Posted: 8/15/06 at 1:31pmI know it is the middle of August and way to soon to be thinking of Christmas. But I am in the process of putting together a Holiday Show and need some suggestions for Holiday music from Broadway and Film. The theme of the show is "Martini's & Mistletoe". Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Love it!

"Christmas Makes Me Cry" from Brooklyn: The Musical.
*snarky grin*
Suzanne: I never use catalogs. I'd rather go in the store and see all the salespeople groveling and sucking up to you.
Julia: Pardon me, I never knew they were so solicitous at the K-Mart.

Posted: 8/15/06 at 1:38pmDo Stay With Me from City of Angels, and use the alternate set of lyrics written for Nancy LaMott's Christmas CD - one of my favorite christmas songs, ever.
"I don't really get the ending,all i can go with is when after several months,Judith saw Pat sang,and later she kissed him on the toilet,after that the story back to where Pat went down from the stage after he'd sung,and he went to the italian lady.I just don't get it,what Judith exatcly meant when he kissed Pat that she had seen,and did Pat end up together with The Italian Lady?Please help me,thank u very much!"
Quote from someone on IMDB in reference to a movie he/she didn't understand. Such grammar!

If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

Martinis & Mistletoe suggests a certain classy, adult kind of evening.
Songs like Christmas Time Is Here from A Charlie Brown Christmas and the classic Christmas Santa Baby have a great Jazz feel that would support that title.
Other fun holiday-winter-Christmas songs:
Somewhere In My Memory from Home Alone
There's A Place Called Home & God Bless Us Everyone from A Christmas Carol (Madison Square Garden)
Sing A Christmas Carol, Christmas Children
& December the 25th from Scrooge
One More Sleep Til Christmas & It Feels Like Christmas from The Muppet Christmas Carol
Snow from White Christmas
There are literally hundred of good holiday songs. It's a matter of deciding what tone/theme you want the evening to have.

"Martinis & Mistletoe suggests a certain classy, adult kind of evening."
That is exactly what we are shooting for... We are pulling together some old Dean Martin, Bob Hope, Judy Garland Christmas shows for the banter. Last year we did a "G.I Holiday Jukebox" which was very stylized with music from the 40's. The audience loved it. Hoping to use the 50's and 60's for this one.
Guess I should have mentioned that tid-bit to start with =)

The Boston Pops does a number called "Merry Christmas!" from HOME ALONE II. It's great!
Can't you squeeze in "Christmas Shoes"?
