POP MUSIC

19. (^) See Bad Bunny
    A Latin urbano star.
    Barclays Center, December 6.
    Puerto Rican reggaeton crown prince Bad Bunny
    loves to complicate your holiday break. Last
    December, he released his highly anticipated, criti-
    cally acclaimed debut album X 100PRE two days
    before Christmas with no warning, stirring up holi-
    day feels with emotional jams like “Como Antes.” If
    you missed his triumphant Madison Square Gar-
    den debut in April, catch him in Brooklyn for hits
    like “Estamos Bien” and “Solo de Mi.” c.j.
    THEATER


20. (^) See Tina: The Tina
    Tu r n e r Mu s i c a l
    You need another hero.
    Lunt-Fontanne Theatre,
    205 West 46th Street.
    Adrienne Warren taps into Tina’s characteristic
    electric force and then lets it crackle out of her like
    lightning. In number after number—“Private
    Dancer,” “The Best,” “Proud Mary”—Warren and
    Tina’s impressive cast set the room on fire with the
    power of their voices. The musical’s book is a little
    paltry, but the music thoroughly overwhelms it,
    and Warren never flags, never tires, never even
