A Varietyville Christmas Special is coming to LA LA Land TOMORROW, December 3rd! The “Dysfunctional-Family-Friendly” monthly live variety show will be celebrating it’s THIRD annual Christmas special, and FIRST show at LA’s spectacular Elysian Theater.
Directed by creator and showrunner Austin Laine Walker, the show draws inspiration from icons of television’s golden years, like Dean Martin, Carol Burnett, and The Muppets—blending scripted storytelling, improvisational blunders, and guest performances with a festive yuletide twist.
Christmas will come early this year with special guests Ron Lynch, Esmerelda the Puppet, and Trevor Goober! Plus a unique performance from Matt Felten as Ebenezer Scrooge. You’ll meet The Varietyvillians (Suzanne Nichols, Cait Bidwell, Yasha Rayzberg, Amanda Sedaka, Iris Perry, & “Transatlantic Will” Marcil) with legendary character actor, Dr. M.C. Gainey, and music from Mike Bolger and The Varietyville Sound (Madison Shearer, Jared Tashjian, Cale Moore,& Fiddlin’ Tom Hanslowe), as well as cartoons from Isaiah Ferguson and puppetry by Alex Bartley!
Each performance is a one-night-only experience where Walker and the Citizens of Varietyville unite an audience of all ages with a modern twist on classic variety specials of the past. The troupe goes all out for the holidays, making spirits bright with humor, song, and even a touch of sentimentality that would make their variety special forebears proud. With every unique production, the cast and crew strive to outdo themselves as a reminder of the incredible community upon which Varietyville is built.
