There will be fun facts and stories from The Grinch Who Stole Christmas (Madison Square Garden and three tours) and tales from her childhood including how getting a tree to fit in the living room the first try is an impossible dream.
Ms. Loar will be joined by her usual trio: Frank Ponzio-pianist, musical director and co-arranger; ubiquitous Tom Hubbard on upright bass; award winning Vito Lesczak on drums; and guest Scott Reeves on horn. Direction is by her long time director, Barry Kleinbort.
