the Decline of American Influence" at BUILD.

"Golden" is Kylie Minogue’s first studio album in four years, and her fourteenth studio album in a record-breaking career. The album was mainly recorded in Nashville, which was a first for Kylie, a fact which couldn’t help but inform the sound – albeit in Kylie’s superlative pop style. This record is one of Kylie’s most personal to date – with every song on Golden co-written by Minogue.

Elephant rescues in Thailand are rare, unpredictable and often life-threatening. After waiting 2.5 years, actor/director Ashley Bell and a team of elephant rescuers led by world-renowned Asian elephant conservationist and TIME Magazine's Hero of Asia, Lek Chailert, embark on a daring mission 480 miles across Thailand to rescue Noi Na, a 70-year old partially blind trekking elephant and bring her to freedom. "Love & Bananas" aims to ignite a new way of thinking about this species and shows what can be done to prevent the extinction of Asian elephants. Watch Bell, Chailert, producer John McCarthy & Director of photography and Executive Producer Roddy Tabatabai as they discuss the documentary.

Priyanka Chopra is a multifaceted personality and one of the most recognized and applauded talents in the world. Her foray into the entertainment industry began at the age of 17 when she won Miss India and went on to win Miss World the following year, a title that catapulted her to international stardom. Chopra has earned popular and critical acclaim as Alex Parrish on ABC’s hit drama “Quantico,” making history as the first Indian actor to star as the lead of a TV drama series. She joined BUILD to talk about the new season of the series.

"Terminal 3" is an interactive, augmented-reality documentary that explores contemporary Muslim identities in the U.S. through the lens of an airport interrogation. As viewers put on the Hololens, they step into the uncanny to directly interrogate and determine the fate of the hologram passenger before them. These interrogations become strikingly personal encounters that only end when the participant decides if the hologram should be let into the country – or not. Check out creator/director Asad J. Malik discussing the project on the BUILD stage.

A year ago, Bea Miller embarked on her most ambitious and personal journey yet, and invited fans to accompany her every step of the way. That quest has now come full circle with her second album,"Aurora." Arriving just weeks after her 19th birthday, the album shows Miller’s remarkable evolution from a talented teenager into a mature and confident artist and woman. For Miller, the figure of Aurora, the goddess of dawn, signifies women’s empowerment – a timely topic that has special resonance for her right now – and the album represents the new beginning her process has allowed. BUILD hosted Miller to speak on her new album.

STARZ' “Vida” is a half-hour series focusing on two Mexican-American sisters (Mishel Prada & Melissa Barrera) from the Eastside of Los Angeles who couldn't be more different or distanced from each other. Circumstances force them to return to their old neighborhood, where they are confronted by the past and surprising truth about their mother’s identity.

Ballroom is where your wildest dreams can come true, but to receive validation, status and recognition: you must walk. "My House" is a dance competition show set in the gritty, energetic and unabashedly queer world of the ballroom season. Follow the lives of Tati 007, Alex Mugler, Jelani Mizrahi, Lolita Balenciaga and Relish Milan as they overcome personal challenges and prepare for competitions while ballroom legend Precious Ebony lays out the rules, the rivalries and all of the drama.
