Christmas with the Crawfords

Desert Theatreworks presents Christmas with the Crawfords at The Margaritaville Resort Palm Springs November 17 - December 30, 2023.

This riotous camp classic is based on the actual Christmas Eve live radio broadcast from the Crawford family’s Brentwood mansion in 1949. Filled with exaggerated silver screen icons, this mash-up musical parody is a loving homage to Hollywood’s “Golden Age” and features appearances of Tinsel Town divas such as Judy Garland, Carmen Miranda, Gloria Swanson, Hedda Hopper and the Andrews Sisters. Christmas With The Crawfords is a delightful alternative to the usual saccharine fare offered during the holidays and is guaranteed to make anyone who sees it feel much better about their own family this time of year.

The evening performance are at 7:30 pm and the Sunday matinees are at 2:00 pm
