"Audiences will see Ruben and Clay journey through a fusion of holiday music and entertainment featuring lighthearted comedy, astounding versatility and, as always, Ruben and Clay's magnetic stage presence."
How does one live with oneself after writing crap like that?^

I never thought of Clay as versatile. Huh.

Actually no.The producers areRC Christmas LLC who did not produce HFTH"
Actually yes, RC Christmas LLC is an entity formed for this particular show --- not a person. Some of the principals are the same people as the HFTH producing team.

Of the 3 listed producers on Playbill.com, the only one with any credits other than this show is Jeffrey Chrzczon, who was a producer Home for the Holidays.

Sorry dear, you're confusing "producers" with "performers".

Actually, Jeffrey Chrzczon is a producer and was a producer for Home for the Holidays, but his company was the general manager for Mike Tyson: Undisputed Truth.

RC Christmas LLC is likely just the entity set up under which this production will operate.

No, he's saying that RC Christmas LLC is the limited liability corporation created to specifically produce this show, and it is made up of several people, at least one of whom also produced Home for the Holidays.
It ain't rocket science here.

He's full of *.*.*.* Take the trouble to look it up in the NY state database and you'll find it does not name any of the HFTH producers.

Jeffrey Chrzchzon is the first individual producer listed on the show's page on Playbill. He was even named in their initial press release, alongside Side Effects Include and Josh Pultz/Amplified Entertainment.

Of course it doesn't. That's not how it works. You may find the contact for service of process or the registered agent for the LLC, but not the names of producers. Unless you're looking at some other NY database that isn't the NYS Department of State Division of Corporations Entity Information.

I concede that Jeffrey may be involved but he is no longer listed as the producer in recent articles and several other things have changed since that first announcement a month ago.
As much as you want to connect this production to those other people last year it won't work because their production consisted of a random bunch of singers on a bare stage and lit by a guy with a flashlight.
This production is
"Written by Ken Arpino and Jesse Joyce and directed by Jonathan Tessero, the show has musical staging by Lisa Shriver and music direction by Ben Cohn. The design team includes Rob Bissinger (sets), Paul Miller (lighting), James Brown III (costumes), Bruce Landon Yauger (sound design), and Jason Lee Courson (projection design)."

...Those aren't producers. Those are the creative team.
And the director's last Broadway credit? Music directing Home for the Holidays.

Do you really not understand what a "producer" is -- or are you just trolling? The people listed above are the creative team (writers, designers, directors, music, etc.). They do not PRODUCE the show. The Producer is the person (or group of people) who either pay for, or raise the money to PRODUCE the show and actually PAY the people involved --- including Clay, Ruben, and the group above. Got it now?

This year its Ben Cohn, (Assistant Conductor for Wicked and Musical Director for Dear Evan Hanson). He is Clay's musical director for all his live performances.

MassiveMeGo, Ben Cohn is Ruben and Clay's MUSICAL director. The director of the show is Jonathan Tessero whose last theater credit was, in fact, as the musical director of Home for the Holidays. And of the three listed producers, only one, Jeffrey Chrzczon, has any producing credits, the most recent of which is Home for the Holidays.
I know you're involved with this show, but these are facts. It is also a fact that tickets are largely unsold for every performance which has to be a concern to all involved. I am not saying the show will be bad. I don't have any idea how the show will be. But there are pieces of factual information that point to it being in trouble, no matter how much you want to deny it is so. It may be easier to acknowledge that and move on than continuing to scream that people are liars. This is information being pulled directly from the show's site and IBDB and Telecharge.
