melissa langton & mark jones
santa claus is
coming to town
You’ve never been to Christmas party quite like this one! Slap on a Santa hat and strap yourself in for a swinging sleigh ride with Australia’s favourite cabaret duo!
Melissa Langton and Mark Jones are known for their powerhouse vocals, tight harmonies and quirky humour but every year when Christmas rolls around they have to admit there’s nothing they love more than a song about chestnuts roasting on an open fire!
There’ll be Classic Carols, Christmas Cracker Jokes, a Kris Kringle Quiz, a Santa Sack full of Giveaways - and it wouldn’t be Christmas without a good old singalong round the Steinway!!
Songs include Santa Baby, Away in a Manger, I Saw Mummy Kissing Santa Claus, Silent Night, Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas and (almost inevitably) Santa Claus Is Coming to Town!!
Performed with a swinging 3-piece band.
Arranged and Musically Directed by Mark Jones
Melissa Langton & Mark Jones have been one of Australia’s most popular cabaret acts for over 20 years. In 2001 they won the Sydney Cabaret Convention, and in 2002 won Melbourne’s prestigious Green Room Award for Best Cabaret Artist and together Mark and Melissa won Best Cabaret Duo and since then have been blazing a cabaret trail all across world! They performed to great acclaim in Dublin, Berlin, Vienna and wowed Manhattan on the opening night of the 2002 New York Cabaret Convention! They have an incredible 12 Green Room Awards between the two of them (OK, 10 of them are for Mark!)
At home they have performed to sellout crowds at Melbourne’s Chapel off Chapel, the Adelaide, Melbourne & Perth Cabaret Festival, and the Sydney Cabaret Convention. The regularly perform at corporate functions and theatres around Australia.
Their show is a night of sassy and powerful cabaret. The song list wide and varied and shows off their flair for recreating the 60’s and 70’s. But their forte lies in their comedy numbers and in their soul drenched vocal fireworks. In the words of The Melbourne Age, they are an “irresistible double act”!
