That’s why we applaud you, Carmel.

DEAR FRIENDS, Can it be that the holidays are already upon us? Where does the time go?

Despite the hustle and bustle, this is a season of tradition, and each year the traditions keep growing stronger here at the Center for the Performing Arts.

Once again, our friends at St. Vincent are sponsoring our Holiday Series, and no Holiday Series would be complete without a visit from saxophonist Dave Koz & Friends, a perennial favorite at the Palladium. Joining Koz on Dec. 9 will be blues-rock saxophonist Mindi Abair, R&B singer-songwriter Jonathan Butler and smooth jazz/New Age pianist-composer Keiko Matsui.

New to the St. Vincent Holiday Series this year are two unique events. On Dec. 1, actress-singer Jane Lynch (Glee) will delight us with her A Swingin’ Little Christmas show, a jazzy, funny and affectionate sendup of classic holiday TV specials. On Dec. 15, the Center will present All Is Calm: The Christmas Truce of 1914, a musical production based on the true story of British and German soldiers who briefly laid down their arms to share a moment of humanity amid the carnage of World War I. Other holiday-related events include New Orleans favorite son Harry Connick Jr., saluting both the holidays and his hometown on Nov. 27; country star Sara Evans with a live version of her At Christmas album on Nov. 29; and the Center’s fourth annual, four-party New Year’s Eve Extravaganza presented

by Taft on – you guessed it – Dec. 31.

If you get holidayed-out, our Katz, Sapper & Miller Series offers classic pop-rock from the Beach Boys’ Brian Wilson and Styx’s Dennis DeYoung; the acclaimed songwriting of John Hiatt and Royal Wood; and smooth jazz with Boney James.

For kids of all ages, our Old Town Companies Family Series brings you Lightwire Theater’s innovative neon puppetry.

As always, thanks to our 2018-19 Season Sponsor, Allied Solutions, and our other sponsors, donors and volunteers. And thanks again to you for making the Center part of your holiday tradition.

KATZ, SAPPER & MILLER SERIES

AN EVENING WITH JOHN HIATT: THE ECLIPSE SESSIONS TOUR Friday, November 9, at 8PM | The Palladium When Bob Dylan, Willie Nelson and Bruce Springsteen play your songs, you must be onto something. At age 18, John Hiatt left Indianapolis for Nashville and a career that has made him one of the most respected songwriters in American music.

Equally at home with rock, blues and country, Hiatt has recorded his own hits (“Slow Turning,” “Have a Little Faith in Me,” “Perfectly Good Guitar”) and provided material for a remarkable range of artists: Bonnie Raitt (“Thing Called Love”), Rosanne Cash (“The Way We Make A Broken Heart”), the Jeff Healey Band (“Angel Eyes”), Emmylou Harris, Iggy Pop, Chaka Khan and many more.

Hiatt’s current tour supports the brand-new release, The Eclipse Sessions, his 23rd studio album and first since 2014’s Terms of My Surrender. Don’t miss his Palladium debut! series sponsor

Best in Show

Whatever she does, Jane Lynch strikes gold

By Scott Hall

You probably think of her as the villainous Sue Sylvester on Fox TV’s Glee, or demanding dog trainer Christy Cummings from the mockumentary Best in Show.

In real life, however, actress Jane Lynch isn’t nearly that scary.

She’ll prove it Dec. 1, when she brings her holiday musical revue, A Swingin’ Little Christmas, to the Palladium.

The production is an affectionate sendup of classic Christmas albums and TV specials from decades past – cultural statements put forth by folks like Bing Crosby, Andy Williams, Perry Como, 8

Ella Fitzgerald and Rosemary Clooney.

The program mixes traditional holiday tunes with original numbers of a similar vein, written, arranged and performed by Los Angelesbased trumpeter Tony Guerrero and his jazz quintet. Lynch spearheads the three-part vocal harmonies with help from friends Kate Flannery, best known as the dissolute Meredith on NBC’s The Office, and Tim Davis, vocal arranger for all six seasons of Glee.

“We’re clean as a whistle,” promises Lynch, an Illinois native. “Sometimes we sound a little like the Andrews Sisters or the King Family.”

Lynch points to Flannery as the secret weapon: “She has an amazing voice, and she’s a throwback – she sounds like somebody from the late ’50s, early ’60s. She’s also got a crazy sense of humor.”

The group came together in 2016 to record an album version of A Swingin’ Little Christmas, and they introduced the live show that year at Feinstein’s at the Nikko, Michael Feinstein’s signature cabaret club in San Francisco.

