Seeing your favorite Broadway stars live on a Broadway stage may not be a reality in 2020, but that doesn't mean you can't enjoy them live from your screen. BroadwayWorld's Richard Ridge is keeping up with all of their latest projects on Backstage Live, bringing you in-depth interviews twice weekly.

Watch as he chats with Broadway favorite Norm Lewis, who streams his new concert, Christmastime Is Here, from 54 Below Premieres starting December 17 (8pm ET).

"We were so disappointed because we thought we weren't gonna get a chance to do my show [this year]. We've been doing it now for five years, and it's a tradition! I look forward to it. People were calling me Mr. Christmas," said Norm."We were trying to figure things out- maybe have another show like Seth [Rudetsky]'s, but Feinstein's/54 Below reached out and we jumped on it."

Fans can expect a mix of classic from Norm's Christmas repertoire. "We're jumping into this, making it fun. We're singing a lot of the songs from over the years and some new things as well that fit the holiday season, but also what we've been going through in 2020."

Norm Lewis and his holiday shows at Feinstein's/54 Below have become a New York City tradition over the past five years and this year will be no different as Broadway's charming and acclaimed leading man returns to perform a very special concert this year-online!

Each December, Norm's festive sold-out shows help ring in the season and audiences travel from across the globe to join in the hottest party in town. This year, we bring Norm and his holiday cheer direct from Broadway's Living Room into your home.

Norm will be joined by his swingin' band: Musical Director Joseph Joubert on keyboards, George Farmer on Upright & Electric Bass and Perry Cavari on Drums & Percussion. He and the boys will perform material from the past shows, songs from The Norm Lewis Christmas Album and some new songs he's excited to debut for you as he reflects on 2020.

Directed by Richard Jay-Alexander and Executive Produced by The Katz Company, the show will feature special guests: the extraordinary Sierra Boggess and Norm's cousin, the renowned Pastor Bobby Lewis, as well as a few surprises. So, cozy up with your favorite libations and snacks and let Norm bring you real joy in a year when we all need to have our spirits lifted!

54 Below Premieres is a new series of streamed concerts featuring cinematic, four-camera HD shoots to bring the glamour and intimacy of Broadway's Living Room direct to in-home screens. Filmed on the Feinstein's/54 Below iconic stage, these virtual performances will provide theater fans worldwide with new shows from their favorite Broadway stars.
