EMERSON & BLAKE
CHRISTMAS CABARET TOUR!
Emerson loves Christmas, Blake is…unconvinced. CHRISTMAS ACTUALLY is a two-man tour de force as they share their loves and hates of the holidays from classic holiday songs and medleys to the Christmas hits of today. From Barbra, Elvis and The Carpenters to Kacey Musgraves and Kelly Clarkson, there’s a bit of pop, a bit of rock, and a bit of something for everyone who loves the music of the holidays. And of course, an unnecessary mega-medley to finally decide once and for all – is Love Actually a Christmas movie?!

During lockdown, Emerson produced, hosted and acted in two livestream benefits for the Del Shores Foundation that raised almost $100,000 to benefit 25 non-profit theatre companies.
The first was a reading of Sordid Lives starring many of the original film cast including Leslie Jordan, Beth Grant, Bonnie Bedelia, Beau Bridges, Ann Walker, Rosemary & Newell Alexander, David Cowgill, and Debby Holiday.
Additional appearances by Alec Mapa, Carson Kressley, Patrika Darbo, David Steen, Lorna Scott and a video message from Olivia Newton-John.

The second was a 20th Anniversary Celebration of Del Shores' Southern Baptist Sissies with reunions of the entire 2012 film cast, Sissies from the first stage production, producers of productions around the country and live performances by Debby Holiday and Tony winner Levi Kreis.
