The Classic Broadmoor Holiday Show is a delightful dinner event featuring seasonal classics in a fun variety-show format, complete with a few surprises.

Big Names

By popular demand, this year’s event will welcome back Debby Boone—daughter of famed American singer, actor and icon Pat Boone. The Grammy Award-winning singer is also the granddaughter of late Country Music Hall of Famer Red Foley as well as the daughter-in-law of Rosemary Clooney of White Christmas (1954), which also starred Bing Crosby.

Boone will be joined at The Broadmoor by Broadway’s Marcus Lovett and his daughter, Cathryn Lovett.

Beautiful Music

The Colorado Springs Children’s Chorale will also perform, along with The Broadmoor Pops Orchestra with the resort’s musical and entertainment director, Kenneth Miller, an accomplished composer.

Along with his impressive work with The Broadmoor, Miller has credits for film and television, from Frasier to Friends, with a focus on documentaries. He’s had cigars with James Newton Howard and spent time with Dave Grusin, an early pioneer of digital recording. Miller is currently working on a composition for a short film to be released in early 2025, that revolves around the concept of “The Rainbow Bridge.”

More immediately, Miller is preparing for the December shows at The Broadmoor, which he describes as a “...spectacular, extravaganza at a historic five-star, five-diamond resort.” 

Miller not only has extensive experience, but also has been associated with The Broadmoor for 42 years, and this his 22nd year directing The Broadmoor’s December shows.

“When I was in the Air Force, at the Academy, I moonlighted at The Broadmoor,” Miller says. “As soon as I moved here, I took gigs at The Broadmoor.”

A Show for All Ages

The Classic Broadmoor Holiday Show runs December 13, 14, 20, 21 and 24th.

“Debby Boone has performed four times before, maybe five, actually,” Miller says. “She’s wonderful. We have Marcus Lovett, who’s a really talented actor and singer. He’s performed back-to-back performances on Broadway—he’s brilliant and his daughter, Cathryn, is incredible.”

“This year’s show has new arrangements I’ve written, and it’s got something for everyone: of all ages,” Miller says. “The Broadmoor is the greatest place in the world for Christmas time. It’s a magical place.”
