On the seventh day of Christmas... a gift from Phil Spector.
The holidays are upon us and BroadwayWorld is continuing our favorite annual tradition of celebrating the holiday season with a Twelve Days of Christmas countdown. This year we are featuring some of our favorite members of the 2025 Broadway scene to share their most cherished holiday songs, films, and performances. This year's countdown is sponsored by The Artist, streaming now on the Network.
In the twilight of the Gilded Age an eccentric, failing tycoon (Mandy Patinkin) and his brilliant wife (Janet McTeer) host an ensemble of the era's biggest celebrities including Thomas Edison, Edgar Degas and Evelyn Nesbit. The gathering soon turns deadly. The Artist also stars Danny Huston, Patti LuPone, Hank Azaria, Clark Gregg, Zachary Quinto and more. Check out the series the New York Times calls "....Operatic in its passions and power plays."
There's something about Christopher Lowell and the holidays on Broadway that just go together. For the second season in a row, the stage and screen star is appearing on Broadway, this time in Marjorie Prime, running now at the Hayes Theater. On opening night, he told us about what music he relies on every Christmas.
"It's always the Phil Spector Christmas album, start to finish, is a banger," he told BroadwayWorld. "In terms of movies... I don't think you can top It's a Wonderful Life in terms of holiday movies. It's the best for a reason. Yep, it's toatlly perfect."
