The Seattle Men’s Chorus is ringing in the holiday season with a milestone celebration — 45 years of inspiring performances and community connection.
The Chorus’ 45th annual holiday show, Ho Ho Ho: Seattle Men’s Chorus Holiday Show, is a spectacular blend of tradition and innovation, featuring festive classics, Christmas comedy, and a dizzying array of dancing Santas. Performances are now through December 21.
As one of the largest LGBTQIA+ choruses in the world, the Seattle Men’s Chorus continues to be a unifying voice and source of joy, making this anniversary season even more meaningful.
“The first holiday show was an act of bravery,” said Seattle Men’s Chorus Artistic Director Paul Caldwell. “The idea that 200 people being out on stage; that we could pull out all our proverbial pinkness and claim a place in this country? It was nothing short of revolutionary.”
This year’s fun-filled concert — with performances in Seattle, Tacoma and Everett — features songs including “Pink Christmas,” “Joy to the World,” “Santa’s My Boyfriend” and a new holiday version of “Holding Out for a Hero.”
As always, there’s no shortage of opportunities for audience participation at a Seattle Men’s Chorus holiday show. Audiences this year are invited to participate in the gayest sing-along ever with a medley including “Must Be Santa.”
“Our holiday concert is a celebration of joy, inclusivity, and the vibrant spirit of the season which breaks down stereotypes and binds us together in powerful ways,” said Seattle Men’s Chorus Executive Director Craig Coogan. “It’s the most fun you’ll have this holiday.”
Tickets are $39 to $99 (with special pricing for the abbreviated Kids’ Show) and available through the Seattle Men’s Chorus website at SeattleMensChorus.org.
