On The Scene: Christmas parties
AND A MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU, JIM!
JOHN BERGER / JBERGER@STARBULLETIN.COM
Jim Nabors, second from left, celebrated with Jimmy Borges, Emma Veary and Matt Catingub Dec. 4 at the post-show reception for his annual Christmas show, "A Merry Christmas with Friends & Nabors" at the Hawaii Theatre. The production was Nabors' best-ever Christmas show here. Nabors was in great voice throughout, and the interaction with Borges, Veary and Karen Keawehawai'i added warmth and humor -- Borges threw everybody off when he ad libbed some mildly risque lyrics on "You Meet the Nicest People Everywhere Around Christmas Time." Nabors' duet with Veary on "Silent Night" was another highlight in a perfect Christmas show.
