Christian Holder, together with Musical Director, Philip Foster, presents a selection of songs from the worlds of Popular Music and Theatre. His personal, biographical recollections create a tapestry woven through and around the music of Kander and Ebb, Cole Porter, Noel Coward, Stevie Wonder, Stephen Sondheim, Al Green, Annie Lennox, Michael Kamen, and more. From his theatrical childhood in London, to his professional career in ballet in New York, and home again, these songs have inspired and enhanced all aspects of his life’s journey along the way.

 “I have known Christian and worked with him for many years with great joy and admiration. He has real value, and talent!” ANN REINKING
 

“Christian Holder's artistry was well known in the dance world in New York for decades. To see him emerge now, as a singer and storyteller , bringing his fascinating life to audiences in the most entertaining way with classic songs, leaves me gob- smacked!” DONNA MCKECHNIE

“Christian Holder is best known as being one of the iconic dancers of the distinguished and ground-breaking Joffrey Ballet Company. Nothing about an evening of Christian Holder in cabaret is what you expect it might be. As someone whose life was so heavily influenced by the dance, it pervades every inch of his being, and can be mesmerising to watch…His ability to deliver truth and drama through song enables him to captivate an audience for nearly two hours and leave them wanting more. Joined on stage by his musical director / accompanist Phillip Foster, the two have a synchronicity which is sorely lacking in some cabaret today. Foster provides a rich accompaniment, full of light and shade, but elegant in it’s subtlety. Superb! Holder and Foster really are a joy to watch and it’s an evening of cabaret I’d certainly recommend” DOUGLAS MAYO Britishtheatre.com
