Christmas In Black 8:00 pm $21.50
The Ritz Theatre & LaVilla Museum celebrates the holiday season with the Broadway Musical Christmas In Black. This Broadway musical will be the best and liveliest Christmas show you will see this season. Christmas In Black features Christmas classics with an African American twist. The Temptations, Donnie Hathaway and Nat King Cole put a different spin on traditional carols that created new holiday music classics. Since Mahalia Jackson sang Silent Night African Americans have put their own unique spin on Christmas Carols. Whether adding gospel, jazz, soul or funk the Black experience at Christmas is one of a kind. Christmas in Black features 20 Christmas classics from Eartha Kitt’s “Santa Baby” to Donnie Hathaway’s “This Christmas.” With audience participation, sing-alongs and a party atmosphere, the phenomenal five member cast and band takes the audience through a rollicking, fun filled and sometimes sentimental voyage through all that is Christmas in Black.
