Haul Out the Jolly with the Denver Gay Men’s Chorus – Boulder Daily Camera
Mark your calendars! This December 9 and 11, the Denver Gay Men’s Chorus presents Haul Out the Jolly, a concert performance brimming with festivity, gaiety, and cheer.
Haul Out the Jolly will feature a varied repertoire, including classics such as Bach’s Jauchzet frohlocket and Handel’s “Hallelujah Chorus” (featuring the Grand Organ). Pop selections include “Peace on Earth/Little Drummer Boy,” as made famous by David Bowie and Bing Crosby, and “The Chanukah Song (We Are Lights),” by Stephen Schwartz. Also performed will be a gospel rendition of “Go Tell It on the Mountain,” a new arrangement of “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas,” and new lyrics to Broadway’s “Big Spender” from the musical Sweet Charity entitled “Big Santa.” And, as usual, the Denver Gay Men’s Chorus’s costumes, choreography, and killer band will round out the holiday camp that audiences have come to love and adore.
