Daniel Reichard, who created the role of Bob Gaudio in the original Broadway cast of Jersey Boys, will offer his annual holiday show, Mr. Christmas!, December 19 at 8 PM at The Cutting Room in Manhattan.
The evening, marking Reichard's 15th holiday concert, will feature holiday songs from the worlds of film, Broadway, and radio–songs never
performed in previous editions and favorites from Christmas shows past.
Music director Jesse Vargas will be joined by Alex Wyatt on drums, Brian Holtz on bass, David Cinquegrana on guitar, Justin Vance on reeds, and Jay Webb on trumpet.
The actor made his New York debut in Forbidden Broadway: 20th Anniversary Celebration and then played Keith Haring in the Public Theater's Radiant Baby. He appeared Off-Broadway in The Thing About Men and played the title role in the New York City Opera mounting of Leonard Bernstein's Candide. Reichard has also toured concert halls across North America with his fellow Jersey Boys alumni in The Midtown Men.
