JOHNNY MATHIS CHRISTMAS SHOW
December 12, 2009
Segerstrom Hall
Orange County’s holiday season will be in full swing when Johnny Mathis returns to the Center for an evening decked with holiday favorites and many of his most popular hits. His recordings have been inducted into the Grammy Award Hall of Fame three times since his first two hits, “Wonderful, Wonderful” and “Chances Are” hit the top of the charts in 1956. The public has continued to love the singer, his music and that distinct Mathis voice ever since.

XANADU
December 15 - 27, 2009
Segerstrom Hall
Put a bunch of smash hit songs, Tony® Award nominee Douglas Carter Beane and the cutest couple in town into a Broadway musical comedy blender, and what do you get? "Heaven on Wheels" says The New York Times. Taking audiences back to 1980 California, this hilarious new musical follows the beautiful Kira, who travels to earth to inspire a struggling young artist named Sonny, as she helps this aspiring painter to find his voice, discover true love and build the world’s first roller disco (not necessarily in that order).
