A woman with red hair styled in an elaborate updo, wearing a purple dress with a plunging neckline and jewelry, appears to be angry or yelling while holding a wire sculpture. She is inside a room with a framed portrait of a woman wearing a white dress on the wall behind her, and a red couch with some clothes and objects on it in the background.

Mamma Dearest: Here We Joan Again is a laugh out loud holiday parody that collides the outrageous world of Mommie Dearest with the sun drenched charm of Mamma Mia!. When Christina Crawford secretly invites a trio of legendary Hollywood divas to Joan Crawford's holiday getaway in hopes of discovering the truth about her past, the holiday quickly spirals into glorious chaos. Alongside Joan's impossibly handsome houseboys, Chiquitita and Fernando, the party soon fills with Judy Garland, Bette Davis, Eartha Kitt, Liza Minnelli, Cher, and more in a whirlwind of razor sharp comedy, outrageous camp, and hilarious parody songs. Equal parts old Hollywood fever dream and Christmas spectacular, Mamma Dearest is a celebration of chosen family, queer joy, and the divas who refuse to leave the spotlight.

Group of women in colorful dresses and patterns, some with jewelry and sunglasses, hugging and smiling on a stage with a blue background and curtains.
The image shows a theatrical scene with six actors on stage, dressed in vintage clothing from the 1950s or 1960s. The central female character appears angry or distressed, with her arms raised above her head. The surrounding actors are intently focused on her, with some appearing stern or confrontational. The stage is lit with pink and purple lights, and there is a painting of a woman in the background.
Three people, two men and a woman, are on a red couch, with the woman reading a book. The men are leaning over her, one with a curious expression and the other with a surprised or shocked expression. The scene looks like a performance or a staged scene indoors.

Liza’s Christmaz with a Z brings together Liza Minnelli, Bette Midler, Barry Manilow, Truman Capote, Santa Claus, and a colorful cast of bathhouse regulars for an outrageous holiday comedy filled with camp, chaos, and more Fosse neck than we know what to do with.

Can Liza save Christmas?!
