During her debut show at Sony Hall on April 8, 2025, Christmas brought her childhood dream to life with a spirited live rendition of “Wonderful Land”, taking on the role of the Mad Hatter. Wearing the very hat she donned as a child, the performance became a heartfelt nod to her beginnings and a celebration of her journey in musical theatre.
Christmas, who discovered her love for performance at age eight, shared the story behind her Mad Hatter role:
“I was with [the show] and it was the Mad Hatter, and I loved that role. It was the moment that I found out I loved making people laugh and how truly mad I really am. I even brought the hat I wore on the podium in London when I was 8 years old.”
From the moment she stepped on stage, Christmas’s energy and charm held the audience spellbound. Her delivery of “Wonderful Land” showcased not only her powerful Broadway vocals but also her remarkable ability to embody her characters fully, transforming herself into the most enchanting and expressive figure in her repertoire.

Fans online were quick to share their admiration:
“Born to entertain… I’m so glad she gets to be her wonderful self on stage because that’s the most amazing character in her repertoire,”
“Sydnie, you are such a great person. We can tell you love people,”
“Reminds me of a young Barbra Streisand in the early 1960s. The energy combined with unworldly talent,”
