Kicking-off the holiday season, Jill Senter & Co. return for a very special presentation of CELEBRATE THE MOMENT on Monday, November 25, 7:00 p.m. at The Laurie Beechman Theater, 407 West 42nd Street.

The holiday spirit fills the show with fun-filled numbers like We Are Family, Jill Senter's own Billboard topping hit Celebrate the Moment and the ever-touching tribute to Miss Senter's renowned uncle, David Kapralik, the former president of Columbia Records who discovered and helped build the careers of such legendary stars as Johnny Mathis, Tony Bennett, and Barbra Streisand, and co-authored some of the label's biggest hits.

Jill Senter is the singer/songwriter of "Celebrate the Moment", which became one of the top ten dance songs in Australia, and "Stronger Than Yesterday", which debuted at #33 on Billboard's Club Dance Songs chart in 2018. Her TV appearances include Law & Order, Two on the Town, and regional theatre in WEST SIDE STORY, CABARET, GODSPELL, JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR, and HAIR.
