Storm Large: Holiday Ordeal

Storm Large, the singer known for her work with Pink Martini and her run on Rock Star: Supernova, brings Holiday Ordeal to the Beverly O'Neill Theater at the Long Beach Convention & Entertainment Center on Saturday, December 12, 2026.

About the show

Holiday Ordeal is Storm's take on the season: a holiday cabaret for grown-ups. Backed by her band, she mixes Christmas standards with rock songs that were never written for December, her own originals, and stories from family holidays that were rarely calm. Expect big vocals, real sentiment and a few jokes you won't hear at the kids' table.

The Beverly O'Neill Theater seats 825, so no seat is far from the stage.
