Winter Wonderland

Dedicated E-mail: The New Victory Theater

Uncle Saul, your half-Irish niece Carol, and her adopted two-year old twins are all visiting for the holidays.

Your first instinct? Skip town.

For an easier solution, take the gang to a 21st-century holiday celebration at Holiday House Party with Dan Zanes and Friends. The multicultural, all-age holiday hoopla organized by Grammy winner and famed Brooklyn musician Dan Zanes pulls together acts as diverse as disco Hanukkah rave-ups, raucous Arabic worship songs, and the occasional Christmas carol.

From a Korean New Year’s anthem to high-octane Mexican fiddling, the performances are unique on their own yet downright irresistible when combined to celebrate the world’s many diverse holiday rituals.

The show runs December 19-January 4 at the New Victory Theater. Tickets start at just $10.50 (if you are a New Victory Theater Member) and $15 for nonmembers.

Which is a heck of a lot cheaper than running off to Cabo.
