Musical, celebration is the best way to usher, in the most wonderful, time of the year. We. Are going to be the only holiday. Show that's happening on Broadway, this year which, is exciting, there's, a lot of, great. Music I think we're doing about 25, songs, at. Solos, group numbers it's. Going. To be featuring myself, and, Candice, Glover and, Bianca Ryan as the main vocalists, and, yeah.

I'm Just looking forward to singing with them I think it's just gonna be one of those feel-good, like, takes, you right back to your childhood kind, of like memories of the holiday. It's, I mean all kinds of Christmas music winners. From The Voice American, Idol America's. Got Talent I'll, be hosting five. Of home for the holidays as lucky seven performers, are making their Broadway debuts, in the production they, told us why they're so excited to be taking the stage and why the show will definitely, get audiences in the spirit, I love. Entertaining. People, I like making people smile, and. The fact that I get to do that on Broadway over, the holidays is a dream come true I'm actually really looking forward to everything, coming together as well so the, story and, the songs and, you know like just this whole stage I'm just excited. To see it all the songs that were, chosen to be on the show are, gonna be fun. And you know that even though we have you know some slow numbers the majority, of the songs are about fun and they're uplifting, in their up-tempo and we're gonna get the audience dancing, and everything and that's probably my favorite part about it I do a little acting in the show I do, a couple of monologues I talk about my life in the past short, little bursts and then I sing some as well but not as wonderfully, as these kids do so. It's like it's almost like a competition, that, I'm just hoping I survive, you. Know singing. As I do along, with these contemporary, kids, is is. Something to be somewhat concerned about its original, it only runs for six weeks so I got your tickets now because it's gonna be something that that, really does take you home for the holidays it's definitely a family-oriented show so you, know bring your girlfriend and your boyfriend bring your husband and wife anything. Like your whole family it's really going to take you home for the holiday. For. 86, years the Christmas, Spectacular starring. The Radio City Rockettes, has been the quintessential, celebration, of holiday time in New York City we, recently headed to Radio City Music Hall to chat with Rockettes and the creative team but. What it takes to maintain this beloved classic and new, editions audiences, can look forward to this year. Well, I grew up coming to the show with my family every single year so I know it was a holiday tradition for, myself and for my family and, I know many people come every year to see the show and each, year you come it's a new experience it's something new especially, this year that we've added some. New technical elements, to the show it's really exciting and it's nothing, like you've ever seen before well each year we look, at the show very, carefully, and decide where, could we go it's it's a difficult challenge because you have such classic, numbers and you. Know such an audience that just loves what. They see so we're very careful about developing. New ideas and, introducing. New technologies, it has to be additive we need to keep growing our show the show has been running, since 1933, here, at the Music Hall and we. Always try to do something different every, single year, so people make it their holiday traditions, every year they bring their friends and family, and it's just such a cool, thing to be a part of someone's holiday tradition. Every year there's something for everyone anywhere, you sit in the house it feels like a brand new show there are so many things to look at and, I know every time that I get to watch the show myself I feel, like I'm, seeing something new every single time so it's a new experience and. It's just it's such a thrill and you can't see it anywhere else except here at Radio City every. Year the Christmas Spectacular undergoes, changes, that make it more and more eye popping, this, year the production boasts, colorful detailed projections, that are sure to wow audiences this. Year's show we've added an, immersive. Aspect, where we've now, project, over, 34,000. Square feet of our ceiling before we used to do just, the first third now, we're doing the entire ceiling I think they're just going to love.

