Jolly Holidays with Noah PROGRAM | noahsundaylefkowitz

A NOTE FROM NOAH: Happy Ho-Ho-holidays! When Brock Powell first approached me about making a Disney-specific holiday show, it was an immediate yes. Just like the Disney parks, holiday music fosters a feeling of joy and warmth, and encourages each of us to feel like a kid again. We hope this show brings you a bit of holiday magic, reminds you of Disney holiday songs you may have forgotten over the years, and brings back fond memories of holidays past. Thank you to each of you who brought a toy for our Toys for Tots drive, you have become Santa to children who need it most. As I've said before, music is the closest thing we have to magic. Enjoy the show!

NOTE: This one-hour show will be performed continuously with NO intermission.
