David Rogers:
Hello! Merry Christmas and happy holidays. I am David Rogers, I am the director of Merry & Bright and I also created and I had the pleasure of writing the show for the likes of these fine people.
Valerie Boyle:
And I am Valerie Boyle, and I play Neil’s wife.
Neil Aitchison:
And it’s just a fake wife by the way. Hi, I am Neil Aitchison, and it’s my pleasure and great inconvenience to be a part of this fantastic company. I have worked with David before, and that was always predictable and wonderful, and this is the first time I have got to work with Valerie Boyle. Not only does she sing beautifully, and not only is she funny, but she makes us happy.
Valerie Boyle:
Awwwww
David Rogers:
Well for me, the most rewarding part of putting on this show was, of course getting to work with these two legends, and being able to present Christmas music and holiday music. This is a compilation of all of your favourite songs, from “Let it Snow,” “Winter Wonderland,” to a “Christmas Carol” sing along 
Valerie Boyle:
It’s going to be like a house party – a Christmas house party, where you’re all invited, and the audience are the extended relatives. They are all the family.
Neil Aitchison:
I tell anybody who asks, if you like Christmas, you’re going to love this show. I promise.
