About the Performance from Scout Hall

This holiday season, Scout Hall welcomes St. Louis Muny favorite Debby Lennon with the Pfeffer Trio for Winter’s Kiss, a festive evening of jazz and holiday classics. The performance follows Cape Girardeau’s Downtown Christmas Tree Lighting on Friday, November 28.

Lennon, a celebrated vocalist and actress, has performed everywhere from Carnegie Hall to The Muny and with the St. Louis Symphony. Known for her powerful voice and sassy stage presence, she brings fresh energy to seasonal favorites by Irving Berlin, Cole Porter, the Gershwins, and Harold Arlen—infused with jazz grooves and holiday warmth. Most recently, Lennon earned acclaim for her roles in Beauty & the Beast at The Muny and Grey Gardens at Max & Louie Productions, which earned her multiple St. Louis Circle Awards.

She’ll be joined by the acclaimed Pfeffer Trio: Nick Schlueter, piano, Jeremy Pfeffer, bass, and Joe Weber on drums.

Together, they deliver a lively and sophisticated mix of standards, swing, and ballads that promise to capture the magic of the season.

The show takes place in Scout Hall’s intimate cabaret setting, with table seating and general admission. Guests can expect a cozy, up-close experience with one of St. Louis’s most versatile performers and her dynamic band.

This marks Lennon’s Cape Girardeau debut with Winter’s Kiss, offering local audiences the chance to experience the magic that St. Louis critics and fans have long celebrated.
