It has been a holiday favorite quarter century.

Nothing stopping charleston special going on as planned.

Joining us with more on how this year will be a little different is brad, show producer for morean entertainment and charleston christmas special.

Thank you for joining us.

Beautiful tree.

Thank you, all because of my wife.

I put it up.

You two make a very good team.

We'll get to that in a bit.

You are both in the show.

25 years and going strong.

How did this get started?

Well, it was i guess it was calvin gilmore who started it back in 1995.

Partnered with family channel and michael bennett to build the charleston music hall.

Hotel bennett, you started charleston music hall, tell us more about this.

Really got started.

My wife and i moved here.

Eventually, literally within a matter of weeks, we were put in charge of the show.

We have been putting it together ever since.

Literally 25 years.

Even when the show closed which was called serenade.

We didn't want to leave charles, we loved it here.

What do we have to do to stay?

We lost our producer, okay we became the producers of it.

Ever since then we have been creating and producing it and choregraphing it.

It is not just christmas songs, christmas carols, cans a complete show of many different generas of entertainment.

Can you go through, let's start with this year's program all the various different styles you are going to incorporate.

My wife i'll keep coming back to her she was a radio city rockette in new york.

Slants to the majesty, spectacular aspect of radio city christmas show.

Obviously we are not the rockefellers.

In materials of musical styles, we cover everything, big band or swing, contemporary christian, jazz, gospel, country, if i left anything out, i didn't mean to.

Comedy.

That is her.

Again i am going back to my wife.

I used think i am funny, now i just feed her lines and let her go crazy.

We are the george and gracie.

You are still holding live performances also adding another component.

Absolutely.

Only doing four performances.

It is not safe to do that.

Only one weekend with very limited seating.

We are going to stream it which we have never done before.

Available to stream.

It is not a live stream.

We are going to film it, jenny and i are going to reedit it before we let anybody see it.

It will be available to stream note -- plus the fee that the streamers put on it.

Very reasonable.

All the way up through christmas.

You do have sold out shows, that is not possible.

Can you give a few names of the performers?

Yes.

We have had tiffany parker in our show for ages.

Michael miner, singing ventriloquist.

He is amazing.

Rodney archie singer who sings with the goes well quire.

Half of our band plays with charleston band.

Power house of a cast.

And little addy collins.

She is a small adorable child there is a bid running through the show.

She is a spy for santa claus.

She is spying on jenny, kind of crazy.

It will be fun to watch how that unfolds.

Sounds like so much fun.

Can't wait to be back in the theatres next year.

Thank you so much for joining us.

So great to talk to you again.

You,
