Sharon McNight Brings 'TWISTED XMAS' to Feinstein's at the Nikko Tonight

By:

Back by popular demand, Sharon McNight will present her acclaimed holiday show Twisted Xmas: A Druid's View of the Holidays at Feinstein's at the Nikko for two performances only - tonight, December 18 (8 p.m.) and Saturday, December 27 (8 p.m.). Twisted Xmas is an irreverent look at holiday traditions with an array of alternative holiday songs rather than the same old carols you've heard a hundred times. McNight's outrageous and wacky musical commentaries will get your holiday season started with lots of laughter. Tickets for Sharon McNight range in price from $25-$40 and are available now by calling 866.663.1063 or visiting www.ticketweb.com.

Located within Hotel Nikko (222 Mason Street, San Francisco), Feinstein's at the Nikko presents a wide range of entertainers from stage and screen all within an intimate 140-seat cabaret setting. There is a $20 food and beverage minimum per person inside the showroom which guests can use towards cocktails as well as a variety of small plates crafted exclusively for Feinstein's at the Nikko by Executive Chef Philippe Striffeler, through Restaurant Anzu. Cheese and dessert platters will also be available in the showroom.

Known for her wicked sense of humor and brassy renditions of blues, country and Broadway tunes, McNight made her Broadway debut in 1989 in Starmites creating the role of Diva, for which she received a Tony Award nomination for Best Leading Actress in a Musical, and was the recipient of the coveted Theatre World Award for Outstanding Broadway Debut, which was presented to her by Carol Channing. In San Francisco, McNight was voted Best Actress by the San Francisco Bay Area Critics' Circle for her performance as Dolly Levi in Hello Dolly. She has received five Cable Car Awards for San Francisco's Cabaret Entertainer of the Year, New York's MAC Award for Outstanding Female Vocalist and the New York Critics' Nightlife Award for Best Musical Comedy Cabaret Show for Ladies Compose Yourselves. Of her many accomplishments and performance awards, McNight is most proud of the money she has raised on behalf of AIDS related charities. McNight is featured in the international best-selling book, "And the Band Played On."

All seating at Feinstein's at the Nikko is cabaret style and available on a first-come, first-served basis within the section purchased. Guests who purchase the prix-fixe dinner at Restaurant Anzu will receive a complimentary section upgrade (subject to availability) and get to choose their exact seat locations within the upgraded section.

Guests of Feinstein's at the Nikko can enjoy a variety of food and beverage options before performances. Kanpai Lounge, located in Hotel Nikko's lobby, offers light cuisine, a full bar and specialty cocktails. Restaurant Anzu, Hotel Nikko's intimate restaurant located on the second floor, serves sustainable California cuisine enhanced with Asian flavors. Restaurant Anzu will also offer Feinstein's at the Nikko guests a special three-course prix-fixe dinner ($45 per person) prior to all performances. Reservations can be made by calling (415) 394-1100.
