A Very Merry Metropolis Holiday Concert

Step into a holiday celebration that feels like flipping through every channel of December past—back when the biggest event of the season was the annual TV holiday variety special, broadcast in soft-focus glow and wrapped in velvety orchestral sound. The A Very Merry Metropolis Holiday Concert captures all that classic charm: big musical numbers, heartfelt kid solos, surprise comedy moments, and that gentle, corny warmth that made those specials unforgettable.

Think Donny & Marie walking through a snow-dusted set, The Carpenters harmonizing by a lit fireplace, or the Muppets gathering for one last song—joyful, genuine, and filled with the kind of holiday sincerity you don’t see often anymore. Each number in the show unfolds like a vintage vignette, inviting you into a world where every lyric feels like a wish and every harmony rings like a memory.

Featuring a young cast of up-and-comers alongside Broadway in Chicago superstars Emilie Lynn, Colte Julian, and Jo Ann Daugherty. It’s a celebration of community, laughter, and the simple magic of gathering—just like families did around the TV, year after year. A cozy, glittering throwback that’s both nostalgic and refreshingly new.
