Chicago native and EGOT recipient Jennifer Hudson is making a stop in the Windy City this holiday season as part of her series “The Gift of Love: An Intimate Live Experience.” The one-night show will feature a spellbinding selection of songs from Hudson’s upcoming Christmas album, The Gift of Love.
Hudson shared the news of her new album and tour during Wednesday’s screening of her eponymous talk show. “Christmas and music is a huge part of me and who I am…”, said Hudson, “…To be able to create a Christmas album that I now get to share with the world is like a Christmas gift to myself in a way!”
Hudson described her vision for the performance as a reflection of her own holiday traditions and family celebrations. “I want it to be very intimate, very family oriented, where we all come together and we have a musical good time,” said Hudson.
The Gift of Love will take center stage at the Chicago Theatre on Friday, December 13. Attendees can expect renditions of some of their favorite holiday carols, including “Oh Holy Night,” “Winter Wonderland,” and “Auld Lang Syne.”
Pre-sale tickets are available now, with standard sale set for Friday, 10 a.m. local time.
