EMERSON & BLAKE
CHRISTMAS CABARET TOUR!

2A.png

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?!

Additional appearances by Alec Mapa, Carson Kressley, Patrika Darbo, David Steen, Lorna Scott and a video message from Olivia Newton-John.
