In their annual holiday concert series, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy sets the Christmas season in full swing with a set of big-band carols and spirited jazz standards. Bandleader Scotty Morris grips the mike like a Christmas ornament that just wonâEUR(TM)t stay still while leading his old-fashioned ensemble in an eggnog-smooth cover of âEURoeBlue ChristmasâEUR� and a hip-swiveling cha-cha version of âEURoeJingle Bells.âEUR� In a rare moment of nearly sober reverence, the bandâEUR(TM)s instrumental âEURoeWe Three KingsâEUR� strikes a slower, more solemn note. Other, less familiar gems might include Louis ArmstrongâEUR(TM)s âEURoeZat You Santa Claus?âEUR� and âEURoeMr. Heatmiser,âEUR� a snappy duet from the 1972 claymation classic The Year Without a Santa Claus.

Big Bad Voodoo Daddy performs âEURoeRockabilly XmasâEUR� on Last Call with Carson Daly in 2004

Union County Performing Arts Center

As a living landmark to the performing arts and cornerstone of the Rahway Arts District, the Union County Performing Arts Center has endured history and earned its way onto the National and State Registers of Historic Places. Recently restored to its 1928 luster, the former Rahway Theatre retains the charm and grandeur of its vaudeville theater origins while encouraging new forms of entertainment. From its 1,300 seatsâEUR"âEUR"where crowds once gathered to watch RKO movies and WWII newsreelsâEUR"âEUR"audiences can marvel at the theaterâEUR(TM)s opulent, gold-crested ceilings and ponder how many dresses can be made from its rich red drapes. One of the theaterâEUR(TM)s proudest treasures is its original Wurlitzer organ, which is small in stature, but emits massive sound out of its 500 pipes.
