A Very Mary Christmas, December 1–23 in NYC

After a controversial off-Broadway run in Mary, Like a Virgin, downtown drag performer Mimi Imfurst has teamed up with composer Mike Pettry to create the follow-up show A Very Mary Christmas just in time for the holidays. This newest production, with 14 musical numbers, is the latest in Mimi's Virgin Mary cabaret chronicles.

A Very Mary Christmas is a musical retelling of the months leading up to the birth of Christ as told by the Virgin Mary. With the help of her sidekick and accompanist, Earl Weissman, Mary also shares the intimate details of her relationship with her boyfriend, God, her love for her new husband, Joey, her feelings about Christmas, and her journey to stardom.

The show, at the new Christopher Street Theater in New York City, opens December 1 and will run performances Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m. through December 23. Tickets are $10 and available at www.virginmarylive.com or by calling TheatreMania at (212) 352-3101.
