Chelsea Table+Stage presents Todd Almond in a concert celebrating his debut holiday album from Ghostlight Records, A Pony for Christmas, on Monday, December 13 at 7:00 PM. Almond is a songwriter and performer who can currently be seen as “Gideon Wolfe” on HBO Max’s “Gossip Girl” and on Broadway as “Elias Burke” in Conor McPherson and Bob Dylan’s Girl from the North Country. Betty Buckley, the Tony Award-winning Broadway legend, will be joining Almond as special guest vocalist. T
A Pony for Christmas is a folk-pop take on the classic holiday album, weaving personal original compositions with new versions of traditional carols and unexpected reworkings of pop songs. The recording combines folk, rock, pop and theater influences. Almond strove to include selections that aren’t “Christmas” songs per se, but say things like “thank you” (“Kind and Generous”), or “I miss my home” (“Welcome Home”) or “my childhood made me who I am” (a haunting mash-up of three Kate Bush compositions, “Hounds, Running, Clouds”). The originals on the album include “Moon Over Nebraska,” perhaps Almond’s most requested song.
Tickets are $32. Purchase tickets at chelseatableandstage.com
CHELSEA TABLE + STAGE is located at 152 West 26th Street (between Sixth and Seventh Avenues), downstairs inside the Hilton New York Fashion District.
