Seattle Men’s Chorus Holiday Show

Seattle Men’s Chorus serves up everyone’s favorite holiday tradition: seasonal classics, Christmas comedy, a dizzying array of dancing Santas, and the gayest sing-along ever! Songs include “Pink Christmas,” “Joy to the World,” and a new holiday version of “Holding Out for a Hero.”
This year’s lineup includes an abbreviated show specifically for children to join in the delight of Ho Ho Ho. The one-hour show accommodates those with shorter attention spans, complete with extra dancing to get the wiggles out and an extended sing-along with general admission seating. Perfect for all ages!
