With the many entertainment choices New York City has to offer, it can be difficult to make a choice. Look no further. “On Stage” host Frank DiLella has curated a list of “must-see” shows this week, directing you to the best of Broadway, Off-Broadway and beyond.

“Walk on Through: Confessions of a Museum Novice”

Over at MCC, don’t miss Tony winner Gavin Creel in his latest project “Walk on Through: Confessions of a Museum Novice”. The musical theater favorite is the composer, writer and star of this new off-Broadway show. “Walk on Through” was born out of Gavin’s first time visiting the Metropolitan Museum of Art after living in the city for two decades. For tickets, head to mcctheater.org. 

“We Need a Little Christmas”

On Sunday, “Judy Garland” returns to Carnegie Hall, well sort of, with “We Need a Little Christmas”. Catch Singing Sensation Debbie Wileman take on the iconic Garland and perform some holiday classics. Special guests set to appear alongside Wileman include Tony winners Barry Bostwick and Chita Rivera, and Academy Award winner Margaret O’Brien, who worked with Judy on the film “Meet Me in St. Louis”.

“I’ll Be Home For Christmas”

From Dec. 12-17, two-time Tony winner Christine Ebersole and Billy Stritch will bring their holiday show “I’ll Be Home For Christmas” to 54 Below.

”George Balanchine’s The Nutcracker”

“Nutcracker Rouge”

And speaking of “The Nutcracker,” if you’re looking to spice things up this year, head on over to Bushwick to catch Company XIV’s “Nutcracker Rouge”.
