Among the cars — including a 1957 Chevy Nomad and a 2017 Bugatti Chiron — three of the ice models will have interactive elements, allowing for a “test drive,” and all will be lit from within to light up at night.

MORE ON STAGE ON STAGE The 2015-2016 Dance Season is made possible by the Lear Corporation CARved Opening Friday, Jan. 15: Anomalia, a stop-action animated film directed and written by Charlie Kaufman, 57, is about Michael Stone, a husband and father who is crippled by the mundanity of his life. On a business trip, Stone checks into a hotel and meets Lisa (voiced by Jennifer Jason Leigh, 53), who may or may not be the love of his love. Much different are the action films The 5th Wave and 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi. Like the Hunger Games series, Wave is another film based on a young-adult novel about a Dystopian future. This time, the world is suffering from a series of attacks by “the others,” and Cassie, our young heroine, is on the run with her young brother — hoping to survive the lethal “5th wave.” Liev Schreiber, 48, co-stars as the nasty com- mander of a refugee camp who may not be what he seems. Meanwhile, there is true horror depicted in Benghazi, which purports to tell us the real story of the 2012 attack on the American consulate in Bengazi, Libya. It’s directed by Michael Kaufman Kazinsky Bay, 50, best known for frothy, fantasy fare like Transformers. NEW ON TV As you may have heard, Crackle (on web, Roku, etc.) has released (Dec. 30) a new season of the Jerry Seinfeld series Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee — and his first guest is President Obama. During the episode, called “Just Tell Him You’re the President,” the two discuss fame, golfing with Larry David and, says the president, how the comedian might have made a “Jewish version of Citizen Kane.” Seinfeld, 61, played four sold out performances in Tel Aviv on Dec. 20-21. A detailed account by an American audi- ence member has this gem: “He did drop some Israel-related humor, saying in one spot-on joke that Israelis have two answers to any question: ‘no problem’ or ‘that’s impossible.’”
