“This is a voice to treasure” - Broadway World
Alicia Witt comes to The Bur Oak to get you in the holiday spirit with a festive evening of Christmas music.
A classically trained, award winning pianist and Billboard Top 30 charting singer- songwriter, Alicia’s full length Christmas album, I Think I’m Spending Christmas With You, came out in 2024. Featuring nine heartfelt and uplifting originals and three holiday standards, Witt is delighted to bring her 2nd holiday tour to Madison. She is also familiar to Christmas movie fans for her ten holiday movies, including 8 on Hallmark Channel - many of which include her other original Christmas songs.
Witt starred in last summer’s smash hit movie Longlegs, opposite Nicolas Cage. Her 4 decade career as an actor began at age 7 with David Lynch’s classic DUNE (1984) and has included such films as Two Weeks Notice, Mr Holland’s Opus, Urban Legend, Last Holiday, and 88 Minutes, and TV including Twin Peaks, Orange is the New Black, The Walking Dead, Law and Order, The Sopranos, and Cybill, to name a few.
Alicia began her career as a professional musician by playing background piano at 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, as an audible cloud, heaven bound. Patrons around the room could be seen to clasp hands over hearts and heard, sighing with beatific bliss. This is a voice to treasure, wrapped around visceral visuals, and memorable melodies.”
