The Seattle Men’s Chorus is changing things up with this year’s holiday show set for multiple performances around Puget Sound this December. The chorus is debuting a brand new a cappella group, THE SUPERTONICS with “Jingle All The Way”.  The group will serve as “musical ambassadors for the choruses, perform at community events, and connect with other LGBTQ organizations and nonprofits.”

(We’ve heard they’re doing a “Hamilton” medley for this show….)

Seattle Men’s Chorus Introduces New Vocal Ensemble at Holiday Concert, Jingle All the Way

SEATTLE, WA –Seattle Men’s Chorus (SMC) rings in the holiday season with the high-spirited Jingle All the Way from December 9-23 at Benaroya Hall. For the first time since 2004, Seattle Men’s Chorus and Seattle Women’s Chorus will debut a new vocal ensemble. The Supertonics will share their tight-harmony a cappella sound for the very first time this December while sharing the stage with SMC.

Jingle All the Way is a joyful celebration that brings together beloved carols, fresh takes on holiday classics, and show-stopping dazzlers. Featuring “Silver Bells,” “Do You Hear What I Hear,” “Jingle Bell Rock” and many more moments of pure Holiday joy. Artistic Director Paul Caldwell confirms, “there will be bells, bells and more bells!” The Supertonics is directed by Nikki Blackmer. They will serve as musical ambassadors for the choruses, perform at community events, and connect with other LGBTQ organizations and nonprofits.

For close to four decades SMC has presented their unique blend of song, dance, and campy comedy to the Northwest; they have solidified their role as Seattle’s biggest Holiday extravaganza. As in years past, SMC will hold Everett and Tacoma area concerts. Details for those two concerts are online at seattlechoruses.org.
