(BOUND BROOK, NJ) -- The Brook Arts Center presents Singer and PBS-TV star Chris Ruggiero’s Christmas Show on December 16 at 8:00pm features songs from his just-released holiday LP Christmas With Chris Ruggiero such as “Sleigh Ride,” “Christmas (Baby Please Come Home),” and “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” as well as songs from his four albums, all delivered in Chris’s own classic style. 

The LP features a duo with Darleen Love, “Grown-Up Christmas List” which is the first time that Love has recorded a Christmas tune since she teamed  up with Luther Vandross in 1995. Chris has been touring the country breathing new life into vintage rock and roll tunes, collaborating with the same arranger who created all the hits for Frankie Valli & the Four Seasons. Chris's sold-out tour hit thirty-seven cities from New York to Vegas. 

Whether you’re a teenager of the 1960s or just love good classic tunes, don't miss one of the most energetic and fun-filled holiday shows you will ever attend performed by one of today’s fastest-rising stars. Joining Chris will be one of his favorite groups, Emil Stucchio & the Classics. Best known for “Till Then,” the Classics’ setlist reads like a Top Ten list of the greatest hits of the 50s, 60s, and seventies. Produced by Gene DiNapoli / Lightning Entertainment.
