Unwrapped: Classics, Carols & Cabaret.

One voice. One room. All the feels.
Wed, Dec. 16 · Doors 7 PM, Show 7:30 PM · The Daisy Arts Center · $40

Some people wait all year for the tree. We wait for the voice that makes a room go quiet.

Miami native Wilkie Ferguson III is coming home for the holidays. He's sung on Broadway stages and toured the country with Dreamgirls, Hairspray, and In the Heights. This December, he's trading all that for an intimate room on Sistrunk and a night of carols, classics, and cabaret, joined by a lineup of featured artists.

But the stage isn't the only place to shine. Come in your holiday best and let award-winning photographer Symone Titania Major turn your look into a Christmas portrait worth framing. Doors open at 7, so come early and get your photo in before the music starts.

Your evening includes:

• A live holiday concert with Wilkie Ferguson III and featured artists
• A Christmas portrait session with Symone Titania Major
• A best-dressed moment
• Unlimited hot cocoa and holiday cookies
• A cash bar

The dress code: Christmas chic. Velvet, sparkle, your favorite ugly sweater, whatever makes you feel festive.

Gather your people, put on something you love, and come get in the spirit.
$40, limited seating, and when it's gone, it's gone.

Who says Christmas has to be all silent nights and perfect presents?

We're turning up the laughs at The Daisy with a live holiday comedy show, then handing you a piping bag and letting the real competition begin. The Great Cookie Decorating Competition is open to anyone brave enough to enter, whether you're a cookie Picasso or a frosting free-styler. Your ticket includes one cookie entry (extra entries available).

Our panel of judges will watch closely and take this very seriously, we promise. But they don't get the final say on everything. The whole room votes for the Audience Choice winner, so campaign accordingly. Both winners take home VIP tickets to the rest of the Hued Songs season.

What's in store:

• A live Christmas comedy show full of holiday laughs
• Live holiday music, because we couldn't help ourselves
• The Great Cookie Decorating Competition, with unlimited entries
• A panel of judges with strong opinions about frosting
• Two winners, Judges' Pick and Audience Choice, both taking home VIP season tickets
• Entry to the cookie decorating competition
• An unlimited hot cocoa bar

Bring your friends, your holiday spirit, and your best frosting game. Last place gets a cookie too.

$40 • General Admission, includes one cookie and your entry
