MusicalFare Theatre Presents THE HOLIDAY GUYS

MusicalFare Theatre is set to present a special holiday event for two performances only, 12/21, 12/22: THE HOLIDAY GUYS starring Broadway actors Jeffry Denman and Marc Kudisch.

Mr. Denman has been nominated for the Drama Desk, Astaire Award, IRNE (two time winner) and the Lucille Lortel Award.

In 2009, Jeffry Denman and Marc Kudisch teamed up to create THE HOLIDAY GUYS, an evening of holiday flavored, comedy-song-and-dance. One man (Denman) celebrates Christmas while the other (Kudisch) celebrates Hannukah. Their unique and witty perspectives provide a fantastic night of music and merriment you won’t see anywhere else! “Bless you, Holiday Guys Jeffry Denman and Marc Kudisch…for providing us with a warm and winning (holiday) show…” - New Jersey Star Ledger/Theatremania.com
