WAPP
returns to the Sheldon
Concert Hall
for a hot, hot cup of holiday cheer, with the world premiere of Baby, It's Cold
Outside, a shimmering evening of Broadway and Hollywood classics,
timeless standards, and a touch of comic spice, running December 8-9,
upstairs in the elegant Sheldon Ballroom, 3648 Washington, right behind the
Fabulous Fox Theatre. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to Washington
University Parkinson's Disease research.
For
just two magical nights, WAPP recaptures the
musical memories we all cherish, with a cast of St. Louis theatre all-stars,
including Colin DeVaughan, Vernon Goodman, Nick Kelly, April Lindsay, Mo Monohan,
Jeffrey Pruett, Todd Schaefer, Kimi Short, Angela Shultz, and Victoria Thomas.
This amazing cast breathes new life into songs like "Baby, It's Cold Outside,"
"Sisters,"
"I've Got My Love to Keep Me Warm," "Hard Candy Christmas,"
"Santa Baby" and many more. Chris Peterson, one of St. Louis's
best-known pianists, will be tickling the ivories and working his own musical
magic.
