Katie Pinder Brown captures Karen’s iconic voice with grace and accuracy, backed by a top-tier band that brings each arrangement to life.
This production features the Carpenters’ own Christmas hits—like Merry Christmas Darling and The Christmas Waltz—alongside their cherished chart-toppers, including Close to You and We’ve Only Just Begun.
Close To The Carpenters At Christmas is beautifully staged with rich vocals, live musicians and vintage Carpenter clips. It’s a full multi-media production, and sing-along too.
“When Katie Pinder Brown sings Merry Christmas Darling and The Christmas Waltz, it’s like hearing Karen Carpenter all over again. The show is a delightful trip back to those classic holiday specials we all loved.”
