NORM LEWIS: THE BEST OF CHRISTMAS – DECEMBER 23 & 24 AT 7PM Broadway's answer to Santa Claus is coming back to 54 Below this holiday season. Norm Lewis returns for a 54 Below tradition he began a decade ago! It's the leading man's favorite time of year and to commemorate this special tenth year, he's calling the show Norm Lewis: The Best of Christmas, with hand-picked material "specially" by Norm, his musical director, Joseph Joubert, and his director, Richard Jay-Alexander. Culled from the star's ten years of holiday music, the show will include favorites requested by family, friends, and fans, and, of course, new material, too, with the kinds of surprises and fun only Mr. Lewis can deliver. The Broadway heartthrob has built an extraordinary rapport with his audiences over the years. He will lend his voice and humor to the evening and share stories to help make this season more joyful than usual. The auspicious accomplishment of these ten years of yuletide concerts will be commemorated, as only Norm can do it, in his very own inimitable style. You won't want to miss this year's special edition of music, mirth, and merriment, which will take you to the crossroads of Christmas and Broadway. It's the ideal way to ring in the holiday, truly making it "the most wonderful time of the year." Fan favorites Perry Cavari on percussion and drums and Dylan Shamat on electric and upright bass will be there, too, making sure that the music is as hot as it can get. For this performance, our regular menu will be offered alongside a special Christmas menu which features festive seasonal dishes. $106 cover charge (includes $11 in fees). $166.50 premium seating (includes $16.50 in fees). $25 food & beverage minimum. CHRISTINE PEDI: SNOW BIZNESS – DECEMBER 23 & 27 AT 9:30PM The performance on December 23 will also be livestreamed. Featuring the Twelve Divas of Christmas! All I want for Christmas is Barbra Streisand, Patti LuPone, Liza Minnelli, Julie Andrews, Carol Channing, and my favorite divas stuffed into one big Christmas stocking. Well, do you hear what I hear? Longtime SiriusXM RADIO personality & musical theater powerhouse Christine Pedi (Chicago, Forbidden Broadway, Newsical the Musical) conjures them up in her joyful and triumphant Snow Bizness. With a voice as big as the sea (and a tale as big as a kite) she ushers in the holiday season with her award winning comedic flair, spot on impressions and songs of good cheer. We may be in a recession, but let nothing you dismay, you'll find comfort and joy as you fall on your knees with laughter! God bless her...every pun. $45.50 cover charge (includes $5.50 in fees). $73 premium seating (includes $8 in fees). $25 food & beverage minimum. MELISSA ERRICO: 'TWAS THE NIGHT AFTER CHRISTMAS – A WINTER PARTY WITH BILLY STRITCH – DECEMBER 26 - 30 AT 7PM The performance on December 29 will also be livestreamed. Everyone sings a holiday show before Christmas – but only Melissa Errico would invent a new kind of show especially for the happy days after the holiday, when we finally get to relax, open our presents, play with the good toys, return the horrible sweaters, and generally kick back and enjoy ourselves without stress. 'Twas The Night After Christmas will be Melissa's special holiday party, and, in the company of the inimitable Billy Stritch, will truly be something different and especially joyous: a winter party between Christmas and New Year's for every kind of holiday-er. Winter light and winter pleasures will be their theme; Melissa will sing American songbook's Christmas and New Year's classics, of course, from Rodgers & Hammerstein's "My Favorite Things" to Frank Loesser's "What Are You Doing New Year's Eve?" ... but the beloved Broadway star of My Fair Lady, High Society, White Christmas, and more will also show off the inimitable storyteller style that has made her a favorite New York Times contributor. She'll spin a few tales throughout the evening– about why the greatest Christmas songs are always recorded in mid-July and why they've been mostly written by American Jewish songwriters – and she'll even offer some wicked new holiday themed parodies of songs by her beloved Stephen Sondheim. (What makes a mother lose her mind more than assembling kits from Ikea?) Join Melissa and Billy, an award-winning duo, as they sing St. Nick off the stage, celebrate the December sun and greet the ever-louder footsteps of the approach of the coming year in 'Twas The Night After Christmas. Featuring Ava Arkin (Express: A New Musical off-Broadway) on Dec 26. $84 cover charge (includes $9 in fees). $139 premium seating (includes $14 in fees) - $144.50 premium seating (includes $14.50 in fees). $25 food & beverage minimum.
