Tony Yazbeck | December 11 – 13
“Tony Yazbeck represents a dying breed of showmen that keeps the word debonair from falling into complete extinction. Tony Yazbeck is nothin’ but class.” – TheaterMania
Some people are born entertainers. Tony Yazbeck might be Broadway’s quintessential song & dance man! Last seen in our A Fabulous 50th: Broadway’s Most Legendary Season revue, Tony returns to our Cabaret Series with his timeless charm and style!
At just 4 years old, Tony saw Fred Astaire performing on a black and white TV screen and he danced around the living room, copying those moves so well that his mom and dad put him in dance class right away.
He was starring in his first Broadway show at the age of 11 in Gypsy with Tyne Daly! And has been delighting audiences with his singing and dancing ever since!
Tony most recently starred as Cary Grant in the new musical Flying Over Sunset on Broadway at Lincoln Center Theatre. He remains best known for his work on revival of On the Town, for which he won the Astaire Award and was nominated for the Tony, Drama League, and Outer Critics Circle awards for his virtuosic performance. He also starred in the Susan Stroman/Harold Prince-helmed Japan and Broadway productions of Prince of Broadway for which he received the Chita Rivera Award as well as Drama Desk and Outer Critics Circle Award nominations. He also starred as J.M. Barrie in the Broadway production of Finding Neverland and as Billy Flynn in Chicago!
You probably also recognize him from his numerous television and film credits including American Sports
Story: Aaron Hernandez (playing legendary coach Urban Meyer), The Good Fight, Billions, Smash, and the
feature documentary Every Little Step, about the casting process for the 2006 revival of A Chorus Line on Broadway.
Don’t miss the Broadway veteran’s spellbinding one-man show, as he invited audiences to join him on an honest, emotional journey along life’s ups and downs as told through the lyrics of classic show tunes, new standards, and dazzling tap dancing.
American Ballet Theatre’s The Nutcracker | December 11 – 21
“… ravishing and clever enough to inspire multiple viewings.” – Los Angeles Times
“Jaw-droppingly beautiful!” – OC Register
Celebrating its 10th season at Segerstrom Center, SoCal’s favorite holiday tradition returns with American Ballet Theatre’s critically acclaimed production of The Nutcracker. Created by one of today’s most celebrated choreographers, Alexei Ratmansky, this dazzling holiday treat features ABT’s roster of superstar dancers along with gorgeous sets and costumes by Tony winner Richard Hudson, and Pacific Symphony playing Tchaikovsky’s timeless score.
The Nutcracker is the tale of a young girl, Clara, who receives the gift of a nutcracker doll at her family’s Christmas party. In her dreams that night, the nutcracker doll comes to life as a handsome prince who joins her on a magical journey. Together, they travel to lands filled with dancing snowflakes, waltzing flowers, a mouse army and other exotic characters, all brought to vivid life on stage by a cast of over 100 performers!
American Ballet Theatre’s The Nutcracker is one of the great joys of the holiday season. Make a memory with your loved ones!
VIP Sweet Seats
A limited number of exclusive Sweet Seats are available for all The Nutcracker performances!

Make it a holiday experience your loved ones will remember forever!
Jessica Vosk Sleigh | December 17
“Jessica Vosk has one of the most pure and sublime voices to grace any stage. You cannot take your eyes off her when she is on stage.” – BroadwayWorld
“Her powerhouse and pristine vocals aside, the true achievement here is Vosk’s ability to switch musical genres effortlessly, engaging each song with a new vocal attack that is completely truthful to its musical style.” – Playbill
A Center favorite since she first appeared in our Cabaret Series in 2022, Jessica Vosk has dazzled with each appearance and left our audience clamoring for her return! Known for her powerhouse vocals and
transformative stage presence, Jessica Vosk is redefining holiday magic with SLEIGH, bringing her
signature wit, sincerity and sparkle to create a special spin on holiday classics and brand-new carols.
Best known for her star turn as Elphaba in the musical Wicked—first on tour and then joining the show’s 15th anniversary on Broadway—Vosk played the green witch for two years and was featured performing “Defying Gravity” in the PBS Great Performances 50th Anniversary Concert.
Most recently seen on Broadway in Alicia Keys’ Tony Award-winning Best Musical, Hell’s Kitchen, Vosk’s other Broadway credits include Fiddler on the Roof, Finding Neverland, and The Bridges of Madison County.
Vosk had an unconventional journey to Broadway, beginning her career on Wall Street before taking the leap of faith to pursue her dreams on stage. Her one-of-a-kind story has been profiled on ABC’s 20/20 and NBC Nightly News.
In constant demand on stages across the globe (her Carnegie Hall shows have become legendary), we are thrilled to have Jessica back and are sure this holiday concert will be a magical gift for all in attendance!
Silent Night Silent Disco | December 17

Celebrating 30 years in North America, Salute to Vienna New Year’s Concert returns to Costa Mesa for a
dazzling anniversary season. This beloved annual tradition is an unmissable addition to every music-lover’s holiday wish list.
At the heart of Salute to Vienna New Year’s Concert is the richly festive, romantic, and soul-stirring music of Johann Strauss, Jr. Mark the 200th anniversary of the famed composer’s birth with a selection of soaring overtures, arias, and duets that capture the essence of Vienna’s Golden Age, including the Blue Danube Waltz.
With a charming expert in Viennese music at the conductor’s podium, the Waltz King’s timeless music bursts to life in performances by some of Europe’s finest singers, internationally acclaimed dancers, and a full orchestra. With elegant costumes, bright floral designs, and even a joke or two from the conductor, this cherished tradition is the perfect way to waltz into the new year.
