Award-winning director Greg Ganakas (Izzo Goes to Broadway) returns from the 2010 sold-out A Christmas Cabaret with a new celebration of the holiday season featuring Christmas standards and more musical memories including jazz, pop, Broadway and cabaret show tunes.

These seasoned actors are joining a spectacular show that features, an onstage show band, festive sing-a-longs and special guests, such as Santa Sparty and the lovely Lupe Izzo.
