SHOW 7PM

Kickin’ Off Christmas Cabaret celebrates the tradition,  joy, wonder, excitement magic and more of the holiday season wrapped up with a bow in a 90 minute stage show of stories and song.  Hosted by Chicago fan favorite, Denise McGowan Tracy with her special guests from the worlds of musical theater, jazz, cabaret and more, expect an all-new show with a nod to the nostalgia of those Perry Como Christmas specials of the 1960’s.

Denise McGowan Tracy steps onto the Gateway Lounge stage following a nearly 50 year career in Chicago entertainment producing, performing and even as playwright from Chicago’s legendary Byfield’s nightclub in the storied Ambassador East Hotel, to Navy Pier, to private and fundraising events from ballrooms to estates, cabaret stages, and her 13 year-run as creator and host of Petterino’s Monday Night Live with a little side trip writing and producing her holiday family musical, Eleanor’s Very Merry Christmas Wish.
