SHARI, MARY IN A YULE DELIGHT

Songstress buddies Shari Lynn and Mary Gutzi will co-star in a Christmas one-nighter Dec. 13 at The Actors Group (TAG).

The damsels,  who normally deliver ditties from Broadway and The Great American Songbook, will focus on holiday melodies, with a probability of a jazz title or two thrown in as a holiday gift.

The performance is dubbed “It’s Delightful, It’s DeLovely, It’s December.”

Showtimes will be at 4 and 7 p.m., at the Brad Powell Theatre, so you can’t  rightfully call this a one-nighter, since one show is a matinee, the finale is in the evening.

The notion of Shari and Mary doing something, someday, and some place together resulted in the forthcoming performances at TAG. Definitely, a debonair, dashing and dear deliverance.

The reliable and responsible Jim Howard will provide the music on his keyboards.

A sell-out – or two sell-outs — is likely, though ticket sales have not yet begun. The Iwilei theater has 54 seats, so early reservations are suggested.

Tickets: $50; includes complimentary wine bar and snacks in the adjacent mall.
