Shana Bousard and Brian Runbeck with Joe Bousard & Scott Hay: Holiday Magic and Dreams

Shana Bousard and Runbeck have sung together for years, and her Broadway soprano blended with his Broadway baritone like rum and coke.

A continuous delight from its hypnotic opening with the title number to its romantic ending.

The evening was everything such a tribute should be—highly personal with a tight focus, a mix of emotions and humor, and a varied song list.

I would be remiss if I didn’t mention Abernathy’s beautiful resonant tenor; its warm timbre added luster to each of his offerings.

A master class in cabaret performance.

Keating once more proved himself an expert storyteller in both narration and song.

The show, under the deft direction of Lennie Watts, was campy and heartbreaking, absurd and very romantic, witty and very serious.

His talent was obvious, as was his warmth, but overall the show was a mixed bag.

Congratulations to the 2024 MAC Award Nominees!

A phenomenal talent.