The Magic you. Know we, add technology but it really is what I call theater magic we. Want them just to feel totally, engulfed. In the show and in the joy of Christmas it's. Definitely awesome especially, for us to being able to look out in the audience and, see those families and especially see those little kids when, Santa, comes out or they see the trains going on the ceiling and the Santa's everywhere to, see the joy on their faces and, to know that you're bringing that joy to so many people is really, wonderful for us. If. You're looking for a family-friendly show this holiday season make sure to get yourself two Millburn New Jersey, for the papermill Playhouse is production anny tony-winning. Comedic, genius Beth level is taking on the role of Miss Hannigan, while Broadway favorite Christopher zebra is playing Daddy Warbucks, and they are definitely having a great time with this classic show as we saw in a recent rehearsal I, think. It's a perfect show because, it's. It's. Really loving, and it's just like it like touches, everyone I. Just. Have. You I, actually. Called, my friend Marco be the director an artistic director papermill I said you're, doing Annie I'm not doing anything if you need a Warbucks, call. Me and he was like are, you serious I said yeah, he says I thought you should say no I was gonna ask you I was like really it's, like yeah I'll do it he says you gonna have to shave your head it's like let's do it I've played Miss Hannigan before it's been a while and it is literally. The, pair of shoes I like to slip on to, embrace, that. Evil comedy, twin, that lives inside me and needs to come out we're, having a great time I, said we're not supposed to talk to the dog because the dog needs to be focused but I stare, at the dog longingly, all day long, and the kids have such a wonderful energy and like they're so excited about it. It's. A lifting. Show with great music release Chris, Sieber and, a, dog. Christopher, zebra didn't just shave his head for the role of Daddy Warbucks he had the kids in the show do it that is until death level stepped in to show him how it's done this.

Is What Beth level did to me today, he. Did tell me that um like the first day of rehearsal I was like you know shave your head and he's like yeah, I'm gonna let the a nice to it and I was like all right more power to you and it's brave but, it looks great it looks awesome I was. But. Then once we started, like at first, I was like a little bit timid but then as it's, exactly, fun as I did it it was so, amazing and it was so fun and also shout out to Beth level she was so good at shaving his hair and I was like how'd. He do that I, was like it's again I think she should open, a bar. Denne, denne denne identity. Tentative, then tomorrow. Tomorrow. I. Love ya. Tomorrow. Was a great afternoon. A. Satirical. Spin on dr. Seuss's How the Grinch Stole Christmas, Matthew Lombardo's, new off-broadway, show whose holiday stars. Leslie margarita is a middle-aged. Cindy-lou who now, living in a shoddy trailer, in the snowy hills of mount crumpet as she gets ready to host a Christmas Eve party for, her friends yes, we're not in Sue's Whoville, anymore, we recently spoke with Queen Leslie and the show's creators, about this festive, and far-out, comedy, oh. My. God broadway.com. Whose. Holiday, is the story of Cindy. Lou Who, grown-up. Cindy. Lou who from Whoville who. Is now living in the mountains in a trailer, we find out what happened to her. The Grinch max, the dog she's, an outcast from Whoville and you, find out why and. The, whole thing is in rhyme and, it's. Just me. As. The, show begins, she, takes the audience into, her confidence and. Explains. How she ended up in that trailer, as. She waits for her guests to arrive for a Christmas Eve party she's, throwing wrapped, in Lombardo's, now signature, blend of desperately, funny amusingly, profane, and secretly, sincere, the solo show follows Cindy, as she looks back on the faded night when she first met the Grinch in the unusual, turn of events her life has taken for the past 40, years I really, feel like people need this play because it's so funny and so irreverent, but it's also really it's also really heartfelt there's, like mmm, amazing. Kind, of like, holiday. Moments. But I feel like people should definitely come and spend time with Cindy Lou because she's a party. Girl and. What. Better way to, spend the holidays than with a party, a girl Cindy, Lou has a. Great. Sense of wonder, and hope, for the future and that things can turn out well, and that she can you, know make the changes in her life that she needs, to so, that she can carry forth you know and I think she has. In common with a lot of characters. That we loved in the theater I always, like to write women. Of a certain age, that are a little, up, and. I thought if anyone was going to be one of those women it, would be cindy-lou who if, you think about it she was two years old she wakes up she comes out of bed and she sees a green monster dressed, as Santa Claus shoving. A Christmas tree up the chimney and I thought this girl is gonna have problems and I'm gonna write it everyone. Watches those holiday, movies where families. And everything's, great but the reality, for, most people, is the holidays, are really. Tough to get through sometimes and this. Is such. An anecdote to if. You don't want something that's so. Everything's. Beautiful and sparkly, this is definitely, for you anyone, who wants to have a good time this holiday season and see something new and funny. With. A great amazing. Performance, she, comes to you whose holiday for, the kids and. You'll, never see the Grinch, the same way so I wouldn't. When.
