Under the Mizzletoe was presented by Davidson Entertainment in partnership with Phoenix Theatre in repertory along with Home for the Holidays by James Gish. The Good Feelz Trio— Lisa Fogel, Brian Sweis, Adam Vargas—has a disparate look but tight vocal harmonies. After two opening numbers they introduced themselves and settled into a show that ran an hour too long but offered some stunning moments.

Sweis, looking handsome and polished, soloed on “Christmas Blues” (Sammy Cahn/Jule Styne) and the very poignant and personal “A Different Kind of Christmas” (Mark Schultz). Vargas took the lead on “Don’t Be a Jerk, It’s Christmas” from Spongebob Squarepants (Tom Kenny/Andy Paley) and “Finding Christmas” (Casey Elliot/Brad Robins/Bradley Quinn). Fogel gave us a personal moment with “Snowman” (Sia). The trio shined on vocal harmony arrangements of “Under the Mistletoe” (Nasri/Adam Messinger), “Cool Yule” (Steve Allen), a mash up of Madonna’s “Holiday” (Curtis Hudson/Lisa Stevens), “Happy Holidays” (Irving Berlin), and “Happy” (Pharrell Williams); as well as “Silent Night” (Joseph Mohr/Franz Gruber).
Unfortunately, the show came to a halt with an audience game show of “Read My Lips Telephone,” using phrases from obscure holiday songs from animated Christmas specials, followed by costumed rap.
The Trio found plenty of comic moments with “Hardrock, Coco and Joe” (Stuart Hamblem) and “Hang Your Balls on the Christmas Tree” (Jess Hotchkiss/Kay Martin).

Vargas, who is if nothing else authentic, offered an original song, “Now That Winter’s Here” and showed off his falsetto on “Raise Your Glass” (Pink/Max Martin/Karl Shellback). We look forward to the group’s 2019 holiday offering.
