Daniel Reichard, one of the original stars of Broadway's megahit JERSEY BOYS, returns to the New York City concert stage in his new show Daniel Reichard's Gettin' on the Good List at the Alvin Ailey Citigroup Theatre (405 West 55th Street).

Guest stars that will perform on various nights of the weekend will include Tony-Award-Winner Karen Ziemba (CURTAINS, CONTACT), Tony Nominee J. Robert Spencer (NEXT TO NORMAL, JERSEY BOYS), Shoshana Bean (WICKED), Tituss Burgess (THE LITTLE MERMAID, GUYS AND DOLLS), Cass Morgan (MEMPHIS), Tony Nominee Marc Kudisch (9 to 5) Nick Adams (A CHORUS LINE), Sara Schmidt (JERSEY BOYS), Betsy Wolfe (110 IN THE SHADE) with Robert Ousley as Santa Claus. Rachelle Rak and drag star Sweetie will alternate the role of Mrs. Claus.Mr. Reichard's wardrobe is provided by fashion designer Sergio Davila. Also featured in the evening are newcomers Emily Bottorff, Beth Kuhn, Paul Louis Lessard, and Michael Lowney, all graduates of the University of Michigan.

The evening is sponsored by Joseph Carr Handcrafted Fine Wines.

In the spirit of old-fashioned Christmas variety specials, Gettin' on the Good List explores the music, memories, complexities, and joys of the Christmas season. Reichard will be joined by surprise guests - New York City personalities and Broadway stars - for a fully-realized Christmas extravaganza. He will be singing the hit songs of artists such as Bing Crosby, George Gershwin, Coldplay, Alicia Keys, and Paul Williams as he tries to get himself off this year's Naughty List! Join Daniel, Mrs. Claus, and even Santa himself on a journey to discover why we need Christmas in difficult times like these!

The evening promises to be very funny, heartwarming, and at times, a little outrageous!

Gettin' on the Good List is directed by Peter Gregus (Broadway's Jersey Boys); written by Mark Noonan, Christopher Spaulding, and Daniel Reichard; & Music Direction and Arrangements by Eric Svejcar.
