The newest edition of Hope for the Holidays – The Wintry Mix Edition! plays at Don’t Tell Mama at 3 PM on Sunday, December 3. Award-winning vocalist and storyteller Doris Dear, America’s Perfect Housewife will make a special guest appearance. Music Director is Eden Casteel
Set somewhere in the year 1962, in an imaginary television studio, clueless TV hostess Hope Henderson (Jo Brisbane, who conceived nd wrote the show) presents her cabaret crew of characters including: Misty Tinsel (Eden Casteel); the Sugar Sisters – Candy (Ashley LaCroix) and Taffy (Jane Loutzenhiser); along with their shared love, Binaca the Bartender (Jay Stewart). It’s a love quadrangle and Santa saves the day, as he always does. Holiday tunes both familiar and obscure, both heartfelt and irreverent, are sung by the questionable quintet.
Hope for the Holidays is a satire and revue of the holiday season, spoofing television of the day, wrapped in a glimmery package with spot-on renditions of ’60s-era holiday songs.
Cover charge is $20 with a $20 food/drink minimum, cash only. For details and tickets, visit www.donttellmamanyc.com
Don’t Tell Mama is located at 343 W. 46th St., NYC
