Children's Entertainer Laurie Berkner To Perform Two Holiday Party Shows In Fairfield

Kids' music superstar Laurie Berkner invites families to share the spirit of the season with her at two festive holiday concerts on Saturday, November 23, at 11:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. at Sacred Heart Community Theatre, 1420 Post Rd., Fairfield, CT.

"I'm so excited to come to Fairfield for the winter holidays!” says Laurie Berkner. "It's my favorite way to celebrate the season — singing holiday songs while we march like dinosaurs, swim like goldfish, and jump like Harry the Chipmunk!"

Laurie's Fairfield shows will feature tunes from her holiday albums, A Laurie Berkner Christmas and Another Laurie Berkner Christmas, including original songs like "I Live Inside a Snowglobe (Shake It Up)" and traditional songs like "Deck the Halls" and "Holly Jolly Christmas." The rest of the program will be chock full of traditional and original holiday songs, including "Jingle Bells," "Candy Cane Jane," "The Dreidel Song," and more. Fans can also expect an array of Laurie's greatest hits, such as "We Are The Dinosaurs" and "Waiting for the Elevator," and to commemorate the 25th anniversary of her beloved third album, Victor Vito, she'll sing the title track. Kids should plan to bring their dancing shoes and a stuffed animal (for their heads), and Laurie hopes everyone will join in the holiday spirit and sing along!

Laurie Berkner's holiday shows have become a beloved seasonal tradition for many families, as essential as sleigh rides, snowmen, and hot cocoa by the fireside. Westchester Magazine enthused, "Laurie Berkner is considered a godsend by parents for being one of a handful of children's musicians that all members of the family can enjoy in equal measure. If your kids are climbing the walls waiting for Santa to arrive and think they'll burst before December 25, have them let off some steam seeing Berkner in concert."
