C.L. Hoover Opera House release
On December 1st at 7:00 p.m. international vocalist and entertainer Helen Welch takes the C.L. Hoover Opera House stage to take Junction City on a nostalgic seasonal journey called Carpenters Christmas.
As a docu-musical, A Carpenters Christmas is not a “tribute” concert, but an original, fresh perspective of songs peppered with vignettes that finally captures the true quality and essence of The Carpenters in and uplifting and respectful manner. This one-of-a kind show features Helen Welch and her world-class musicians reliving many of the Carpenter’s timeless hits with classic holiday songs and fascinating stories woven in-between Helen’s distinctive, alto voice.
It settles in perfectly amidst precise, new arrangements of songs such as: Close To You (the Carpenters’ most popular song), We've Only Just Begun, On Top of The World, Rainy Days and Mondays and Christmas classics such as Merry Christmas Darling, The Christmas Song and more.
The hits are intertwined with Helen's cheeky British humor, stage presence and fascinating, unheard backstage stories.
Tickets are available now at jcoperahouse.org or call the Box Office at 785-238-3906.
