'Tis the Season
November 25, 2007 - So I've been getting a lot of questions about our upcoming Holiday Cabaret ("It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year?" on December 14th at 8pm) so I thought I'd tell you a little more about what you can expect at this festive event. The evening is going to informal with plenty of opportunity to chat with the other guests as well as the artists and to enjoy delicious holiday nibbles and both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. The musical element will consist of five themed sets of songs and will conclude with a carol sing-along. Don't worry, I'm not nearly as critical of audience participation as I am of auditioners so in the words of Mama Rose "Sing out, Louise!"
Here's a brief summary of the sets:
Set 1 ("Signs of the Season") will include such classics as "It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas" and "Silver Bells" as well as a rewrite of "My Favorite Things" entitle "These are a few of my Holiday gigs" and the nostalgic "Christmastime is Here" from A Charlie Brown Christmas.
Set 2 ("Holiday Blues") ranges from the timeless "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" to rarities such as "I remember" noteworthy as being the only Christmas lyric to have yet emerged from the brilliant pen of Stephen Sondheim.
Set 3 ("Christmas Traditions") sails through a broad swath of holiday repertoire from musical theatre ("We need a little Christmas") to holiday pop ("Santa Claus is coming to town") to cutting edge ("The Better Tree" a duet between a traditional live tree and a shiny aluminum one which gets a wee bit argumentative).
Set 4 ("Holiday Wishes and Dreams") is sure to elicit a big "awwwww" from the audience ("I'll be home for Christmas", "White Christmas") but might also elicit some naughty giggles with "My Simple Christmas Wish". Believe me, the wish is not for world peace.
Set 5 ("Holiday Romance") keeps the temperature rising with perennial snuggling favorites such as "Sleigh Ride" and "Baby, It's Cold Outside" as well as every Material Girl's favorite holiday song, "Santa Baby".
So, hope that all is not only informative but enticing. To purchase tickets give the box office a call at 410.547.7997. Life is a cabaret, old chum, so come to the cabaret. - John Bowen
