Alicia Witt returns to The Dakota to get you in the holiday spirit with a festive evening of Christmas music.
Witt is a classically trained, award winning pianist and Billboard Top 30 charting singer-songwriter. She released her first full-length Christmas album, I Think I’m Spending Christmas With You, in 2024. Critics and fans alike warmly received the album, which features nine heartfelt, uplifting originals and three holiday standards. Additionally, Christmas movie fans also recognize her for her ten holiday movies, including eight on Hallmark Channel. Moreover, many of those movies include her other original Christmas songs.
Witt starred in 2024’s smash hit movie Longlegs, opposite Nicolas Cage. Her four-decade career as an actor began at age seven with David Lynch’s classic DUNE (1984). She also appeared in Two Weeks Notice, Mr. Holland’s Opus, Urban Legend, Last Holiday, and 88 Minutes. Additionally, her TV credits include Twin Peaks, Orange is the New Black, The Walking Dead, Law and Order, The Sopranos, and Cybill, to name a few.
Witt started out in music by playing piano in the restaurant of the Beverly/Wilshire Hotel in the early 1990s. The Nashville Scene said of her 2015 album Revisionary History: “Witt’s new album Revisionary History is a piano-pop gem that sounds by turns like Grey Seal–era Elton John, an alt-universe Fiona Apple and a film-noir chanteuse notching her nights in cigarette burns on the fallboard.” Witt also played a recurring role in the TV show Nashville; she plays several songs throughout Season Four.
‘’…her skilled fingers flying over the keys and her rangy, honeyed voice, clear as crystal, pretty as a stained-glass window, carrying the audience into the ether… This is a voice to treasure, wrapped around visceral visuals, and memorable melodies. ‘’ – Broadway World
