KENNY ROGERS CHRISTMAS & HITS Plays Fox Theatre

Kenny Rogers will bring his Signature Sound and 50+ years of stellar showmanship to select venues across America on his 29th Annual Kenny Rogers Christmas & Hits Tour, including a stop at Detroit's Fox Theatre on Thursday, Dec. 16 at 7:30 p.m.

Rogers' annual Christmas Tour has become tradition over the course of the artist's storied career. Always a highly anticipated treat for the whole family, the production will feature performances of heart warming traditional and original holiday songs from Rogers - many that can be found on his numerous holiday recordings - such as "Let It Snow," "White Christmas," and "O Holy Night" as only the Grammy Award-winning artist can deliver, with the help of local choirs and children chosen to be part of the production in each city. Rogers will also perform classics from his extraordinary career, such as "The Gambler," "Lady," "Islands In The Stream," "Lucille," and "Ruby, Don't Take Your Love To Town."
