Festive shows celebrate the season
There are those who dream of a white Christmas, but they may be outnumbered by those who seek a really “green” Christmas.
I’m not talking just about the Black Friday crowd of merchants who hope to make in one month what they couldn’t all year (a profit), but rather those who think that the Yuletide season is even more an occasion for Irish music than St. Patrick’s Day.
It’s a time of year when people think nostalgically of traditions, whether they are immigrants or just far from home. So sentimentality has helped spur so many Celtic Christmas shows that have abounded in recent years. Here with the highlights from the hob.
Eileen Ivers and her Immigrant Soul present “An Nollaig-An Irish Christmas” for 17 shows across the country, with tri-state stops in Bay Shore, Long Island (8th, Boulton Center), Ridgefield, Connecticut (9th, Ridgefield Playhouse), New Brunswick, New Jersey (11th, State Theatre), Mahwah, New Jersey (12th, Berrie Center/Ramapo College).
The show is chock full of music from the old and new country, with stepdancers and choirs enhancing the cast of Ivers, Tommy McDonnell, Buddy Connolly, Greg Anderson and Leo Traversa. Visit www.eileenivers.com.
