San Diego Gay Men's Chorus HOLIDAY SPECTACULAR Returns to the Balboa Theatre, 12/13-14

The award-winning San Diego Gay Men's Chorus (SDGMC) is back with its celebrated annual HOLIDAY SPECTACULAR on Saturday, Dec. 13 at 8 p.m. and Sunday, Dec. 14 at 3 p.m. Once again, the show takes place at the festive Balboa Theatre in downtown San Diego.

"Our family-friendly show weaves the whimsical magic of traditional holiday songs together with the fun and frolic people have come to love and expect from our chorus," said SDGMC Artistic Director RC Haus. "We'll have lush, beautiful carols mixed in with familiar characters like Rudolph, the little drummer boy and many surprises!"

Among the show's many holiday favorites are enchanting and unique arrangements of "Carol of the Bells," "Variations on 'Jingle Bells'," "God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen" and a special spirited medley of snowy classics "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year," "Sleigh Ride" and "Let it Snow!" Rumor has it that snow may even fall on the Balboa Theatre stage!

There will be a wonderful tribute to the Jewish New Year with "Bashana Haba 'ah" and special appearances by our small ensemble, the "Mood Swings," and our new 40-voice Chamber Chorale-the only group of its kind in San Diego. We will also present the beautifully moving "Light a Candle," personally arranged by Haus.
