Rehearsals
So I began laying out the concert today. We've got some great tunes planned.
It's a hard process because there are so many great songs to sing from the Holidays and choosing the line-up is no easy task.
I have indeed been thinking about Ave Maria. Beautiful song.
Recording this concert in any way, is unfortunately not allowed in the venue. I am planning to record a Christmas CD and this concert will be a template for that recording.
Funny, every year I think, geez I need to get on that Christmas CD but every year I'm so busy with other shows that the timing is impossible. So, we're planning to make a go of one in the New Year, for next year. :)
The concert is going to be very simple, just me and a piano. Jeremy Roberts is musical directing for me and I'm incredibly lucky that he's available.
Glad you guys like the Poster. We should have some available at Sardi's.
And by the way, I totally understand the economic crunch. That's why we decided to price our tickets the way we did. You can do a $25 bar seating ticket with the $25 minimum and you basically get dinner and a show for $50. Of course you can always do the $45 seat or premium seat for $60 each with a $25 minimum.

Whatever works for you guys works for me. My goal is to make this show a relaxed and fun environment. That's what the holidays are to me.

Evan and I are so glad you are doing this holiday concert. We need our James Barbour "fix". LOL.
It should be an awesome time for all because you are an awesome
performer.

Will you mingle with the audience after the performances? It would be awesome to have photo op and to just chat about the musical theatre field with you since Im going to college for that.
I CAN'T WAIT!!!!
I can also see you singing MOON RIVER..although not a Broadway Song...it is SO very haunting...or my favorite Broadway song for a man: This Nearly Was Mine...I could see you SOARING on that song...blowing it away!!
So many of us are excited. That's great. I think its so important to have an event to anticipate over the holiday season. A ski trip. A fire-lit Christmas Eve gift exchange. An ice skating date. A cookie exchange party. A sled-and-drink-cocoa day. A holiday concert...
I wrote about the holiday-anticipation-effect on my healthy.happy.life. blog. And I of course told everyone to hurry and get tickets to your concert. Because it is a great event to anticipate.
I agree, Ave Maria is a beautiful song. I would love to here that song. Other than a Christmas CD what are your plans for next year.

I'm gathering a passle of folks to come experience you at Sardi's -- while also continuing to keep toes crossed for a TALE cast album despite the odds.
