Nixon made her stage debut in The Philadelphia Story, following up her award-winning performance by appearing in two Broadway shows simultaneously with Hurlyburly and The Real Thing.
Filmed in 2023, the one-night-only event featured Brian Stokes Mitchell, Audra McDonald, Peter Friedman, and more from the Ahrens and Flaherty musical's original cast.
Surrounded by period-accurate, 19th-century holiday decorations lit via candlelight, the 70-minute production is based on Dickens' own script of the classic.