But Lynch and Flannery go back more than two decades

as veterans of Chicago’s improv comedy scene, having performed first with Second City and later with the Annoyance Theatre. Each moved on to other projects, in Lynch’s case an endless list of TV, film, cartoon and advertising work: Two and a Half Men, The 40-Year-Old Virgin, Talladega Nights and beyond. One job was an insectinfested 2001 episode of The X-Files with actor Aaron Paul, later to become Breaking Bad’s Jesse Pinkman.

“I just ran into him at a car wash, and we relived our X-Files experience together,” Lynch says, recalling the traumatic makeup ordeal. “They had to make a fake of my head that the spider web shot out of.”

The big break came when Lynch was cast in a quirky Kellogg’s Frosted Flakes commercial directed by writer-comedian Christopher Guest, who then placed her in four of his acclaimed comedy films built around improvised dialog and documentary-style direction. The first was 2000’s Best in Show, a deadpan take on the culture surrounding high-profile dog pageants.

“There was kind of a floodgate that opened after that,” Lynch says. “People started to know (Continued...)

9

my name, and if they didn’t know my name, they knew my face. So offers started coming my way.”

Soon came Glee, an unlikely TV smash about plucky misfits in a high school choral group. Lynch won Emmys and countless other awards as her character evolved improbably from cheerleading coach to high school principal to vice president of the United States.

After that, opportunities abounded, and in 2013, Lynch got her bucket-list ticket to Broadway as the nasty Miss Hannigan in Annie. That gave her the bug to sing, and she

10

thought of Flannery.

“After Glee ended and The Office ended for her, we got together and decided, ‘Let’s put our act on the road,’” says Lynch, who meanwhile serves as host of NBC’s Hollywood Game Night. “And we found this terrific band! We’re the luckiest girls, because we’ve got these five guys out of Orange County, and they’re called the Tony Guerrero Quintet, and they go with us everywhere. They’re the best. They’re great jazz players, but they can also play anything else.”

OLD TOWN COMPANIES FAMILY SERIES

LIGHTWIRE THEATER: THE UGLY DUCKLING Sunday, November 11, at 1 & 4PM | The Tarkington New Orleans-based Lightwire Theater brings Hans Christian Andersen’s classic tale to the modern stage in a fresh theatrical experience for all ages – a cutting-edge blend of full-body puppetry, classical and pop music and expressive choreography lit by dazzling electroluminescent technology.

The cast’s large, fanciful costumes are constructed from recyclables and household items, covered in black fabric and then outlined in neon style with multicolored “el wire,” allowing the group to perform in complete darkness. A character can take nearly 200 hours to create and use up to 16 AA batteries per performance. Don’t be surprised to see dinosaurs, giant birds, soldiers and more! series sponsor

BONEY JAMES Friday, November 16, at 8PM | The Palladium Saxophonist and composer Boney James was a sideman for Morris Day and the Isley Brothers before launching a solo career that has sent 11 albums to the top of Billboard’s Contemporary Jazz Albums chart. Most recently, 2015’s Futuresoul spent 11 weeks at No. 1, and 2017’s Honestly also hit No. 22 on the Current Albums pop chart. James produced Honestly and co-wrote all but one track, his interpretation of the Johnny Mercer-Hoagy Carmichael classic “Skylark.” Among other honors in the course of his career, James has received a Soul Train Award, four Grammy nominations and two NAACP Image Award nominations.

Wood’s 10th and latest album is Ever After the Farewell, inspired by life events including his recent marriage and the loss of his father.

A permanent exhibit honoring the people who created and popularized this extraordinary music is located in the Shiel Sexton Songbook Lounge on the Palladium’s Gallery level.

• The Songbook Archives houses sheet music, recordings, and other artifacts from the careers of artists such as songwriters Meredith Willson (The Music Man), Johnny Burke (“Swinging on a Star”), Gus Kahn (“It Had to Be You”), and Hy Zaret (“Unchained Melody”).

• The Songbook Exhibit Gallery presents rotating interactive exhibits that share the music, history, and culture of the Songbook.

• The Songbook Academy® Summer Intensive is a national performing arts program for high school vocalists and the only one of its kind dedicated to the music of the Songbook.

• Perfect Harmony provides therapeutic music programming for individuals with Alzheimer’s, dementia, and other neurodegenerative conditions.

Visit the Songbook Exhibit Gallery! Located on the Gallery level of the Palladium Hours: Monday–Friday, 10AM–4PM The Gallery is also open prior to performances in the Songbook and Drewry Simmons Vornehm Jazz Series and select additional performances at the Palladium. /SongbookFoundation 38
