In the spirit of old-fashioned Christmas variety specials, Gettin' on the Good List explores the music, memories, complexities, and joys of the Christmas season. Reichard will be joined by surprise guests - New York City personalities and Broadway stars - for a fully-realized Christmas extravaganza. He will be singing the hit songs of artists such as Bing Crosby, George Gershwin, Coldplay, Alicia Keys, and Paul Williams as he tries to get himself off this year's Naughty List! Join Daniel, Mrs. Claus, and even Santa himself on a journey to discover why we need Christmas in difficult times like these!
The evening promises to be very funny, heartwarming, and at times, a little outrageous!
Gettin' on the Good List is directed by Peter Gregus (Broadway's Jersey Boys); written by Mark Noonan, Christopher Spaulding, and Daniel Reichard; & Music Direction and Arrangements by Eric Svejcar.Tickets available on SmartTix (www.smarttix.com).
