Melody Sweets - "Dear Santa..."

After selling out last year’s holiday engagement months in advance, Melody Sweets returns to The Smith Center this season with Dear Santa…, now expanded to two special performances. A glittering, laugh-out-loud holiday soirée brimming with lush big-band sounds, dazzling burlesque and Sweets’ signature irreverent humor, Dear Santa… is an all-new production featuring fresh surprises, brand-new musical moments and a few familiar favorites audiences have come to love. This intoxicating holiday celebration promises to satisfy your Sweets tooth with a sparkling mix of eye-popping burlesque, surprise guest stars and the perfect blend of naughty and nice holiday hits — including Melody’s deliciously cheeky single, “Santa Maybe.” Renowned for her magnetic stage presence and powerhouse vocals, Sweets has captivated audiences around the world — from creating, originating and cultivating the iconic role of the “Green Fairy” in the hit Las Vegas show Absinthe at Caesars Palace, to performing with and for legends like Sting, Jeff Goldblum and the late, great Jerry Lewis. With a voice that channels the glamour of a bygone era and a style all her own, Melody Sweets blends vintage charm with a modern twist — delivering a show overflowing with unforgettable music, dazzling burlesque and holiday humor.
