One fateful Christmas Eve, Ted, a timid, middle-aged accountant with persistent bad luck is in the middle of a nasty divorce. Hopeless and depressed, he is about to take the elevator to the roof to “end it all.” His efforts are suddenly interrupted by a tenant who lives down the hall–Natasha, a statuesque Drag Queen dressed in the ultimate Christmas-Queen pageant outfit. She barges into the elevator on her way to the main floor lobby, but when the elevator abruptly gets stuck, both Ted’s plan and Natasha’s dream of competing for the title of “Christmas Queen” are held in the balance. The stakes are as high as her holiday-themed headdress. This unlikely duo is forced to work together to escape, ultimately learning that life is all about embracing the ups and the downs…with bells on.
This festive show has a book by Tommy Newman & Devanand Janki, Music & Lyrics by Tommy Newman (Band Geeks, ASCAP Award Winner). Based on the play With Bells On! by Darrin Hagen. Directed by Devanand Janki (Lucille Lortel Award Winner, Zanna, Don’t!, Little Girl Blue - The Nina Simone Musical), with musical direction by Ricky Romano.

JENNIFER DIAMOND
“Let Me Be Me”
7:00pm / Tickets begin at $29
How do you solve a problem like Jennifer Diamond? That’s been a recurring theme as she’s navigated a career in musical theatre. Always “a little too much of” one thing and “not enough of” another, she’s never been able to find a place to plant herself and be exactly enough. Throwing caution to the wind and freeing herself from a room at Pearl, “Let Me Be Me” unleashes the authentic Jennifer as she traverses roles she has played, should play and could play — with special guests and a full band — if only they would just let her be her. Originally intended for March of 2020, the pandemic and a new child added their own curveballs and chaos to explore. “Let Me Be Me” is written by Jennifer Diamond and Robbie Rozelle. It is directed by BroadwayWorld Award-winning director Robbie Rozelle and features musical direction and arrangements by Luke Williams. Featuring Mauricio Martínez and more. The evening is produced by Evan Sacks.
