Lacretta to Join Daniel Reichard at Birdland; GUIDE TO CHRISTMAS Will Play Three Night

Actress and singer Lacretta, who recently played Levora Verona in the Broadway musical, Disaster!, will join Daniel Reichard as the special guest star for his three-night engagement at Birdland Jazz Club in New York City on December 17th, 18th, and 19th.

"Daniel Reichard's Guide to Christmas," presented as part of the Broadway at Birdland series, is Reichard's ninth holiday concert in New York City. This year, Reichard, who originated the role of Bob Gaudio in Jersey Boys, shares his thoughts on how to experience a joyful and satisfying holiday season through nostalgic stories and beloved songs. The show promises to be both humorous and inspiring. Jesse Vargas serves as arranger and musical director for the seven-piece band. The show is written by Mark Noonan, Patrick McCollum, and Daniel Reichard.

Lacretta made her Broadway debut in Disaster!, and was most recently seen as Lou Newman in the world premier of Bill Russell and Janet Hood's musical, Unexpected Joy, at the Wellfleet Harbor Actors Theatre. Her national tour credits include The Book of Mormon and Buddy Holly. On television, she has been seen on "30 Rock" and "Law and Order: SVU."

Reichard states, "My holiday show is my pride and joy, and I am so thrilled that people come to it year after year. We have an extremely eclectic and inclusive program planned, including Broadway classics, Chanukah favorites, and Christmas standards."
