Get into the spirit of the season when Swingin' Santas Michael Barry, James Gardiner, Zachary Prince, and Stephen Gregory Smith belt, croon, and harmonize through refreshingly different holiday offerings for eight performances December 15 - 20 at Signature Theatre. Listening to holiday soul, jazz, blues, and boy band harmonies, patrons can take a break from the shopping frenzy and enjoy an unconventional musical take on the season, Signature style, while sipping choice wine, beer, or cocktails as well as chef-prepared fare right at their tables. Staged by Helen Hayes winner Matt Gardiner with music direction by Howard Breitbart, Signature's holiday cabaret performances have been a sold-out success for the last two seasons. Tickets for all shows are $33 and can be purchased by calling Ticketmaster at (703) 573-7328 or visiting www.signature-theatre.org. Doors open 30 minutes before each performance.
