A main character from the TV comedy series “Glee” and several stars from Broadway’s “Wicked” will sing at The Cabaret this year.

Matthew Morrison, who played energetic glee club leader Mr. Schuester, will deliver a deeply personal show with “Rhythms and Revelations” in March and lead free masterclasses for more than 500 local high school students while he’s in Indianapolis. Fans of Broadway’s “Wicked” will recognize Norbert Leo Butz, Derek Klena and Patti Murin from the New York and touring shows.

The Cabaret, 924 N. Pennsylvania St., announced a 2025 winter-spring season that’s chock-full of Tony and Grammy award winners and star singer-songwriters who will share behind-the-scenes stories as they perform works that have been central to their personal and professional lives.

Ticket prices range from $25 to $150, with discounts for students and those ages 35 and under. Tickets are on sale now for Butz’s February show at thecabaret.org. The pre-sale for subscribers and donors who give $250 and more starts at 10 a.m. Jan. 9. General ticket sales begin at 10 a.m. Jan. 14.

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Indianapolis drivers fought through snowy conditions on many roads Monday after the city was hit with 7-10 inches of snow.

News 8 caught up with one of Indiana’s newest Hoosiers at a gas station on Monday evening, when he learned he had a flat tire after his first big snowstorm as a one-month resident of Indiana. Edwin Maldonado moved from Orlando, so the winter storm was quite the transition.

“It just kinda feels like the ‘Matrix’ when you’re driving in snow,” Maldonado said. “Everything is kinda moving in slow motion. I haven’t really experienced icy roads since I’ve been here. This is kinda the first time I’ve experienced really snowy conditions and then I have a flat tire, so that’s just the cherry on top of it all.”

Maldonado says the roads could have been better treated in some areas. “I feel like they’ve done a pretty good job with main roads but then going into neighborhoods, that are also frequently busy roads, they definitely could be plowing.”

Most city roads were bad Monday with just the main thoroughfares plowed.

The Indianapolis Department of Public Works says it has approximately 70 drivers working around the clock in 12-hour shifts.

Kyle Bloyd, chief communication officer for the Indianapolis Department of Public Works, said Monday, “The square mileage of Indianapolis is quite large, and we’re dealing with this wind as well. A driver can plow these thoroughfares and by the next time they come around their work has already been undone.”

The city has an interactive map showing which roads are being prioritized over others for plowing.

As the 2024-25 season officially comes to a close for the Indianapolis Colts, the team has wasted no time signing a couple of players to new extensions, along with inking some futures/reserves contracts.

According to a team release, the Colts have signed running back Tyler Goodson and linebacker Segun Olubi to one-year extensions.

Goodson will look to head into his third season with the Colts in 2025. He finished his second year in Indianapolis with 32 carries for 153 rushing yards, 11 catches for 61 receiving yards, and brought in two total touchdowns in the process.

As for Olubi, he’s coming off his third season with Indianapolis primarily as a depth piece at linebacker. During 2024, he collected 12 combined tackles through the season, with a forced fumble and a fumble recovery, both coming during the Colts’ Week 7 win over the Miami Dolphins.
