Wed. Dec. 31 - 10pm on WKAR-HD 23.1 | Ring in the New Year with a celebration that recalls the heyday of glamorous New York nightclubs with entertainer Michael Feinstein.

A consummate showman and American Songbook aficionado, Feinstein headlines an evening packed with musical entertainment to ring in 2015 with family entertainment on New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day as well.

MICHAEL FEINSTEIN NEW YEAR’S EVE AT THE RAINBOW ROOM features songs from legendary composers Johnny Mercer, Cole Porter, George & Ira Gershwin and more.  In tribute to Frank Sinatra’s upcoming 100th birthday celebration, Feinstein and Criss perform an energized duet medley. A rousing rendition of Jerry Lee Lewis’ “Great Balls of Fire,” with Feinstein re-creating Lewis’ signature piano-playing style, brings the star-studded evening to a spectacular close.
