The evening of song and comedy, according to press notes, "skewers and pays tribute to the great romantic duets and iconic moments of Broadway. No lyricist will be spared as Christmas Eve re-interprets the modern songbook with the help of some of Broadway’s most talented, hilarious and gorgeous leading men."
The evening was directed by Alan Muraoka with choreography by Rommy Sandhu and music direction by Gary Adler. The show was conceived and written by Adler, Harada and Muraoka.
Harada originated the role of Christmas Eve in both the Broadway and London productions of the Tony Award-winning Avenue Q. She's currently featured as stepsister Charlotte in Cinderella. She previously appeared on Broadway in 9 to 5, Les Miserables, Seussical The Musical and M. Butterfly.
