Christine Pedi Opens Holly Jolly Christmas Folly on December 1
Do you hear what I hear? Patti's in Gypsy, Liza's at the Palace, Bab's is hosting a fundraiser, and longtime Forbidden Broadway diva Christine Pedi is lovingly lampooning them all and more starting MONDAY, DEC 1st in Christine Pedi'S HOLLY JOLLY CHRISTMAS FOLLY! Playing the Laurie Beechman Theater for the month of December, Christine will usher in the holiday season with her award winning comedic flair, spot on impressions, and songs of good cheer. From Roxie Hart's take on "Santa Clause is Coming to Town" to an impression filled "12 Divas of Christmas" audiences will fall on their knees with laughter, marvel at Christine's voice as big as the sea, and find comfort and joy in stories of Christmas past, present, and future! God bless her...every pun!
Well known in New York for her long association with Forbidden Broadway, Christine Pedi has earned a Drama Desk nomination, an LA Ovation Award, and has appeared in companies all over the world including LA, Tokyo, Singapore, Australia, and London's West End. She made her Broadway debut in the revival of Little Me and was most recently seen (and heard) in Talk Radio. Her work as a cabaret artist has earned her a MAC Award, a Backstage Bistro Award, a Nightlife Awards, and was named ShowBusiness Weekly's 2005 Best Female Cabaret Singer of the Year. Christine can be heard daily on Sirius Satellite Radio's "Broadway's Best" and TV audience's may recognize her as the dearly departed Mrs. Bobby Baccala from The Sopranos (he loved her so much he couldn't defrost her ziti!). She has performed for President Clinton (playing Senator Hillary Clinton), headlined the Queen Mary 2, appeared on the Rosie O'Donnell show, sang on NBC's Rockefeller Center Tree Lighting, and can be heard on many Forbidden Broadway cast recordings.
