“Dear Diary,” the show begins. “Christmas Eve again. Sigh. Everyone gets a gift. I get an empty bed. Not even a reindeer warming my feet.”

Tony-nominated Broadway star and writer Melissa Errico reunites with America’s great piano man, Billy Stritch, for their fourth holiday season together—this time with a brand-new winter show, “The Secret Diary of Mrs. Santa.” Blending beloved American Songbook classics with fresh takes on holiday favorites, this enchanting debut finds Errico embracing her long-held fascination with the life of Mrs. Santa, who at last sits down to pen her long-overdue memoir. Through a playful and heartfelt song list, she reveals the untold story of the Santas’ courtship, their life at the North Pole, and even a cheeky flirtation with the head elf who stays behind.

Expect romantic mischief (“Baby, It’s Cold Outside”), the joys of toy-making (“When She Loved Me”), and a heartfelt reconciliation (“I’ll Be Home for Christmas”). The evening sparkles with selections like “Rudolph,” “Always True to You in My Fashion,” and “Sleigh Ride,” alongside clever parodies such as “Too Darn Cold” and a hard-swinging “Holiday Feeling,” all brought to life with a fiery jazz trio. This is a holiday show bound to be remembered, at least until next December!
