Layne Littlepage's Classic American Christmas

Classic American Christmas

Elegant, luminous soprano vocalist and gifted comedian, Layne Littlepage's dynamic, delightful and sometimes hysterically funny performances have received outstanding theatrical reviews and have enchanted audiences from coast to coast and around the world. Her one-woman shows such as "An Evening with Beatrice Lillie," "A Tribute to Julie Andrews," and "Noel, Cole, and Friends," (a tribute to the songs of Noel Coward and Cole Porter) have long won her international acclaim.

Now Layne applies her talents to the Christmas season, the results being a delightful and engaging Christmas show for all ages, full of nostalgia, wit and warmth. Accompanying her is the amiable and accomplished Barney Hulse on piano.

"Classic American Christmas" recalls the best of the holiday favorites from the 30s, 40s and 50s in a most touching way. Sentimental favorites such as "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" and "I'll Be Home for Christmas" are interspersed with whimsical tunes such as "Snow" (from Irving Berlin's White Christmas) and the delightful "Suzy Snowflake" (originally popularized in 1951 by Rosemary Clooney). But this is more than just a magnificent singing performance - along with her enchanting renditions of some of the best-loved Christmas songs from America's golden era of stage and screen, Layne shares heartwarming tales of the stories behind the songs, and personal anecdotes of the composers and stars who made these songs a part of classic American history.
