A SWINGIN' CHRISTMAS: The Holiday Music Of Tony Bennett Comes to City Theater
Performances run Dec 5th-21st.
City Theater is celebrating the holiday season Dec 5th-21st with the music of the legendary American pop and jazz singer Tony Bennett. A Swingin' Christmas is a jazzy new holiday revue. Audiences will fall in love with the songs of the season intermingled with his top 40 hits, torch songs, film scores, all the way to his now-infamous Duets series, which introduced him to a whole new generation of listeners.
A Swingin' Christmas promises to be an unforgettable journey through snowy New York City and features 18 classic holiday tunes plus the standards that made Bennett famous, like "I Can't Give You Anything but Love," "With Plenty of Money and You," "The Best Is Yet to Come," "I Wanna Be Around," "The Good Life," "Rags To Riches," and his signature "I Left My Heart In San Francisco."
At a time of year when theater goers think they have seen it all, A Swingin' Christmas promises to be that new favorite that rings in the holiday season with classics from the Great American Songbook!
The amazing singers that are bringing A Swingin' Christmas to life include City Theater favorites Kristen Gilhooly, Curran Grant, Rebecca Rinaldi and Owen White. You don't want to miss the smooth blend of their timeless vocals.
