NBC’s The Sing-Off winners Home Free kick off the holidays with A Country Christmas
November in the Music Center begins, appropriately enough, with culinary goddess Ina Garten, whetting palates in anticipation of Thanksgiving with tips from her new book Cook Like a Pro, audience Q&A, and stories about her TV show, the Hamptons, and, lest we forget, Jeffrey. Wanda Sykes shares laugh-out-loud stories with the wit, incisive commentary, and delivery that has fueled her popular comedy specials and characters on Blackish, Snatched, and Bad Moms. Pop hits get a retro twist from viral sensation-turned-touring juggernaut Postmodern Jukebox, while Mexican singer Aida Cuevas pays tribute to confidant, mariachi icon Juan Gabriel. The New Chinese Acrobats dazzle with incredible feats of physicality and winners of NBC’s The Sing-Off, Home Free, jump headfirst into the holidays with A Country Christmas.

Heralded as one of the funniest stand-up comics in the game, Wanda Sykes calls on the genius behind her smart-witted comedy specials and hilarious characters on Blackish, Snatched, and Bad Moms for an evening of laugh-out-loud stories. With sidesplitting jokes and poignant observations covering parenthood, aging, race, and politics, there’s no question why the Chicago Tribune calls this comedy lightning rod “remarkably endearing” and “endlessly watchable.”

Viral sensation Postmodern Jukebox originally blew up online with videos that showcased the group’s trademark vintage twist on modern pop hits. Since then, this traveling band of throwback minstrels has brought their retro pop stylings to sold-out shows around the world. Drawing on a setlist that can include anything from Guns N’ Roses to Beyoncé, the rotating cast of musicians and singers renders modern music in fashions that date back to a time of street corner harmonies and torch singers, blues belters and golden-voiced crooners.
