​Kristen Hertzenberg and Philip Fortenberry perform a delightful array of holiday music from their album, taking audiences on a wistful ride and connecting to the heart of the most magical time of the year. 


It began with a studio collaboration. In 2011, Kristen and Philip released Holidays From the Heart, an album of holiday standards and non-traditional selections. The record draws from diverse influences, offering stunning versions of “Silent Night,” Beth Nielsen Chapman and Melissa Manchester’s “There’s Still My Joy,” and A Charlie Brown Christmas perennial “Christmas Time Is Here.” Hertzenberg, a versatile vocalist who starred for five years as “Christine” in the Las Vegas production of The Phantom of the Opera, performs the songs with the close intimacy of a cabaret singer and the power of one who belted out Broadway classics several nights a week.


“It’s a true gift each time I make music with Philip Fortenberry. He is absolutely world-class,” Hertzenberg says. “The material we’ve selected brings a warmth and energy that’s entirely different from the rest of the year, and amid the frenzy this season can bring, it puts me right in the frame of mind where I want to be.”

Kristen will join the cast of The Q's fourth show of the season, Marvelous Movie Musicals. The show runs April 26 - May 19, 2024, with performances Wednesday through Sunday. 

Celebrate the music of Hollywood with four fabulous singers and QHP's piano, bass, and drum trio. This cabaret revue spotlights songs from musicals made for film, movie musicals that originated on Broadway, as well as award-winning songs featured in major motion pictures. 

​Quality Hill Playhouse is located in downtown Kansas City's Arts District.
