For many of us, the kitchen is that magical place where we share so much throughout our lives. It always seems to be the room where people gather during Christmas and the holiday season. It’s a warm haven where we talk about our struggles, our successes, our loves and sometimes our losses. The kitchen holds many of our secrets and stories.
Lori, Rachel, Judi, Ginger and Joyann will reach into their bag of personal favorites and share a heartfelt collection of memories—snapshots in time that remind us of what really matters.
Audiences will enjoy a wide variety of songs including “The Hallelujah Chorus,” “I’ll Be Home for Christmas,” “Sleigh Ride,” “Carol of the Bells,” “It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year,” “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas,” “Jingle Bells” (a la Barbra Streisand), “Santa Baby,” “O Holy Night,” “Do You Hear What I Hear” and many more.

WOMEN ON THE MOON - CHANHASSEN DINNER THEATRES
Sunday, September 21st, 2025 @ 7:00 PM
Women on the Moon is a concert event that showcases some of our favorite artists from the 1960s such as: Mama Cass, Tina Turner, Aretha, Cher, Dusty Springfield, Lesley Gore, Grace Slick, Janis Joplin, Dionne Warwick, Mavis Staples, Joan Baez, Cher, Ella, Shirley Bassey, Laura Nyro, Diana Ross, Barbra, Joni Mitchell, Bonnie Raitt, Nancy Sinatra, and the great Nina Simone.
The 1960s was one of the most memorable decades of all time in the history of The United States. It started out with the election of President John F. Kennedy and the dawn of “Camelot” and closed out with the first man landing on the moon. In between these bookends would be the assassinations of JFK, RFK and MLK; civil rights legislation; protests; drugs; The Feminine Mystique; Black Power; hippies; Vietnam; Gloria Steinem; Nixon; the Watts riots; Andy Warhol; Stonewall; NOW; The Beatles; Laugh-In; The Rolling Stones; Twiggy; Woodstock; and so many other momentous events.
While men landed on the moon, women artists took their own giant leap into every area of the musical landscape. The ‘60s were inarguably the most prolific decade for female vocalists and musicians in many diverse styles and categories. From pop and folk to rock and roll and rhythm and blues, women launched themselves into the music scene and claimed their space in the mostly male dominated industry.
