This year’s tradition returns with Holly Jolly Jingle, December 5-23
SEATTLE – It’s time to ring in the season with the Seattle Men’s Chorus at the Pacific Northwest’s most beloved holiday tradition.
With performances running December 5-23, Holly Jolly Jingle: Seattle Men’s Chorus Holiday Show will be serving up a jolly collection of seasonal classics, Christmas comedy, and Seattle’s gayest sing-along.
The fun-filled concert — with performances in Tacoma, Everett, and Seattle — features songs including “A Holly Jolly Christmas,” “Silver Bells,” “Jingle Them Bells,” and a new holiday version of Chappell Roan’s “HOT TO GO.” This year, SMC will also premiere the NOTcracker Suite — a four-minute rendition of the holiday staple featuring hilarious lyrics, props, and antics you expect from the Seattle Men’s Chorus during the holliest, jolliest time of the year!
“Some recipes never fail — mix the Men’s Chorus with the holidays, and you’re guaranteed a joyful feast,” said Paul Caldwell, Seattle Men’s Chorus artistic director.
For 2025, the out of Seattle shows will kick-off the season with the opener at Tacoma’s Pantages Theater on Friday, December 5th at 7:30pm followed by the Everett, Washington concert on Sunday, December 7th at 2pm at the Everett Civic Auditorium. In his spare time, he gets slightly obsessive about his love for old movies, challenging theater, "otters", vodka, chocolate, "I,Claudius", Lizzie Borden, real books made out of paper, disaster films, show tunes, Weimar era Germany, flea markets, pop surrealistic art, the sex lives of Hollywood actors both living and dead, kitties, chicken fried steak, haute couture and David Bowie.
