Today we are talking about a new musical concert experience celebrating the holiday spirit like never before! This holiday season, Koolist Entertainment is proud to launch a world premiere tour from the creators of Koolulam – The Mass Global Singing Sensation that swept the hearts of millions to sing together worldwide.

Producers Kathi and Alan Glist of Glist Entertainment are on the podcast today to explain what makes this show so unique and moving.

Married for 53 years, the duo make ideal partners both in entertainment and in life. They began their theatrical producing career with “Fiddler on the Roof,” “Oliver,” “The King & I,” and “The Rothschilds,” following that with their Off-Broadway sensation “I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change.”

The multiple Tony Award winners are also responsible for having discovered the off-Broadway sensation, "Menopause the Musical," which has since run for over nineteen years in Las Vegas and is now the longest-running musical in Vegas history!

Stay tuned to learn more about the new sensation that is "Christmas Carolmania!" which comes to Count Basie Center for the Arts (99 Monmouth Street) in Red Bank on Tuesday, December 23, 2025 at 7:30pm.  Tickets are available for purchase online.
