It’s pretty hard to ignore that Christmas is mere weeks away. You can resist it, which doesn’t do much good I find, or simply embrace it. So in that spirit, I headed to Eora/Sydney last night for the taping of “A (Very) Musical Christmas.”
This review is a bit different than the ones I normally write, because I really don’t want to spoil it for anyone who’ll tune in to the ABC broadcast later this month. The lineup had been well-publicised so I will say that stars including Eddie Perfect, Casey Donovan, and that talented Laga’aia clan were every bit as wonderful as you might expect. I also hope this broadcast encourages people to see more shows like the traveling production of Dear Evan Hansen or Titanique, because their casts were fabulous. And I’ll also add that the surprise ABC personality, who wasn’t included in the original cast announcement, was an unexpected joy.
If you love Christmas, musical theatre, or (like me!) both do not miss “A (Very) Musical Christmas” when it screens on ABC on December 20. It was so good, I’ll definitely tune in to enjoy its fabulous renditions of beloved Christmas tunes all over again!
