Sedona News – The Sedona International Film Festival presents A Christmas Cabaret, starring Merrill Leffmann, LIVE on Thursday, Dec. 12 at 7 p.m. at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre.
It’s the second annual Christmas cabaret! New twists on old favorites (The Grinch as an intervention!?), original songs that leave you humming, non-traditional gems, as well as traditional music and sing-a-longs. It’s a fun, beautiful and unique evening (every show is different!) with that cabaret diva of many styles — Merrill Leffmann — and friends. Come enjoy Christmas as you’ve never heard it!
Merrill is an eclectic performer (and voice teacher) with a rich and varied palette gathered through years of making music. She sang in jazz clubs before turning to opera, salon, barbershop, and musical theater performances, aided by a Masters in operatic voice.
Tiring of singing to other people’s scripts, Merrill discovered cabaret and was hooked. With the help of an amazing mentor, she retooled for this intimate and varied style which combines Merrill’s flair for creating characters and moods, her penchant for songwriting, and a love of genre hopping with the delight of singing.
Merrill is happy to return to the Mary D. Fisher theater with her annual favorite: a Christmas cabaret!
