This is just what you need as an antidote to all that traditional Christmas fuss. Oh, hang on, it's not. It's a festive UK mini-tour by the London Gay Men's Chorus (you might have seen them on the telly). The show, entitled 'Make The Yuletide Gay' will get four outings in three cities in the run up to Christmas, and will feature performances of Christmas favourites such as 'Hark The Herald Angels Sing', 'The Twelve Days of Christmas', 'Walking in the Air', 'Deck the Halls' and 'Let it Snow', as well as something a bit less Christmassy - a special Destiny's Child medley, 'Bootylicious!', performed with full choreography. Rula Lenska's going to be there too. Bonus.
Musical director Charlie Beale says "We can't wait to unwrap our Christmas spectacular this year, and we're delighted to have the chance to strut our festive stuff in Birmingham and Brighton as well as London. With everything from carols for the audience to join in, to some beautiful classical pieces and the energy of our Bootylicious medley, you won't find a better way to kick off your holiday season."
