Set in December of 1961, The Stardust Christmas Fandango will continue Harlequin’s annual celebration of American pop music for the holidays. Fandango is the twenty-second in the series that has provided a delightful alternative Holiday entertainment for all ages since 1994. A small Greenwich Village nightspot, the Stardust Club is home to a group of striving performers and musicians who struggle to keep the doors open while negotiating their personal lives, romances and Big Apple career moves. The roller coaster events of the mid-twentieth century may keep them off balance, but Christmas still brings out the best in everyone. A Holiday Gift for All Ages.
