Home for the Holidays Gets Cozy at the August Wilson Theatre
Home for the Holidays, a new concert featuring veterans of American Idol, The Voice, America's Got Talent, and The Bachelorette, is gearing up for its 53-performance run at Broadway's August Wilson Theatre with the recent installation of its brand-new marquee. Performances are set to begin November 17 ahead of a November 21 opening night. Performances are scheduled to conclude on December 30.
The holiday show is set to star Candice Glover, winner of American Idol season 12, Josh Kaufman, The Voice winner during season 6, America's Got Talent season 1 winner Bianca Ryan, as well as YouTube sensations Peter Hollens and Evynne Hollens. Kaitlyn Bristowe, of The Bachelorette season 11, will host. Oscar nominee Danny Aiello will make special appearances.
Drawing from a rich musical catalogue, Home for the Holidays features contemporary takes on more than 25 perennial favorites, from "O Come All Ye Faithful" to "All I Want for Christmas Is You."
The performers are backed by an eight-piece rhythm-and-brass band. Bristowe will provide seasonally themed narration, with Aiello offering stories of Christmas in New York. Jonathan Tessero provides creative and musical direction.
